I must say the Blue-Ray drive could have been better integrated. Now it looks like s@@t.


"Created by Sony as an accurately proportioned replica, the PS3 model may be made entirely from wood, but it takes more than a cursory glance to realise that it's not the genuine article and gave us a good impression of what the Sony powerhouse will look like nestling next to our TV."

Hmm, it's definately chunky, not worth the initial price tag for sure!

dude those are gonna be like $500-$600....
i could hella upgrade my computer with that money :O

Its still a console................

as much as the hype may indicate such a price,

by the time of release if they think they can sell at 500-600, then they have reduced thier market catchment by at least 65% meaning that even working class families will not have ps3's for christmas.

dont get me wrong it "Will" sell but only if mummy and daddy are rich enough

expect to see major retailers doing finance deals.

The general console has always been affordable to the "not so wealthy"

so you either sell cheap and sell more and have a longer market run

OR

Sell high prices and put your product out the market with some return.

HD or no HD its not for me.

Xbox is nasty and yeah its going to be shadowed by the ps3 but the xbox is £194.92
and when your talking games consoles then thats exceptable price for the product, you cant add £400 on top of that.

Things you could easily buy with 600 quid:

1,133.63 USD

CAR taxed and tested

ROAD BIKE taxed and tested

motorcross bike

pit bike
banging stereo
"20" minimotos

any other suggestions on what 600 would be better spent on?
