To compete with it's rival, the XBOX 360, the PS3 will need to be extremely huge. I predict approximately, 5 miles by 5.

In a radio interview with Générations Europe 1 yesterday, George Fornay -- president of Sony Computer Entertainment France and vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe -- let a little something slip: the PlayStation 3 will cost between €499 and €599. That's somewhere between $613 to $736 in American dollars! He was sure to point out that while this might sound like a lot of money for a game system, it was in fact cheap for a Blu-ray compatible playback system.
Good luck.

Fortunately for U.S. gamers (and unluckily for Europeans), no console manufacturer ever bases the price of its consoles on the currency exchange rates. The chances are that the US dollar figure of the PS3 will be equal to or lower than the euro numbers, not in line with the currency exchange rate. Don't believe us? Check out the Xbox 360's European pricing. For some reason the Xbox 360 price in U.S. dollars is identical to the price in euros -- working out to a €60 or €80 premium depending on which console you purchase.
Still looking at $500 to $600.

Squeek you do know that Sony announced at a later date that the announcement was based on misread informaton? The prices is expected to be between $400-500. That's pretty good IMO.

I did hear that Sony said $499-$599 as it doesn't translate from Pounds to Dollars like that. Never heard that they dropped it.

We'll learn at E3. I don't know about you, but I already bought a computer. I'm not about to drop 5-600 on one that can't even do half the things this one can.

Then again, I'm incredibly against Sony because they make shoddy products that fall apart in a year.

Good luck with your console.

I'll be waiting at least a year. Maybe longer, if that must-have game (like KH was for the PS2) has yet to show after that time.

Oh, and if it is $500-$600, I won't buy it until they slash that price in half. I'm not going to pay half the price of a high-end computer just to play a few games. The prospect of games going for $60 is ridiculous enough.

I probably won't get it until much later when they have good games out and the price is less steep. Also, the advantage of waiting is that you can ask friends about the console and if it is really worth shelling out 5-600$.

A good high end gaming computer costs $2000-3000.

No the PS3 controller will be the same as the Dual Shock 2 except the fact that it has a button under the Start and Select that turns the system on and off and accesses the XBar, and it is motion sensored along the X,Y, and Z axis allowing a sort of Wii type motion.

Actually, I'm dissapointed with myself for not updating this thread. I'll do it when I get home from school.

All you would have to do is upgrade a pc to be at the same level as consoles.

Wait, wait, wait. I thought the PS3 can't backtrack because if its Blu-Ray system... Well I guess either way it will do well...
Except that the Blu-Ray discs are probably going to be like, $100 dollars each.

The Wii looks really difficult to manage because of its controller... I sure hope that the PS3 controller is much easier to manage with. Is it wireless? Is there going to be a wireless one?

One of the most important questions for me: Is there going to be a DDR game for it? Soon?

Sorry, I just HAD to go find these. I couldn't resist. =P

Don't blame me, blame the author!

Anyways, I don't like the PS much... I doubt i'm getting this. I'm gonna be getting the N-REV... (hopefully).

Also gonna try and get The Sims for my bday which is coming up in a few days.

PLAYSTATION SUCKS.

PS2 was bad enough, PS3 is gonna be worse.
The only good thing about PS2 is all the DDR game and ITG.
