    PS3 to be released at $499/$599 & E499/E599

    Since Asher didn't create the thread, I thought I might as well.

    $499/$599 & E499/E599 is pretty damn expensive when the competition is $299/$399 (or less, by the time the PS3 is released)!
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

    Well, if you put it into pounds, the prices seem more reasonable.

    As long as you don't show the pound symbol, and make people think in dollar terms.

      Yes, if we divide the price by a high number, and don't mention that fact, it doesn't seem so bad.

          Haven't been to CG for forever. I assume he has the same opinion about the obscene price?

            Why the difference in price between US and EU? Why cheaper in US?

              Good question. The discount in the US versus the Eurozone is rather substantial (more than 20% at current exchange rates).

                Because USAmericans are cheaper and whinier.
                The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

                The Weighted Companion Cube is cheating on you, that slut.

                  Ah right... Asher is banned for a week for crap reasons.

                  I saw the news myself and apparently the 'cheaper' PS3 is more crippled than the 360 Core was compared to the Premium. The cheaper PS3 has no Wi-Fi, memory slots, or HDMI ports which the more expensive version does, and unlike the 360 there is no way to purchase accessories later to make the cheaper one like the more expensive one.

                    It is lower than he predicted.

                      Does anybody have a link to a chart comparing the features of the 360 core versus PS3 core and the 360 premium versus the PS3 premium?

                          After Sony's presentation last night and Nintendo's this morning there is no way in hell I'm getting a PS3.

                          The Wii looks absolutely fantastic compared to Sony's offering.

                              I've just checked out Wii, having not heard of it before. The controller that incorporates motion sensors sounds interesting, but I wonder what is its resolution and how responsive it is.
