| xbox 360 will be $399 as of now...and ps3 will be jacked to $449 just a little tip off i heard.... |
|
|
| PS3's going to pound Microsofts XBOX 360 and whatever Nintendo wants to spew out. |
|
|
| how can you write " as LITTLE as 370" |
|
|
| it's about the price of a top of the range PC graphics card, which isn't bad considering you get the rest of the package thrown in :) |
|
|
| Seems a bit expensive compared to what the Xbox/Gamecube prices where this generation.
(both consoles vastely more powerfull then the PS2, dispite being much cheaper).
Of course, sony can justfy high prices on "power", regardless of if it actualy is usefull. |
|

|
|
| $370, not bad for what you'll be getting ... still, those are US dollars, so the price inflates for Australians and Canadians to about $450 approx. I never bought a PS2, only Xbox & Gamecube because I went through 4 PS 1's, and a friend went through 3 PS2's before giving up. Sure hope Sony puts some quality and durability into their new system for a change. I've still not yet had a problem with Xbox or N64 or Gamecube.

|
|
| "as little as" what are they talking about. Thats not little. I will not be buying this Playstation for 400 bucks. |
|
|
| PS3 will "pound" the 360? Lol! Sony's wasting all its time promoting this Cell technology crap, when everyone knows that the three processors in the 360 can run circles around it. Whatever happened to the good ol' days of Sony innovation? Sadly, those days are long dead... |
|
|
| I'm not going to listen to any little tip offs, lets hear it from the horse's mouth first, there is no need to get our heads in a spin with rumour mongering. |
|
|
| how much will the xbox cost? |
|
|
| This is to comment #9. The XBox 360 has not got 3 processors...it has 1 processor with 3 cores. The cell is 1 processor with 8 cores.There is a vast difference... |
|
|
| how the hell do we know the price of the macine that will be out in nex year? |
|
|
| Well I am pretty sure that whatever the price it is it will be competitive so that Sony remains on top. Sony will try to do everything they can to not let Xbox take a piece of their share. Based on PS2 and Xbox numbers the PS2 outsold the Xbox 4 to 1 (that is 80 million vs 20 million). |
|
|
| "Based on PS2 and Xbox numbers the PS2 outsold the Xbox 4 to 1 (that is 80 million vs 20 million)."
Is that because everyone had to buy another PS2 when it broke? |
|
|
| when will ms or sony start thinking out of the box? whatever happened to PSP?
is it doing good? |
|
|
| M$ caught up and out-sold Sony in 2004.
and #12 needs to read the spec sheets again.
The PS3 only has one core.
|
|
|
| I wouldn`t buy another playstation I have purchased 2 of ps2s and as soon as the warranty was up they both died and I mean as soon as the warranty was up like clock work I checked online and seems this has happened to plenty of other people as well. |
|
|
| Well... at least it's not 500$ and over.... I'm broke |
|
|
| I've had my PS2 for however many years without problems. I won't be buying any of the new consoles at the initial offering anyway. I'll wait until I see which games I really want |
|
|
| if you ask me, id rather go for a gaming computer than waste my time with these things because computers are always being updated and are compatible with anything if you have the right hardware, but with a system like this its just a cold 500 dollars out of your pocket, probably not worth it, except for the specific titles such as gta... but computers have always had the best games, especially for playing multiplayer. |
|
|
| PS3 all the way guys and can u get some more pics posted on ur web page plz |
|
|
| WHEN WILL THE PLAYSTATION 3 ACTUALLY COME OUT, ON WHAT DATE |
|
|
| That price is based on the conversion from Japanese yen (40,000y) to USD ($370). Anyway I don't think Sony has even decided on a price point yet, I bet when 2006 is here Sony is still clueless about a price point. It is just way too hard for them to to find the right price for everybody. They don't want to release it too cheap resulting them loosing vast amounts of money on each console sold, and they don't want to release it too expensive that it puts consumers off. I think it's going to be a 'you pay for what you get for' aproach, meaning that because you gonna have a mini super computer with $1000 worth of graphics cards that are equivelent to what is in the PS3, if we want all this power we're gonna have to pay for it. |
|
|
| "Is that because everyone had to buy another PS2 when it broke?"
LOL. Even if half of those were re-buys the PS2 would have outsold Xbox by a 2 to 1 margin (20 million vs 40 million).How is that for breakfast. And it is unrealistic to have 50% being defective. |
|
|
| To # 13 so you mean Xboxes did not break down. I remember reading about a massive recall due to the Xbox causing fires. |
|
|
| Comment #12 - you're wrong. The XBox 360 will have three general purpose cores, each with two hardware threads. Compare this to the crippled Cell protoype which didn't even implement IEEE compliant floating point operations. Sony is talking up TFLOPS - what they don't mention is whether programmers are going to have to deal with innaccurate calculations on a chip with no memory managemant unit without langauge support for writing highly parallel programs.
The Cell is still vaporware - don't believe the hype. |
|
|
|
|
| IT WILL BE WORTH IT....YOU KNOW IT! |
|
|
| for all of you thinking about ps3, check out its controller!!! LMFAO...seriously though, the controller itself would persuade me not to buy ps3. you'd feel like a homosexual or something playing a game with that! |
|
|
| i think the ps3 should be the same price as the ps2 launch.But if microsoft and Nintendo have higher pricing we should go the same price as them for competion. but if you asked me i would price it at an afordable price. |
|
|
| xbox 360 will rule ps3 is the biggist pile of **** i have ever seen |
|
|
| Let me win one, let me have one, let me keep it. |
|
|
| So to summarise here...
The Jap built PS3 will be unreliable? And the Chinese built, American designed Xbox 360 will definitley catch fire this time around?
The PS3 will be expensive, but cheaper than buying an Xbox 360 AND a high definition blu-ray/HD-DVD player. But wait M$ are already talking about a revision for it BEFORE it comes out. So you might need not to buy a high Def player - but then, games may start to ship on HD-DVD format, so'll have a redundant console...
So that's that cleared up then! |
|
|
| This Blu-ray HDDVD stuff drives me nuts.
Wish the companies would pick a darn format. |
|
|
| i got a mag last week and it said the ps3 would be around 250 to 300 quid |
|
|
| This sucks.When will Sony release the ps3!Everyone will alredy have a 360 and the ps3 will not sell good because everyone will have used their money on the X-BOX!I say to Sony get the thing out alredy!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
| This processer crap is driveing me nuts! I think it is all a bunch of marketing *^$#@%. |
|
|
|
|
| $370 dollors sounds great, but I'm from England and knowing our prices this sounds to good to be true sadly. |
|
|
| thats cheao and i ll by it the first day it come out. |
|
|
|
|
| no matter how much the ps3 costs i'll still buy it.........i've seen the graphics for it and it's definitley sweet **** it's worth the money how ever much it is thats why i'm saving up for it now |
|
|
| too expensive... the form of the console sucks.. |
|
|
| The PS3 better stay cheap cause im gonna get it! |
|
|
| if the ps3 keeps cheap it will smash the 360 |
|
|
| to me its not about grapics and price so much really to me its the games that make a console, i think ill get a ps3 so i can play MGS4 and FF13 and jak and dax 4 etc my friend tried to make me buy a 360 and i was tempted cos it looks better than the ps3 has the halo series and huxley looks good and the online gaming is meant to be good too but i thought hey i can trade in my ps2 (of which i had to buy two) and still play all my ps2 games YAY sorf of. also i really annoyed that they are selling core version and a deluxe version. so they can say its gona cost you $$$ when it really is gona cost you $$$$$$ now that bugs me |
