Lets face it, even if sony is arrogant, they sorta deserve the position. No, better yet, they earned it. The price of this console is not that bad. The problem is for our generation of gamers comming up through the years are used to simple machines at somewhat simple prices. The PS3 is complex. What would you think about paying the price of the actual PS3. I bet the cost is closer to $1000 for the company. I don't think they are making a cent of the sales. As far as i see it, im getting a $1000 blueray player for nearly half the cost. Oh and it plays video games too that have the potential to make Xbox look like a intelevision. The PS2 if you remember correctly at release (as i noted earlier) with the price of a game, an extra controller and a memory card (which would require lots of memory cards for this HD) was about $700. The xbox 360 in canada is selling for $500 in most stores and there was a price drop already. Im getting a hell of a deal at Sony's prices.

I own a xbox and its currently the only system i own, but im really excited for the ps3 and no matter the cost im getting one on release, infact i just went and payed off the rest of the cost. Honestly I thought I was going to have to pay a hell of alot more. As for fans leaving. The fans wont leave, the true fans wont go anywhere. Will all fans be able to afford one, no, but let me assure you most will pick one up eventually.
