F...The PS3

$600???? Are you outta your friggin minds? That is just sickening to think people will buy this machine.

Go with the xbox360 if you want gaming and boycott the Japanese.

And support another evil empire. LOL

You know that people will pay it too. I gotta' say, after seeing some videos from the PS3, it looks AMAZING.

lol pick your poison. I think i'm gonna wait until the price goes down, then try and get a ps3. I'm gonna wait until the price is at least 250, no matter how long it takes.

forever?

I am not get any of them. Hopefully someone in my dorm will have one and I'll mooch of them.

neo-geo and 3do cost a lot more in relative terms... of course, both failed miserably. looks like the release games are going to be a bit dinky since mosts devs haven't gotten kits yet (so they can't optimize the games for the cell processor, and consequently, they'll play crappier and look worse then they should).

I still have pong and all four games are great.

It's interesting to see that the Xbox and Nintendo are almost teaming up, Microsoft is telling consumers to buy a Xbox and a Nintendo Wii for the same price of one PS3.

The new Wii controller is making a lot of heads turn, should be interesting to see how well it integrates with games.

positional controllers have been around since 1987 or so for game consoles, but the tech's just never been good enough to overcome the burden before. Devs already understand the concepts of the Wii controller far better than things like the DS stylus or whatnot, so i think, even at launch, they'll already have games using it fairly well.

By the time it is 250 xBox will be about to come out with their newest xbox version for 3-400 bucks. Sony is screwing this one up. They are going to sell these pretty good I think but they are potentially sacrificing their long term fan base by missing the price point. People dont want to spend 600 bucks only to have to replace it in 3 years.
