How much will this PS3 cost

What could it be going for?

 

The new PS3 looks impressive in my opinion, but how much is it? Does anyone know?

 

so the PS3 will have three colors when it comes out because that will be cool

 

i heard it's around 300-500 range
probably 499 during launch and 299 a few months after

 

I might wait around for awhile. Is 300-500 confirmed, or just guessing? Is it going to be a lot of versions like the PS2 too? Damn, if that's the case then I would definitely wait. Seriously though, the newly designed PS3 is a bit big, yet very impressive at the same time.

 

It's propably more expensive than your house and car combined. Same goes with xbox 360. And games are going to be expensive too. Since games have better graphics, physics etc. it's going to be much more expensive to develop them. I guess about 10$-20$ (or euros) more than games on xbox and ps2.

 

E3 2005: PS3 Price Revealed?
One of the most expensive consoles ever created, according to Japanese reports.
by Matt Casamassina

May 17, 2005 - According a an article published in the May 17th edition of Japan's Mainichi Shimbun, the PlayStation 3 could be one of the most expensive mass-market videogame consoles ever created. Officials from Sony apparently told the newspaper that PlayStation 3s would sell in Japan for "less than 50,000 yen each." That translates to about $465 US dollars.

Sony unveiled its next-generation console at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005. The beast of a machine utilizes the powerful Cell processor, a custom-designed graphics chip by Nvidia, and 512MBs of RAM for a quantum leap in performance. The system will also be the first-ever to support high-def movie-playback out of the box, taking advantage of the upcoming Blu-ray Disc format.

Sony claims that PS3 will be roughly 35 times more powerful than PS2. If Mainichi Shimbun is correct, gamers will be asked to pay a hefty price for the high-end functionality.

IGN was unable to validate this news with Sony officials. Stay tuned for more as the story breaks.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, too expensive. Now im gonna have to drive my car though wall marts doors grab a xbox360 and a PS3 and drive away like the wind. . (Hey sony and M$, see what you r making me resort too.) LOL

 

Just like I said ^_^ In Finland that bastard is going to cost like 600e, I'm sure of it. Well I have to sell my car then

 

Actually, X360 is not gonna cost nearly as much as PS3. They're aiming for a consumer friendly price. So probably around 300$ US.

 

BTW, what do you think about the size of PS3. That mammoth beast is got to be the ugliest console yet.

 

i wouldnt say it's the ugliest.but i'm not too impress with it.
i was hoping it to be as good as the slim ps2. i actually think it looks better than xbox 360, that just looks like an old car steoreo to me. Revolution's design is nice, simple, and rather sexy

 

believe it or not. . .they may be coming out with 2 different editions. . .on of those editions has so much more options on it on the site i saw it they called it the "all home edition" and it would range around 750 and then the normal one that would be around 500. . .seriously, if they try to make this thing too perfect and good and dreamlike to where it jacks it up hundreds of dollars, there not gonna make a cent off of it.

 

Actually There is going to be two Versions of the PS3. One will be the launch one and the other one will come roughly about 1-2 months after. The second is much better and the price range what I have see in the 1st=399-499 2nd=599-699. I would get the Second if you want to do more stuff.

 

I hope games stay around the norm 50 US bucks that the PS2 games are, cause even those were a little pricey on my budget lol

 

I don't care how ugly my console is, I just want good games.

 

I want realistic boobs in games that come in different sizes. The Ps3 can deliver that and more. Like bouncy-ness and 3-d shading.

 

That's exactly what I mean

 

just read this on a decent website, note they are not my words but someone elses

That's the reason why I imported psp, got it sooner and cheaper.
