    i dont think sony is going to be gay and release 2 types of systems like m$. it is a bad idea. thre will be one type of system going for 450-500 dollars, and no more. if it was more, people would not get it. i see a price at 499 or 449.

    Funny, before you said.. 900$, then 800$ then 700$

    But w.e you'll see. I dont see how you can say the ps3 will cost 300$ more because of a blueray reader.

    I just showed you that something as valuable as the blueray didnt increase the price on the 360 by 300$

    That would likely be because the 360 has no blu ray reader..

    I think the ps3 will have two versions but the only difference between them will be color.. one gray and one black

    I ment the video cards. The 360 video card (alone)is worth more than blueray. But it doesnt add another 300$.
    I think i've said that to many time.
    Now 360 is goin to come with a hdplayer, but you will see, price will increase a bit.

    you see, even if half of the stuff koko said is true, it wouldnt happen.

    A- ebay and consumer prices are NOT the prices that major comapnies that MAKE THEIR
    OWN stuff, (bluray, for instance)! take all of the listed prices, and divide by 2 or 3 & you
    have a real idea.

    B- Microsoft is losing $126(US, not canadian ppl) on 360's why wont sony also to lower
    prices???(http://www.joystiq.com/2005/12/28/xbox-360-costs-715-to-make)

    Espicially since bluray games would be nigh impossible to copy / make, at first (note:i do
    not do this, but it is relatively common), Sony will make more money than you think WHEN
    (not if) their successful launch.

    I have preordered a ps3 in DE where I live. no regrets


    I still say, though, that the ONLY reliable source doesnt exist yet. wait and stop
    consiprising about prices.

    i find it ironic, so i diecided to tell you. everyting for about a week has releated to everything else for me... its like a superpower :p

    An interesting article on pricing speculations of PS3:

    http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/11/commentary/game_over/column_gaming/index.htm

    I'm coming around to the idea that the PS3 will probably not cost $700, but at this point I will maintain that the premium PS3 will not cost less than $500.

    That was an interesting afterdawn article about Microsoft being open to bending to Blu-ray dominance and offering peripheral support for the xbox360.

    http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/7208.cfm

    Doesn't sound like Microsoft is a strong ally for the HD-DVD camp. I have a feeling HD-DVD vs Blu-ray will be clearly decided within a month after PS3 launch. The people who buy PS3s are the ones who own HD-TVs are the ones who are going to buy high-def movie disks. Sales for movies released in Blu-ray are going to just be several times greater than those released in HD-DVD. Sony learned its lesson in the Betamax vs VHS war (Sony got burned on its Betamax while JVC won with VHS)

    Sony ps3 is'nt comming in a premium package
    opeople will say they are copying xbox360
    just how xbox360 wasnt called the xbox2.
    Ps3 will probably sell for 400-500$.
    the blueray probably adding 100$ to the xbox360, which would make ps3's price. Nothing more

    betamax was better. it had a bit igher quality, was more compact, and was very durable. you could chuck one at a wall and almost know it woould survive.

    yes you can add a Hd drive and say that the xbox 360 is now the same price but at least you get the choice of weather you want to buy it or not just like the wireless adapter.
     
  14. KoOkOo67

    KoOkOo67 Guest

    Blueray is still better.
    And nope, 360 doesnt come with the HD drive, you'll have to buy it yourself.
    Yes, i mean seperetly.
    And not all games will be HD.
    So ps3 still has the advantage.

    yeah dude its an advantage well done ps3 they did well, but the way people are going on about it is like its making the ps3 twice as good as the xbox 360.

    KoOkOo67 Guest

    Lol
    Whome?
    They both will be practically the same. (ps3 with a *slight* edge over the 360)
     
  17. fazyninja

    fazyninja Guest

    yes i agree with that in most aspects except online play and games.

    I dont think we can comment on the online play yett.

    BTW, the HD acronym is becoming problematic. HD = high definition (TV), high density (DVD), hard drive. HDTV, HD-DVD, work well, but I don't think HD is enough for hard drive.
