    Really why?
    I don't know if bd or hd-dvd sucks because none have been released.I know bd is technically superior but not by much.Of coarse bd makes you pay for that little bit of superiority with higher prices like 25 bucks a disc.

    well you know that for instance lost season 1 for hddvd it would still be on multible disks where as bluray it would be 1 thus making bluray disks cheaper

    it would be great for them to annouce a 450/550 price tag, but they wouldn't change it this late. i could see that price after 6-10 months. i'm probably gunna get a ps3, keep it for some time, then return it a few months later when they change the processor die to 65nm.

    personally for the price,at the moment it is good for what you are getting,mainly because of blu-ray...but never the less a $100 price decrease would be more competetive

    yes it would but this is as good as a 1000 PC, i mean with linux on the hdd, we could do anything a pc could, unless they put some stuff in to prevent this.

    Welcome back mudearies!I think the price is perfect too.It's actually a bargain.

    Better.You couldn't get a pc for $1000 with anywhere close to this type of hardware.This going to smoke any sli rig!

    Apple could slap a $2000* price tag on it and nobody would complain. Appreciate and buy, bye.

    sony representative said so himself.

    ^^^ seems unlikely but if thats the case your friend is the biggest moron walking the planet. The xbox 360 is close to the ps3 in terms of power and im sure a computer meant solely for gaming with a $4,000 price tag is going to be a little better than a couple of consoles.This is the first time game console are even coming close to the power of cpus' and it will be short lived due to the fact that cpu's are upgradeable and get better much quicker than than consoles do.

    Thanx.

    In about two yrs you wont be able to tell the diff between pc and ps3 graphic. It's not just due to the hardware upgrades on pc programmers know pc better than anything else simple.
    But most people prefer consoles because once you buy it game will work on it for as long as they are made for it and usually you dont have to worry about diggin in your pocket agian

    thats funny. i could see a pc in the 2-3k range being what a ps3 is in comparison. but u also have to figure in the bluray drive and xdr which will be expensive. before i build my gaming rig, im waiting for intels new conroe which will overclock like a mofo beyond all reason, and for the geforece 8000 series.

    How long before will you be able to build a gaming rig that can match ps3 for only $600. :) there in is beauty of console M$ Sony and nintedo stand some of the cost for us. Really nice people they are

    Although I'm an AMD fan, I think a PC can be built for that much or maybe less right now that will overpower the consoles, of course using the famed Pentium D 805 overclocked to 4ghz, and u can get a cheap mobo for it, maybe only 1 gb of ddr2 ram, an econo case w/psu included, a 250 gig sata hdd, and a decent graphics card and a dvd burner to round it all off. I think it can happen, but the consoles are a great deal for what they cost, but never underestimate a PC :p

    pressed: I seriously doubt that.The gfx card in the ps3 is said to be around as powerful as the best pc gfx card on the market.Which alone would run you $500.

    The cell processor is like running 8 processors at the same time.The enemy ai could have a whole processor to it's self... etc..You can't get something like the cell yet and the closest thing will run you at least 800 bucks add in bluray,wifi,a gamepad, were talking major cash bro.

    ps2 games looked just as good as anything on the pc with the exception of high res textures.Ps2 had a 300mhz cpu with a 64 mb gfx card and very little ram.Try playing ratchet and clank on a pc with those specs.
