it would make it more affordable for more people to buy. thats why im waiting to buy one. OK, if not 500, how about 550 for a PS3?

I think 550 is a safe bet, but hopefully 500.

No it f***in doesnt

 

its just 50$... not even a game's worth....

 

Dont forget your not out of the woods yet when just buying the PS3, if you want the full expirience you need to get the HDMI cable...good one for 100 bucks. Then you would need to get a warranty that prtects against accidental drops and stuff like that for like at least 2 years or something, that at least like 100, or 150 should i say. Then oh no dont forget the actual games buddy, 60 bucks a piece isnt that nice, and if you want some decent ones. Get Fight Night Round 3, Resistance, Oblivion(f***in must buy if you own a PS3) and Spider man 3(well im really hoping this will be a good game). So there you f*&^ing go, another 180 bucks on games (not counting spider man 3). OK not lets add it up.. PS3 lets say it was the 550 price drop.. so 550 for PS3, 100 for HDMI, 150 for a good warranty, 180 for the games. 980 f*$&ing bucks for a PS3 to be played they way it supposed to be. Oh wait how can forget, TAX.... here in NY its like somewhere like .8% , so thats like almost 70 something bucks, add that over a f*$&ing 1000 bucks.

 

Keep in mind this is all considering you have HDTV (better pray you at least got a 1080i for the love of mike...)

 

So belive me when i say 50 f*&$in bucks price drop aint that beneficial if you ask me.

I would actually be happy if it stays the same just so the whiners can whine harder...

 

So you got me all wrong but though one thing got me mad.

 

You buy the most peice of expensive piece of gaming hardware out in the market and Sony cant include a dam HDMI cable of any f**$&ing sort in the least to support the HD gen of gaming and viewing.

 """"TO BTC138""""

 

 

I dont mind much it wasnt included becuase i already had one and its real great and all, but you just wonder ya know?

 

Anyway.. I dont mind spending all this money on something like a PS3 expieirnce investment, I truly belive its only gonna get better, once the devs see the open possibilties and capacity for the new blu ray format, that is when the PS3 will be something truely great. Just seeing a game like Crysis and that being possible on the PS3 just makes me so happy. And why not? people that do great things deserve recognition and support.

 

And about my investment, its not like I went broke or took a plundge in life because i did. People need to be smart in investments and saving money and such, but whats the point of gathering money for so long when you rarely make any inveestments that wont bring some sort of relief but instead just more and more sturggle of trying to earn more money without wasting it because of some fear or paranoia or some bulls**$& some people got. Live a little people, who knows how long your gonna be alive. But definatley you wont go broke if you invest in something like this, I know because your reading this post.

I am tired of people whining about the price of the PS3 too.  Especially when Sony is lossing $200 on each PS3 sold.  But with that being said, a price drop would be more of a mental thing than a financial thing when it comes to customers buying the PS3. Also you don't need a HDMI cable to enjoy the PS3 especially not a $100 one.  You could get the official PS3 HDMI cable for only $59.99.

Or you could get a perfectly good generic HDMI cable for under 20 bucks online. A cable is a cable, and you won't see any difference in quality between a $200 or a $20 cable.

And not only that I bought a cheap $7.00 hdmi cable and it is exactly the same quality picture as a 50 dollar sony one. So that REALLY blows the "100 dollar" statement out of the water.

Ya take in consideration that I said that If you want the full expieirience.

 

Oh and the whole mental thing ya, I agree this is America and I must say after travling and living in a few parts of the world I can say bussniess here is so thriving because there are million of people with the IQ of a roadkill turd, that you can sell the most unpractical peice of info, items,and sh*$& on the face of the planet. 

 

Infomercials can back me up on that one.

Sorry guys but all cables are not created equal.  If you get a $20 cable and it works for you that is great, but people don't realize how much technology goes into making a cable.  I got the cheap $15 component cables and lines kept running thru my TV but I replaced those with the sony component cable and all lines went away.  Some cable are more susceptible to interference, which is usually the cheapest ones.

Well you just totally contridicted yourself...

 

But im glad you know that now. People always think they're wasting money on something that costs more but supposedly does the same thing...

 

LOL yah right, never will that happen without strigs attached which is a contridictary sentence on its own thus proving my point.

 

$100 HDMI is not the same a $20 HDMI 

 

Do some research plz

I tried and I couldn't find any data suggesting that there is a gradation in quality of HDMI cables based on price. Could you provide me with a link?Â
