I am suprised. So far there are no " $600 is alot of money , you just don't understand" replies. Or "But my daddy won't buy it for me until it is cheaper" replies. Very impressive!GameCrazed85But my parents wont buy me one though, niether will my grandparents who think $30 is too much when they spend ~$70 on cigarrettes a week. My parents are good with money though, but i might be able to get a PS3 for my birthday. It just so happens to be in march too...
Now if we could just put a stop to the Slim version threads. :lol:emitsu97Plz make them stop. What dont they understand about the ps3 not becoming more compact than it already is. People arent always waiting for a slim xbox 360 or a slim computer. The hardware is big and bulky we know but it has to be to do all the things it does (or hopfully will do)
Hello,
First off a comment towards Pimperjones next to those things you listed the Apocalypse or a outbreak of Neohandia could appear!-A Illness were your hands fall off.
But in my opinion the Ps3 is a steal, for one the Blu-Ray drive [Computer RW drive] in my local Best Buy sells for 800$ and the BC for almost all Ps games, those makes up my mind alone! Well more on topic, I don't care about price-cuts Sony's already losing 120$ for every 60gig sold [Correct me if im wrong im almost to the dollar there I believe]. Mainly because of the alliance of Sony and Samsung might have been standard Blu-Ray drive prices if not and imagine a $1200 Ps3 people! [Samsung being the producer of Blu-ray drives]
[Over & Out I'm ready to pass out]
All those people waiting for pricecuts, it ain't worth it. 2 years is a long time, a lot can happen, snow mobile acccidents, meteor strikes, wild bull stampedes, your better off just getting it now. pimperjonesWho knows, the world could come to an end before you get to play a ps3!!! Buy now so you won't have to worry about tomorrow ;) /sarcasm I'm assuming most people who want a ps3 and the games coming out in 2007 and early 2008 will get a ps3 before a price cut. I don't think any gaming fans are that patient (unless they are broke ;))!
2009? No problem. I can wait.Kage1I admire your patience. I'm sure you can find someone with a ps3 who will let you play Tekken 6 before 2009 :D.
I waited for the PS2 to go done, I can wait for the PS3 as well besides I'm still waiting for some good games to come out for the PS3 (maybe I will get it sooner if I just get a job)
Why is this even such a big deal? If you are interested in the system, why would you wait for 2 years to buy one just because the price is gonna go down? I mean let's be realistic here, there is no way that the price is going to dramatically drop, it's not like today it's 600 bucks, and all of a sudden it drops down to 350 or something, your lucky if a price drop sees the price go down 50 or 100 dollars tops, and in todays gaming age, that is beyond insignificant.  That's a little more than 1 game, or a few months of gamefly.
  The other thing, is that how many times have we heard something concrete sounding from people as high up as the presidents of Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, or what have you, and they come out and tell us that this will or won't happen, and within days sometimes, the complete opposite becomes the reality, so I'm sorry, but I don't think we can put any real stock in something a low level rep says. Sales and the competition are going to be what dictates a price drop or not, and maybe hardware costs, and that stuff changes so often, that there is no way anyone from any company can firmly declare something 2 years off in the distance.Â
