PS3 - still labeled as expensive

I'm just wondering why people are still claiming that the PS3 is too expensive. I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything(even though I know some nerd is going to pop in here sooner or later) But why are so many people still claiming this when it is the ssame price as the 360 when it came out and only $50 more for the 80gig than the elite?

Or is it just fanboy nonesense just like the "it has no games" tag?

Thoughts?

It's just an excuse from "The Dark Ones" to not get a PS3.

Yeah that is my point WAS. I guess it is kind of pointless trying to understand stupid comments from ignorant people.

Thats just people see it as expensive when thinking of it as a games console.

Put it as a Blu-ray player with built in playstation 3 games player and its cheap :D

It's still $499 for the version you should get. Its like me saying OH THE 360 IS CHEAP, ITS ONLY $279!!! Yea, for the crappy core version which can't play original xbox games, etc.

The price for the real model is $499. That's alot of money for a console that , sorry to say, doesn't have a killer lineup. The 360 has the vast majority of killer titles so far. Yes, the PS3 also gets alot of games now that the 360 has...but usually sub par. Orange Box, Assasins Creed, COD4. The 360 has been given the better version of them 'so far'. NOW, after seeing the facts ( no i'm not starting a console war here) the 360 is delivering better performance, online community, and more titles for $150 less. In that aspect, yes $499 is expensive. I might get a PS3 someday, but it has yet to prove itself a 'worth while investment'.

So what do I do if I don't like the 360 exclusives or astronomical failure rate?

If folks are still complaining about price, than they have a some sort of bias towards the PS3. With everything built into PS3 and no need for additional accessories, it is a bargain. Folks have to get over the issue of available titles360. Sony has decent exclusive games and great 3rd party games to keep any PS3 owner busy. gah_mak

i know plenty of ppl complaining about the price but they are complaining because they really want one but can't afford it.

Have no clue what you're talking about, what exclusive games? Just because they are exclusive doesn't mean they are good. I'm a ps3 owner and im not busy at all, the only reason i turn my ps3 on is to play dvds. I mean other than halo 3 360 has no games either...and 360 has a year on ps3...but thats still no reason say ps3 is not as bad.

So you bought a PS3 to play DVDs? You deserve to have your money taken from you.

The only money related reason currently that I don't want to get one (and eventually I will, believe me) is because of the internal blu-ray player.I'm just having a hard time paying the extra money for a blu-ray player that I cant even use.Its not that its too expensive, its just that a blu-ray player is a waste of money for me and I just wish Sony would release a model that didn't have one.

And off topic, I wouldn't call "it has no games" a fanboy excuse, obviously it has games, but I really don't see anything currently that makes me want to own a PS3. FF13 and MGS are two reasons that I will get one though.

well you are one of the few that should get the PS3 right now for its line-up, rather than the 360. but as the NPDs show, the 360 games are selling very well, while PS3 games are not.

I'm not so sure that the majority of gaming enthusiasts still feel it's expensive.

The segment of the market that wouldn't pay $350-$400 for a console aren't going to get a PS3 or a 360; they'll either get a Wii or a PS2.

I think Sony's doing the right thing in advertising the new price to "get the word out". I saw PS3 commercials all weekend long advertising the $399 price point. This is a monumental drop from the days of $599, and this combined with a solid lineup will turn it around.

Go outside and play, cause you obviously don't like gaming.

And the 360 failure has apparently been taken care of. They do back it up with a 3 year warranty now, so I couldn't care less.

If the PS3 offered some games that justify a $500 purchase, I'd be right out there to nab one. But so far, I haven't seen anything I can't live without. I'd like Gran Tourismo....but Forza keeps me just as entertained. I'd like to play Heavenly Sword...but for how short it is, I'm not gonna waste my money. You see what I'm getting at? To buy the console, and a game, with tax is just shy of $600. Thats alot for a few games.

To ME, its just not worth it. And I'm sure I'm not the only one looking at it from the point of view. Yea, your PS3 is a blue-ray player. Who cares, both formats are going to lose in the near future. It has built in wireless! woohoo, don't care. Hard wired is still the best option...don't kid yourself saying otherwise. It has a bigger hard drive and thats the only thing I like about it so far. I buy my consoles to play games.

Expensive!? Well if you're a caual gamer and think its expensive go and play Super Mario on the WII hahahah that makes me laugh.

AnywayFOR WHAT THE PS3 OFFERS AND GIVES YOU IT IS DIRT CHEAP!

I want a PS3, but I do not want to play more than 3 of the current titles. To say the least, PS3 may have a nice assortment of games to play currently, but it is by no means in comparison to the current Xbox 360's lineup. Once MGS4 comes out, that would be a different story, and i'd probably buy 2 to 3 PS3's and play them all at the same time I scream to myself that the 1.5k entry point to play the game simutaniously on 3 screens was completely worth it.

But right now, I wouldn't pay 300 for the system.

i see where the general public is coming from in the point that its to expensive but thats only because few of them are interested in all the capabilitys. not every wants or needs wireless, 1080p, bluray etc... some people just want a gaming machine. theyre the ones who went and bought a wii. for the rest of us we dont mind paying a good sum of money for performance, reliability and functionality. the fanboy part of me also has to point out that for a 360 to do the same thing a ps3 does, the add-ons cost MORE than a ps3 with the same capability. on the other hand im gonna have to break down and buy a 360 within the next year. to many games coming to it that i dont want to miss...

Unless you earn 50 bucks an hour then you can say it isn't expensive... Really how can a kid get 400-500$ and about 100$ more to play games? I'm getting a PS3 but i'm not paying for it myself because even if i can get the money to buy the console(which i do) how am i going to get more money to buy games? specially if you want more games for the other consoles you have(wii/ds)?nintendog66

To be brutally honest, I don't think the 360 or the PS3 are meant for kids. Just look at the ratings for the games. Taking a wild guess, I bet 75% of the good games on the consoles are rated either teen or mature. And the average adult isn't even aware of all the capabilities of these consoles, you think younger kids are?

of course the titles are rated as such. if not than their audience is severely diminished. im not saying i wouldnt want an AO game but the few that have been don or tryed to be done (manhunt 2) have gotten screwed by the esrb. i dont want a game to be AO just for AOs sake but because its a validy good game meant specifically for adults.... but thats neither here nor there in relation to the topic....

It's still $499 for the version you should get. Its like me saying OH THE 360 IS CHEAP, ITS ONLY $279!!! Yea, for the crappy core version which can't play original xbox games, etc.

No, you can say that the 360 is "only" $279. That's fair to say. If you want all the bells and whistles, then you should pay for them, but if you want a 360 for the best price, then it's $279. That said, it's also fair to say that the PS3 is $399. That's like saying you shouldnt buy an HDTV unless youbuy the biggest one of each brand. Or saying that you dont own a 360 if you bought the core, because you didnt get thebestversion.

yeah my money was taken from me. i wish i waited till next year. just because i have a ps3 doesnt mean its a good idea to waste $60 on a ps3 game if it sucks. i bought a ps3 to play games because i thought by now there would be some good ones, but the ones that came out have not lived up to the hype or been pushed back. yeah so i would rather not waste anymore money and just wait for mgs4 or dmc, that does not make anyone deserve to have money taken away from them.

Hard wired internet doesnt make for better gaming!!! I play Warhawk, COD4 and Resistance online all the time with no lag. Hard wired is just an inconvenient mess to run all the way from one side of the house to the other... whereas I can just stick my PS3 or Wii (this sounds dirty) anywhere and get an internet connection. The fact the 360 doesnt have wireless, let alone the "not so elite" Elite package is a joke. It's a joke, pure and simple. They didnt do it cause hardwire is the best option, (which by the way, my PS3 has too) they did it to save money.Dont come into a PS3 forum and bash the PS3, cause you know where it's going to lead to. Take it to system wars man. I swear.

The kid age range i meant was around 12 to 17 years old. And you can't forget the fact that most online FPS have a lot of kids(age range 8-12) yelling at the mic... most of these games being M or T.

IMO, Ps3 is worth every penny but it's too bad many people can't enjoy it's awesomeness because of the price...

and for all 360 fans(boys), here's a comparison in prices:

- Ps3 console $400: built-in wifi, high definiton disk drive, free online. = 400$

- Xbox360 $270: wifi adapter + 100$, Hd-DVD add-on + 200$, Xbox live subscription + 50$ annual = 620$!!!

The Ps3? Expensive?

What a Joke, for allthe good games it has plus blu ray and free online.

No, I do see what your talking about. I know you weren't just flaming me there. Thing is, 360 was out first and I adapted to that. There is always going to be games on one or the other, no doubting that. But so far IMO Sony took a crap on their customers. They promised lots, failed to deliver. They kept screwing up getting it out the door and delay after dealy was delt. THEN they released an unfinished product. The PS3 is not a bad machine, it was rolled out stupid. Sony threw too much into it and made it wrong in many ways. The cell, way overkill for what it is. All it does is deliver a burden to programmers. Is it power, yes..BUT its too complicated. Forcing Blue-Ray was another stupid move. I doubt its going to live...not with todays storage technology. And, the fact that everything will be 'on demand' over a network soon....both formats are doomed. All the PS3 is is an overhyped complicated protein folder that pushes their blue ray numbers. Its their leverage to finally TRY to win a format war. Who loses in the end? The consumer. Sony lies to its consumers to boost sales and stock.

Where are all the games? Don't kid yourself people....the games are NOT there for it. Why fight the argument for Sony saying their sub-par product is the best? Why help boost the sales if they don't deliver your needs? If it sells like crap maybe they will learn a lesson and do the PS4 the correct way. In the long run you win.

If sony can clean up their act and deliver what they promise...I will purchase a PS3 by the end of 2008. I want a game console, not an overpriced beta max.

When the price was announced i thought it was really expensive until some one broke the price down by saying that its like paying 300$ and 300 for the system.After hearing that argument i was fine with it.I wish that I could of got 5 free blu rays instead of one though.

No - people are enjoying their gaming experince on the PS3. The 360 is the one consumers should have stayed away from, a faulty product that took MS almost two years to fess up to, making consumers pay $179 before they finally gave them their money back. If I say I like my PS3 better than my 360 (which has died on me twice, which is why I ultimately stopped buying for the 360) then I mean it. I'm not saying it FOR Sony. I'm saying it because I mean it.

I'm not going to reply back to anything, because I hate system wars or whatever, but I cant stand someone acting like I've been tricked by some big name company because I enjoy their product.

my hdtv cost me 2500 dollars last year now i saved for a yeat for most of it. now if i save again i can essily buy a ps3.

"Quote above"

To each their own. Like I said, if they can deliver this year I will be buying one. But they need more titles, and titles than can justify the large expense. I guess if you don't already own a console its easier to justify.

I wouldn't say that the PS3 is expensive at all. If you consider that a normal Blu Ray player costs around £300 (same as a 40gb PS3). Also it already has wireless i-net connection in it.

The 360 on the other hand costs around £250 without HD DVD drive which costs £100 (already £350 total). Then if u need the wifi adapter u have to pay another £50 and £40(a year!!!)for Xbox live(£440 in total)

After all I don't think the PS3 is expensive at all compared to the 360.

The price of consoles doesn't bother me. But the price of games are ridiculous. Just think about it for a second:

Charge $60>less sales>profit

Charge $30>way more sales>same amount of profit

Why do games cost so much when devs can be making the same amount of money charging less for their games? Answer me this and you officially win the internet.
