80GB PS3 including the retail Warhawk (w/ headset) all in one box for $449. Have that kick in at the end of September and for the holidays drop it to $399, I believe that would destroy the competition. What do you think?

I don't think 449 would be too harsh on sony, but I believe Warhawk included with the PS3 would be the ultimate package because then you would have a free headset for online gaming. That would be good for competition.

That would hurt Sony I don't think that it'd hurt them as much as people think because I remember hearing a while ago that the PS3 actually dropped in production cost and Sony wasn't losing THAT much on the system. But bundling the headset + the game and the system is killer if anything Sony should just do what the rumours are stating PS2 for $99, 80GB for 499 and 40GB for 399 that would destroy the competition especially with all the great games coming out.

I think you're right that Sony should have bundled Warhawk in with the system instead of Motorstorm. More people would have headsets.

Sony would take a huge financial hit for selling such a big package for such a low price. It's just unreasonable.

honestly, if Sony really wanted to make some money back, although they should hold off on it until they have a bit larger install base, is charge for PSN, possibly only $20-$30 USD yearly considering that's what it should be worth compared to XBL. Although pissing off all of the users, it would be far more profitable and plus more money could be used to actually making the PSN a more worthwhile service, perhaps actually putting it on par with XBL, which IMO completly blows the PSN out of the water, regardless of Home or not. Home to me is just tacky, instead of focusing on making an online SIMS like community, it should focus on making better use of the PSN button and having full community chat.

sorry meant to say yearly not monthly

warhawk is such a good game! but it wouldn't appeal to everyone.. even the fact that you have to have an internet connection and be signed in just to load up the start screen would turn some people off...

$20-$30 monthly???? Are you mad?!? You do know XBL is only $50 a year. No Sony should never charge for PSN, if they did that then they would lose all loyalty.

yeah, it would really put a dent in the competition, but seriously the losses would kill sony at least this holiday season. Next year, if they did something like that with costs much lower and some of the best titles coming out, i think sony would have an excellent shot at a competitive massacre, but we'll see.

First off, don't advertise. We don't like that. Second, thats Canadian dollars. Thirdly, Being that its canadian, means we (americans) would have to pay extra to send it thru customs.
