How is the PS3 too expensive? (Updated)

I mean most Blu-Ray players are $200+ so if you have an HDTV and no BD-Rom PS3 is the obvious choice? Unless your an online game nut, then I'd go with 360, or just use my computer.

Don't tell me blah blah blah games. Thats opinionated and you pick to your preference, neither has better exclusives overall, just some are more fun to others. I'm just stating that if you have HD, and want Blu-Ray (Which does make a difference), its like your buying a $200 Blu-Ray player and a $200 Game Console, which 360 is starting at tha anyway. Of course if you don't want Blu-Ray, no one is holding a gun to your head. But I'd say the PS3 is Justly priced, all depends on what you want.

Update: Look, not many of you understand what my point was, save a few of you. I'm saying people act like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 are the same thing, whereas we can all agree PS3 has more features (Whether or not you want/would use them). I have an HDTV, and having a PS3 makes things all the nicer with the Blu-Ray, and all PS3 games being scratch proof. Not to mention Wi-Fi in a house with wireless internet already. You get wjhat you pay for is what some Xbox owners say when comparing PSN and XBL, and I only applied the same here. And as for the PS3 not being "Hardcore", It does everything Xbox 360 does save some of the online features, but then again according to some, people don't want to pay for that extra crap. You can't use one argument for one thing, but when its turned around on you dismiss it. People need to understand yes you pay more for the Playstation 3, but if that stuff will only enhance your expierence I highly reccommed dishing out some more cash for it.

People are cheap, simple as that...and marketing it doesn't have enough

Look at the wii its 250, more expensive than the cheapest xbox....and its games really arn't that great especially when you look at the best sellers list they are all games like wii fit and fitness coach but it still sells like hotcakes because Its targeted to everyone even overweigh old women

Because the market said so. Hence why it is currently in 3rd place.

Using Blu-Ray to defend the PS3's price kinda shows why you don't even get the argument that you are trying to refute.SpruceCaboose

You answered your own question tc, you said "if you own a hdtv and want bluray". The majority of people still don't have one, so naturally they don't care about bluray right now. With the state of the global economy in a recession people are cutting out luxury items like that these days.

Bluray is more of a casual item as well, not appealing as much to the "hardcore" gamers and the "casual" gamers don't want to spend that much money to play the games they wanna play so the $199 360 and $250 Wii are much more appealing to them. Sony just chose the wrong path at the wrong time this generation. That's just how it is.

The Ps3 cost more and has more stuff (features)

Th 360 costs less but can't do as much as a multimedia device as the Ps3.

Seems fair.

Every time I say something negative PS3 its ignored.

When I say something positive PS3 i'm immediately a cow.

Well screw that PS3 is #1, sales don't matter, AAAE, best game lineup EVER for 2009, and the Heavy Rain

People are cheap, and credit isn't as readily available as it once was. I was able to qualify for Circuit City's credit card and used the 18 months with no interest deal (as long as I make timely monthly payments and pay it off within 18 months) on purchases over $999 to get my PS3. After I applied, I received a phone call later that day where they asked me a few security questions to verify my identity. Then they told me I was qualified and could start using the card right away even though the card wouldn't arrive until later in the mail. I had to talk to customer service at the Circuit City store and answer a few more security questions before I could use it, but I also saw a LOT of people applying for the card in-store and being told they were unfortunately rejected.

My minimum payments are somewhere around $20-25 per month, but I've been making payments of $60 per month to get it paid off on time. I'll probably drop a few $100 payments here and there too.

Oh and the obvious point is that it's easier to absorb $60 payments per month than it is to drop $400+ in one month these days.lolfaqs

Exactly. I'm getting my PS3 day after tomorrow and I won't have any games for it - but I will have a hundred or so sweet demos to check out.
