how much are you willing to spend for a ps3?

Im waiting till it hits the $299 sweet spot. Im not really interested in it for the games, but it is the best blu ray player available, plus it has awesome media functions. Not to mention, online play is free. Currently I game on my xbox, but when I get a ps3, ill probably buy all my multiplats for it instead to save the 50$.

I bought it at release. So I guess over $600.

I bought it for €400 and was worth every cent

$250.

$300 + tax and not a red cent more.

I only spent a 150 on mine. My Gamestop had a deal get 125 dollars for a PS2 and 2 controllers and an extra 25 dollars if you traded in 3 PS2 games back in 07. It was a used 20gig for 300 somolians

I paid 380 for my 40GB with 2 games

The PS3 need a price point that can match the 360 Arcade and the Wii, so somewhere around $200+ would be nice for people who haven't got one yet.

$700 Canadian, which is what I got it for at launch

$400, and no higher either. I was going to pay $500, but screw that.

I payed around $900 for my 80GB. I got a bluetooth headset, a wi-fi router, 1 extra controller with 1 extra charger, a 2 year warranty, and 2 games. Nonstop-Madness

hehe looks like you win :D

I remember buying one at launch and selling it for $1000 on Ebay.

I have to admit. This is where I lol'd.

I work hard, I could afford it, so i'll buy it. If people like you can't afford it, then that is not my problem.

The money I earn goes on products.

[QUOTE="RotaryRX7"][QUOTE="Biotic2099"] if the next gen consoles launch at similar prices, its people like you that are to blame. killerfist

$400, not counting the HDTV I bought just for it.

it gets annoying when people keep repeating $2000, 10000$$ or whatever without knowing what they're talking about. You can get an excellent pc for around $800 canadian minus the monitor. People who spend 2000$ usually get SLI video cards, best of the top of the line cpu's, the best mobo's etc. They're usually enthusiasts. In the end the amount of money spent is still worth the parts they bought but isn't necessary to game at max settings. So you don't need to quote a 2000$$ price tag that only a fraction of pc gamers spend on their systems. The majority would spend under 1000

If it doesn't get a price cut this year, I'll just go ahead and fork out the cash for one. I'm just waiting to see if I can get it for a better deal, or if it gets a sweet bundle.

Europeans should have it easy seeing as how weak the pound is. They can save around €82 if they buy one in the UK. That applies to the Europeans outside the UK, though, not the ones inside.

exactly. The eletists will ruin it for the lower class/budget oriented gamers. Biotic2099

If you're poor you're in the wrong hobby.

Gaming is expensive and those that lack adequate funds can't expect to keep up.

There's nothing wrong with him paying $600 for a console. He shouldn't sacrifice his hobby and wait for a price drop for the off-the-wall chance Sony will release their next console at a cheaper price. All for people who are in the wrong hobby.

So yeah... no. The "elitist" here is the one telling others what they can and can't spend their money on.

whats funny is those that think xbox360 is a better value because no matter what system you buy you still need accessories and for those that dont have wired connections they have to spend 100-150$ for network adapter on the xbox360 which is included in the 80gb ps3 and how bout the hard drives what a rip off on the 360 ps3 u can use a laptop hard drive for the ps3 if you want to upgrade

if you buy a arcade xbx360 that comes with nothing by the time you add accessories you prob pay more than the 80gb ps3

so depending on what you need or want with your system its possible you spend the same for both systems lol

example is xbox360 u need live account extra 50$ ps3 you might need a blue tooth device extra 20-60$ so both systems are expensive if you want a good gaming experience

so how much will you pay for your xbox360 or ps3?

I bought it online when it first came out, so including shipping, handling and taxes around 800 Canadian dollars, which is roughly $680 American. Worth every penny imo.
