Yeah bro we certainly aren't getting a good deal. For that price, you could buy a wii with a game or two AND a 360 with a game or two. Who in their right minds would spend that much on a console with so little to offer?pandorax1The wii is overpriced there too. Going for about $350 USD alone.

You people are being ripped out. Sony is trying to make up for all the money they have been losing with the PS3.
That's $1013 Us dollars from the site I checked. Damn, that's expensive, I can build a gaming pc with that.

Big difference between jacking the price up $100 USD (Wii) and over $400 (PS3). I'm sure you could blame an extra $100 on transportation costs or somthing along those lines and it would be at least half-believeable but $400? thats an insult to the consumer.[QUOTE="Blinblingthing"][QUOTE="xLegend24"]That's $1013 Us dollars from the site I checked.

I'm sure you could blame an extra $100 on transportation costs or somthing along those lines and it would be at least half-believeable but $400? thats an insult to the consumer. exactly there is now way 1/3 of the price is tax and shipping costs at direct excange rates it costs about $850usd which is a huge difference from $600[QUOTE="imprezawrx500"][QUOTE="Blinblingthing"][QUOTE="xLegend24"]That's $1013 Us dollars from the site I checked.

you can't get a ps3 for $1000 its $1200 here in nz and the bundle I was talking about is $1400 and I could take things like the gamepad, k/m and vista out since they aren't needed, you can get a k/m for $20 and xp can be had cheap now and you don't need a gamepad and 7900gs would outperform the ps3 in any game from now till ps4 comes out, my 7800gt can run every game maxed and a 7900gs is basicly the same with higher clock speeds and the recent driver update greatly impoved performance.[QUOTE="Blinblingthing"]One that outperforms a PS3?

and those are nzd which would make it a much better deal in americaSo it I think it is fair to say that NZ$1000 gaming pc > ps3?pandorax1if you find all the cheapest parts online, going to your local pc shop will cost more like $1200-$1500 for more power for a ful system but ps3 can't be had for $1000nzd
No, $1500 for a PS3 and some games is totally a good price because think of the quality you get, and a bluray player!Acemaster27blu ray player what do I need that for, sony playstations aren't of the best quality unlike the rest of sony's products which are many times more durable and reliable.

A gaming PC? That would be more like 2800$ atleast here in norway. if you can get a gaming rig for 1000$ over there your lucky compeard to us here in nur guys did ur math wrong the ps3 with 2 games and one controller is 1400nz or 1000 usd
in the us a ps3 with 2 games and one controller is 770ish meaning the price when up by 230 not 400 like alot of u are saying considering the the wii went up 100 dollars and the ps3 cost more then twice as much as a wii its its about right

It 1200$NZD here in Dunedin, i don't know anyone down here thats actually buying one, even the EB games here doesn't want them cause they know they won't sell them well compared to the x360 and the Wii which are normally sold out.ZenkusoYeah, The normal PS3 bundle here is $1200 (The gamesman and harvynorman.) I don't know anyone here that's buying one either. Well a few had planed on it, until they found out the price.
