So make up your minds people, either its expensive for your gaming needs or not.

It boggles my mind to see Modern Warfare 2's prestige edition on the Amazon bestsellers then in the next moment I see people crying out load about the price of the PS3.

WTF? do you want a price cut or not? if you want then don't buy the MW2 prestige edition because Sony gonna keep that price up if they continue watching people are buying some crappy **** that almost costs as much as a new console/handheld.

Again, let me put it in another perspective, is a $400 price tag alot or not?

I mean you get something useful with that kind of money for getting a PS3, something that plays DVDs, Divx, Bluray which is so great and on top of that it plays current gen games like MW2 :o there is a browser and Wi-Fi too, thats a great value compared to MW2 Prestige edition.

People just confuse the hell out of me sometimes :?

Next people are going to pretend features like Wifi are useless unnecessary features for gaming.

Prestige edition is overpriced. Don't know why people want it.

Imo a $400 price tag is alot, I just dont think the PS3 is worth that price tag... although technically its actually worth more than what its selling for.

People complain about the price usually because they don't have one and are jealous of people who do. Thats my guess. I think the PS3 is overpriced, but I also wouldn't buy a MW2 special edition copy, thats just the way I am.

I won't argue that fact, but I will say that I have my PS3 using my Wifi and I have never had a shoddy connection, so it can't be a complete bust... my 360 is straight connection and I've never really experienced much of a change up in my gaming... But I am in an area that has fiber-optics and I have a good bandwidth so I'm sure people that aren't as geographically lucky might see a bigger gap

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] I hate Wifi...so for me yes it is unnecessary. I prefer having my systems connected to an ethernet port. Laptops sure. that I want Wifi for. My game systems I like the ethernet cable better. Direct connection. jg4xchamp

Plus it's faster.

I have my PS3 wirelessly connected and its fine, I think if the PS3 connectivity with the router is 80-100% its going to be fine, less than 80% forget it, but sometimes you have no choice but to connect wirelessly.

I'm not saying that the features are useful or even better for everyone.　For me, wifi is the best choice. And if you're looking for the extra features the PS3 provides, it really does have a great value. Expensive, but great in value. I still use my PS2 as a DVD player from time to time.

Um you use wifi for gaming? Wifi for gaming is uneccesary. Hard connection is so much better and faster.

What has MW2PE to do with the PS3?

It was worth it at $600.

And wow - $150 for some special edition? That's a ridiculous price, especially coming from the publisher that says the PS3 costs too much.

Has anyone on this board ever heard of the term "Value to the consumer"???

I mean it boggles MY mind that people don't know what value actually is.

Unecessary for some situations, not for others. I can't really wire a PS3 to the internet in this house. It's not practical. So for me the wifi is necessary because I can't wire it directly.

You're right, it was worth $800 but sold for $600.

I agree, its like gaming is a luxury its not meant to be affordable for everyone. If you don't think its worth it then don't buy it its not like you have to. And if anyone says that the PS3 or any console is expensive but decides to spend 150 on a single game!? Is not someone I'd take serious in regards to something not being worth it or not.

Clicking on the 2nd page brings me to the 1st page ...

I made this decision a long time ago. That's why I don't own any of the current generation consoles, they are just too damn expensive.johndoh4

My only assumption then is that you are a PC gamer, which no offense, but that's like the most expensive route... Not saying it's not worth it but I would have to guess if you play games on a consistent basis you upgrade your system regularly... which is way more expensive then any console... If i'm way off the mark on my assumption then I'm sorry for being stupid

I think CE's are a waste of money

For what you get the PS3 is not expensive yet is at the same time, makes it suck for someone like myself whom has been on the fence because of this pickle for a long time.

It's funny how so many can say "go hard wired.. it's better for gaming". So everyone has a router right next to their ps3 nor do they have/want to use a 100 ft cable going in and out of every room. BTW I use wifi and depending on what I'm downloading on my pc I can get download speeds at 1 mb/s and a few times I've hit 1500 kb/s and I'm only using wireless g. I average downlaod speeds at 500 kb/s though. With my ps3 the online is a tad bit slower then my pc, but I get 0 lag in games and this is with a 75% connection rate.

Please indulge me with a crazy, wacky, off the wall thought here but maybe it's different people!!!!!!!:roll:

those amazon guys must have had an extra $100 laying around because they bought a 360...
