Learn to spell "shouldn't".

Perhaps you should play more Brain Age and stop training to become a criminal with Halo.

can you give me one good reason why we shouldn't contact your ISP?



ROFL.

And to answer the TC's questoin, people are complaining about the $600 PS3 price because $600 is a lot of money to pay for a system with one game worth purchasing.

The reason people complain is because most people intend to use it primarily for playing games, not Blu-ray. And if you were to compare the PS3 games side-by-side to the 360, the PS3 would lose.-The-G-Man-

Nope, I have no intention of using it to train to become a criminal.

And here I was thinking the "school-shooting simulator" (GTAIV) was coming to PS3, too.

Do you want a cookie or something for your BD movie collection? I have just as many HD DVD's, but you don't see me posting pictures of them.

Plus you don't have NIN: Beside You in Time. It is a must for anyone who has Blu-ray or HD DVD.

Well, I guess a $500-plus price tag doesn't seem so bad compared to 700 large. Yipes. The difference between Panasonic and Sony is immense, though. Panasonic had how many consoles before the 3D0? Sony has had two highly successful consoles. I don't think their third is going in the crapper just yet. This bad boy has many GOOD years left on it.

Peace.

TheGrossPervert

The funny thing is that the 3D0 was introduced a full 2 years (in NA) BEFORE Sony even got into the console market, and it's not like Panasonic was an unknown brand at the time. Way back then, it was the most technologically advanced console, but was marketed more as a high-end multimedia device for the living room, which was how they thought they could justify the cost. To me, that just sounds eerily familiar.

As for the PS3, it does have the Playstation legacy which will ensure that the console will still sell, but the high cost of ownership isn't helping. History has show time and time again that no matter the features, video game consoles don't sell well when priced over $300. Note I didn't say they don't sell. Every console this generation is selling, but only the Wii is sellingnear the levels of the PS2 during the height of its popularity, which didn't occur until its price was dropped to $199.

wifi...to get ur 360 wirless online is another hundred bucks. So what you only want to play games theres no denying the ps3 is a good all around machine and it worth the price if u add all these things in their. The extra 200 bucks is worth it if you ask me. I only paid 450 for mine though ( thank u craigslist ). Honestly up until i had a ps3 of my own i always thought the vprice as unjustified and that it was just a hype machine.

when people make these threads i dont think they think about it they always say the same thing the price is justified. Yes we know that nobody is saying that the ps3 isnt worth 600 dollars but thats still alot of money and most people just want to use it for games

If you love movies and have a good HDTV then its an outright bargain. If you just wanna play games then its a COSMIC waste of money considering the alternative.

I bought a PS3 this week, with a controller and two games, which were used, and I paid 965 dollars. Thats alot of money. I'm not dissing the system, I just think for the amount it doesn't offer what it should. "Hey we're taking on MS in online, but you're not getting a headset. Hey, we have a sweet blu ray player built in, but you don't get a remote. Hey we're all about high definion, what with the blu ray and all, but still no high definiton cables for you". And all that comes with 360 bundle. But whatever, I like it, I just can't justify the price. But I'm still glad I bought it.
