I games for ps2 already cost more than 50€ sometimes, I'm sure that some will achieve the 100€! I'm starting to think that I'm gonna start playing games at the computer :(
Shenanigans
Ok,now it's official.They completely lost their minds!!
Seeing as how prices here in Europe are even more than in US (a game here costs 50-60 euros which is like 70-80 USD) i can guarantee that the sales here will be a disaster.
I'm curious to see how this goes...
...all I can say is WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! That's so funny :moose:
What, so now we're not getting giant enemy crabs?
Not a good idea for Sony. Triple digits are very scary. Jack up the price of the system by 60$ and down the price of games by at least 20$. That will make things much more reasonable. I'm surprised how cheap games are now. Mind you I only buy second hand, or I wait long enough that it's dirt cheap.
If this ends up true, I guess I won't be playing MGS4 untill 2010.
I sincerely doubt this is true, but if it is, I want to know who hit the entire company leadership of Sony about the head really hard.
Hmmm, maybe you lot should wait for an official announcment from Sony. Oh wait, you all want Sony to fail, guess Im wasting my time here :rolleyes2

I'll admit flat out that Sony has basically shot themselves in the collective foot, on this one. Ken Kutaragi isn't making things any better with all the overhyping and the "If the games reach $100, don't blame me." routine.
I'm not looking to see Sony fail, but the signs just don't look good.
Actually, $600/£425 is fair for what your getting.Quote:

Im still against the fact that were having to buy all the extras that we may not use. If it was all additional, then I think Sony would have alot more people in its favour. Maybe they thought having an identical console with graphical tweaks wasnt going to win consumers.
