PS3 for 600 bucks?

[crazybayman]

I'll wait. I could muster up $600, but I've got better things to spend it on.

When the price goes down, I'll get it, and make it my entertainment centre. Until then, they'd be nuts to think I'll spend $600 on a video game console. God.

I dont know if anyones mentione dthis yet but the 60gb isnt the only upgrade from the 20gb ps3. The 60gb will have alot more media functions and will have extras such as a built in ethernet for online gaming and will also function wifi so that your psp can be connected, download FFVII and play it on your psp anyone?

I will buy one when the price hits $250. Anything more is too expensive and that time should also give them the time to work out most of their design flaws.

Both versions will have ethernet connectivity, the cheapest just won't have wireless ethernet, and lacks a thing that only people with HD displays will miss.

Just a recap of what Yams said earlier: Just because a system has no HDMI connectors doesn't preclude HDTV resolutions. Standard component video connections do support HD resolutions up to 1080p.

[KentaRawr!]

Well, I doubt I'll be able to get it soon after it launches. T_T I'm going to be saving up for a while if I want this thing!

I think somebody needs to make a cheap console. That's what the game market needs. A cheap, non bleeding edge game machine that costs about $100 or less running games that cost less than $20. At the rate things are going, only the truely hardcore are going to be able to afford to play console games.

What about the nonhardcore who can't afford to drop $600 for a system and another $60 for each new game? How much playtime do you need to get out of a system that costs that much.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned (I'm going from memory, it's something along these lines): The $600 model will have ports for a memory stick, SD flash, and some other card. $500 supposedly will not. Can someone verify this for me? I think I read it on GameSpot. Or IGN.

In any case, I will NOT be shelling out that kind of money. In November, I will be in the third month of my first year of college, with around $17,000 in loans, for the first year alone. My PS2 will serve me just fine. If anything, I'll buy a Wii on release day because Nintendo has already said it will be less than $299.

If I get a job to pay for it myself I might. Though that money would probably be better used for a used car... Oh well, I got 3 years.

When you get out college will an extra $600 on top of the $68,000+ loans be that much harder to pay off?

You'll buy it in 2008-09???

If that is when it drops to that price point then yes. I can wait 2 or 3 years.

[Millia Billia]

I'll wait and catch up on getting around to all the PS2 games I haven't gotten around to while I'm waiting, thanks.

Oh who am I kidding? I'll be getting one as soon as FFXIII hits the shelves.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Yes, I am willing to pay that much. I'm working on getting the money (400 Canadian saved so far!).

[Dreddz]

I already have the money in my bank account, just a matter of waiting now :p
