    Default PS3 for 600 bucks?

    "And one more surprise ... the PS3 launch details. Two configs -- one with 20 gigs -- $499; One with 60 gigs -- $599."

    Are you guys willing to dish out that kind of cash? I don't know...

    It's seriously going to be that expensive?

    Well, it's cheaper than gas, I suppose.

    I'd like to say I won't, but I'll probably find myself spending cash I should be using for college on a 60GB model on launch day. I guess it'll really come down to what games are available at first. If there aren't 2 or 3 games I really want, I might way and hope for a price drop within a year.

    Wow, that seems almost suicidal. Oh well, I wasn't intending to get one for awhile anyway, I'll wait for the price to come down and the bugs to be worked out.

    As with Azar, it really depends on the games. Unless something incredibly uber comes along at release, I think I'll hold back and avoid the initial massive rush, as well as the inevitable bugs in the first batch.

    Would there be any reason to get the 60GB version. How much memory are they planning for these games to take up to where the 60GB would be a better deal than the 20GB deal.

    I could buy 400 games with 600 dollars >_< I don't need next-gen pretty that badly. Besides the PS2 breaks when you sneeze near it, the PS3 will probly catch my whole neighborhood on fire the first time I turn it on. Sony makes my favorite things, and yet they suck so much.

    I guess it's not that much to be upset about. 499 is the same price as the 20gb Xbox 360. We just have an option for a higher HD.

    I don't really know the benefits of the bigger harddrive. I know games will utilize disk space for faster load times. And I know you can download games. How long will 20 gigs last?

    It's good to see the creator of the site around
    And with so much knowledge too.

    Yeah, the 60Gig one will give you better things, as you just said.

    There'll be capabilities to connect the PS3 to a PC, either via the PSP memory stick things or directly, or whatnot. So space might not be at that much of a premimum.

    Aside from the faster load times why would you need to store that much on it. Just delete games that you are not playing anymore or don't care to have around any longer.

    I will be getting a PS3 but not at launch.

    After God of War 3, Devil May Cry 4, Metal Gear 4, Castlevania, Resident Evil 5, and Final Fantasy XIII are released i will pick it up.

    Hopefully the price might go down by than and the bugs will be ironed out.

    And what about the games? $70 a pop? Ouchers!
