How much did the ps2 originally sell for.
I think $250.00. Yay! I'm getting a PS3 for Christmas! (If they stick to the Nov. 17 release date.) I'll have to pitch in like 250.00 for it though and it's still not gonna be released for a while though, but hey! I'm still getting a PS3! *does PS3 victory dance*
Actually sin this was already confirmed ...but I have no intentions on buying that overpriced ps3...

Also confirming this was BEST BUY slipping out the release date for it. :P Which the actual date may or may not become reality. But I highly doubt Best Buy would even place anything on their site without *some good resoarce.

Okay maybe confirmed is a bit too strong of word to use...how bout all signs are pointing in that direction?

No, it was never confirmed.
Anyway, I'm sure there are enough fans that would buy a remake, as there are people that utterly dislike the game. I certainly am not going to buy a PS3 right at launch, especially if it's so expensive and with inevitable first-release bugs, etc.
I thought the PS3 was $600 (but that might just be the entire PS3 package, with the chrome thingy). I'm not getting one for a few years, at least. I will get one, tough (need FFXIII!)
And while a PS3 FFVII would make a huge amount of money, it would also cost a huge amount of money and time. And given the recent onslaught of FFVII titles (AC, DOC, CC, AC) there's little doubt in my mind that we'll all see a remake eventually, but we'll have to wait a while. A long while. And I would reserve a copy the second I can.
I'm gonna be a retard and buy the PS3 right when it comes out because... honestly, I can't take the wait any longer. Besides, there are probably gonna be a lot of great PS3games besides the FFVII remake. (which probably won't even be released) So, pity me.
PS2 launched at $300 with nothing but a controller and still sold a rediculous number of units, and this was coming off of a time when people were used to paying less than $200 for a new system such at the Playstation, the N64, and Dreamcast. (The PS2 launched over a year before XBox and Gamecube. And yet...they saw record sales. If I were Sony, I'd look at that, and think much the same. A $600 price tag isn't going to make a difference to the people that want it. And the fact is, they're expensive to make. It's not like Sony is making money off the console. So, minimal lost sales with opening price, and more people will buy it as the price drops. It's just too bad for us that Sony doesn't have the backing capital Microsoft does to take a huge loss on each system they sell...
And that's why Microsoft is evil.
Oh, also, tack on another $23,000,000 to profits in my original post. Apparently PS3 games will be $60 in the US. o.O!
Eh? $60!? MAN! Oh well, looks like I'm gonna own about 10 games for it then. or not. i'm loaded in allowance right now and all I have to do is keep saving. it shpuldn't be much of a problem.
Just to point something out. VII is neither rare nor expensive. I picked up my copy second hand for a fiver (£5).
The issue is with how long the remake would take to make. I think it was quoted as taking 5 years because there is more detail, which requires more people and more time to do.

They're selling new copies of VII for £16 on amazon.co.uk. Wouldnt say that's too expensive.
I hope they make a remake of it, though I doubt they will. I don't think they will make too much money from it, yes, fans of the game will buy it, and maybe some others, but I can't see it attracting buyers by huge numbers.
I just checked to see if that was true. It says used and new from $65.00.Originally Posted by Marly
For the PC-version, it isn't necessary. There are fan-made 'patches' that bump the resolution, higher-fidelity fight-models have been made to appear on the world-map and on those 2D pre-rendered locations. There's also a hack for changing the music to MP3, or whatever plug-in you want to borrow from Winamp.
I guess it's a different story for the PSX-version, but this is where the PC really shines.
