Joel, iv got to ask you this, do you know how much a Blu-Ray driver costs? I doubt it, my uncle (who makes computers, has a Blu-Ray Burner on his compuet spent $945 on that alone... that would probbly be why it is so expencive, IMO I think pay£600-800 is hugely worth the price tag considering what is inside the computer.

Sony could have genuinely have announced tha it would cost £525, and everyone would still think it incredibly reasonable considering the technology inside the console. As we stated last issue, that with the Playstation 3 you are essentially getting a pice of hardware that, when you consider how much it is capable of, should be costing around £2000. It seems ridiculas to say such a thing, but bare in mind that your standared Blu-ray player currently retails at at just under £1000. The Playstation 3 is going to be launched at an unbelievably cheap price.
BTW I cant link this information because i read it out of a magazine and as such i had to write it up by hand
