What If... The PS3 cost $1000?

[Guyver]

Start scrounging for change, the next-gen might come with a hefty price tag.

January 27, 2006 - Those lucky enough to have gotten their hands on a 360 will tell you that after the hardware, games, and other miscellaneous peripherals, controllers, etc., buying a next-gen system 'aint cheap. But as much as a 360 may have hurt your pockets, it's looking like a PS3 will even more so. In fact, it's fairly feasible to assume that the PlayStation 3 could retail at anywhere between $300-$800 at launch.

im still buying it lol....hope its not that much though...yikes..

the PS2 was $900 when it first came out in Aust and I bought it so yep I'm paying that much the new 360 finally comes out here in march very soon but I'm giving that a pass

I'd only consider the PS3 at $900 IF it records onto Blu-Ray and I'm stretching by saying I'd consider it.

Otherwise....

FUCK NO!!!

1. I'm not kidding when I tell you that I have tons of unopened games on Xbox, PS2, and GC. My Xbox is modded and has 90+ games in it. Why should I jump when Sony says jump? I don't play what I have.

2. I have a mortgage, wifey, and a kid, and a game system that expensive is out of the question...now if it did the recording thing I might be able to eliminate my TIVO. That's the only thing I have now that records in HD.

3. The PS3's games don't look THAT good enough to justify a console triple the cost of a PS2.

edit: but again...I would get one hot and I guarantee there'll be hot PS3s probably on a second or third shipment. First shipments are usually accounted for very well.

Pretty common here.

Wish I could catch up with someone for another PSP for those subway rides.

I have been content though with my Treo.

Of course not.

You can always count on sheep to buy. Plus there are sheep with boatloads of money.

If I was rich, I'd buy it. I'd be a sheep with money.

IF I could get $1000 by then, I'd still say no.
