What If... The PS3 cost $1000?

:lol: :lol:

Damn $800 is just too damn much for a console man...

The way I heard it last, sony were planning to sell the first shipment at a loss, to try and get as many as possible out there, quickly. So I really do wonder about it being that expensive.

Also, the xbox 360 isn't selling well at all in japan :happy: I reckon the ps3 will catch up to the 360 easily enough over there, and once the ball gets rolling prices will drop after a bit.


And anyway, the game sites I've looked at now put it at ~$400 at most, last year.

Yes, but if I didn't upgrade because of the risk of my components being outdated in 9 months time then I'd never upgrade...besides October is my birthday. :shifty:

lucky you :P

japanese people have small hands? :blink:

as long as it's under $1000, it's still worth it. if you already have a nice pc, then it's not worth it. but if u have a average pc, and need something for games, it's not that bad. it'll turn down a lot of consumers, especially teenagers. which is why there is no way the price can get higher than $400-600. if games cost $50 each, a system with a few accessories and some games could cost a 15 year old his life savings, and he might have to sell his clothes to afford it. so it probably won't happen

Not only Japanese, almost for all Asians. I'd say, the Xbox controller is very big.
