You have played right into Micro$oft's marketing hands! A few hundred dollars to play one good game? That's the only card MS' playing for their Xbox 360! PS3 will have a ton of good games (and plenty of Wolfenstein 3D clones, like Halo).Originally posted by Augusta
PS3 will never have Halo. That game alone would be worth getting an Xbox. That and Oblivion which is way fun.

Let me explain Microsoft's plans for you:Originally posted by Augusta
Xbox and Xbox 360 not only has those premium games but almost everything PS3 has in addition. Developers WANT to make games for Xbox so as soon as they get out of any contracts with Sony they can and do make games for Xbox.
Don't let hate for Microsoft keep you from great gaming.
"Let go of the hate."
Let me explain Microsoft's plans for you:
1. Market to achieve monopoly in the console-gaming world using whatever dirty business is required to do so
2. Ensure no competitor can rise to challenge the monopoly
3. Stop innovating and release horrible, buggy products; which if one is going to game you must use MS because of their monopoly
Sound familiar?

PS3 has blu ray and a 60 gig hard drive.

I am genuinely curious - how do ya'll rationalise video games and shooters in particular into your santification experience?
I have an 11 and 8 year old and have self conciously limited their access to video games - and am struggling with it a bit, right now.
(sorry if this is a downer - might be a good seperate thread...)

Are you saying the sin of gates prevails? Or is it the gates of sin? Or. . . oh nevermind.
I haven't the slightest idea what all of you guys are talking about. The last video game I played was Asteroids in the Lounge Bar of Belgrade MT, circa 1984, if you ignore the computer chess I played a few years back.

Update 2: In reply to the 1up article stating that Japanese game prices are typically higher and that we shouldn´t be alarmed by this news, I would like point out the following. PS2 games in Japan currently have an average price of $58 - $62. When you compare that to the expected prices of PS3 games, you are looking at an $11 to $21 increase. Japan´s generally higher gamer prices acknowledged, a Japanese price increase of that magnitude will surely lead signifcantly higher game prices in North America and Europe as well.

Hmm. I guess I don't understand your reasoning. The two machines aren't comparable. The PS3 has far superior hardware . . .Originally posted by Average Joey
Man guys I was looking forward to the PS3 too and so were several people I know.Now we are not going to buy one because of that price.It makes the XBOX 360 look cheap.

xBox 360 = $400 low bundle; $500 high bundle (though Amazon's price is actually $563 right now).
PS3 = $499 low model; $599 high model.
Seems like the prices aren't that different at all--especially considering that the PS3 isn't just a simple "update" to the PS2, like the xBox 360 is compared to the xBox. And since Sony is going to release so many more on the release date, you won't have to buy your PS3 for $1,000 off eBay.
