yea i think most ppl r just gonna wait it out,its gonna be interesting to see how many units it sells in like the first 3months, prolly gonna have to drop the price if not that many units r sold  8)
plus with the revolution coming out the same month, that could also hurt sony since its gona be like $300 cheaper lol,ill prolly pick up a revolution if theres a solid launch lineup and the controller is tight and not just a gimmick

If Sony really does sell this thing in the high hundreds then there won't be much of a battle for X Box to win. The real loser will be the industry. In the last round there was about 120 million consoles in the homes of the consumers. 80 million of that came from Sony. If the PS3 plummits then the entire market could fall to 50 or 60 million consoles and every game developer in the world will make half as much as they did the last time around.

Sony Released a statement today:

Sony stated today that comments regarding the price of the PlayStation 3 made by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) executive Georges Fornay on French radio were "misinterpreted", according to a report at gamesindustry.biz.



Nick Sharples, SCEE corporate communications director, told the industry website that the notion that Fornay's mention of a price range of €499 to €599 for the next-generation console was a "mistranslation or misunderstanding of the discussion, which was actually focused on the relative value of PS3 as a Blu-ray Disc player."

According to Sharples, the pricing discussion on French radio station Europe 1 was intended to focus on the fact that the PlayStation 3 would be priced "very competitively" when compared to other products that would use the Blu-ray optical technology if it were to be priced at €500, but that this pricepoint would put it "well above the range of other game console products."

Sharples claimed that Fornay was explaining that with both Blu-ray and high-definition functionality, the PS3 would be "cheap" relative to other products that have these features but more expensive when compared to other "current" game consoles which retail at "far below €500."

Sharples stated that any reports that suggest Fornway was providing a specific price point or price range for the PS3 were completely "incorrect."
