And people were paying outrages prices for the Premium system on EBay. And according to Game Informer the PS3 WILL ship with a 60 GB Hard Drive.

i just think it'll be way too much for the average consumer. my xbox360 with a 2 year warranty was about 500+, the 60 GB hard drive from what i heard isn't a for sure thing meaning, it isn't known if Sony will charge extra for it or will sell it separate from the PS3. we'll have to wait and see but i read in the Official Playstation magazine that, Sony is basically copying Mircosoft's Xbox live and if they were to sell their systems for even 500 or 600 Sony would be the Red no doubt for some time. Blueray technology is just too new, IMO, to sell so cheap.

Sony is willing to sell the systems cheap. wasn't XBOX losing like $150 per system it sold? Most of the money making comes from selling games published from their own company, that's where they recoup heir loses. And Blueray tech is expensive now but a year year and a half it'll lower dramatically so Sony would be losing alot of money for just a while. And this is exactly what it says in Game Informer, "A Sony spokesperson confirmed with us that the PS3 will ship with the 60GB hard drive included, so the public will not have to purchase one seperately."

yea its been confirmed that the ps3 will be launching with a 60gb hardrive thus making the ps3 even more expensive, also expect microsoft to come out with a bigger hardrive for the 360 by the time the ps3 launches if necessary.

Yeah it should be around there...hopefully not too expensive
I was a reading a few things in some magazines and one of the main reasons PS3 is gonna be expensive is because of teh blu-ray technology, the players themselves will be realy expensive wthen they come out...
as for now..damn..why does money have to be an issue? lol
I actually just bought an xbox 360 and im really happy with it
ps3 or xbox 360, to get the best out of the graphics, then you need to have an HDTV,
and i've been reading on both of these systems, in the long run they are going to indeed have similar graphics, which is true, based on the technology packed in each system
a lot of ps3 fanboys don't realize that all those videos and trailers of games they have for the system are not real gameplay footage, they mentioned this in electronic gaming monthly and its true, like that game gears of war, looks DOPE...but its not going to look like that
theres a lot of ps2 people to me that are funny because they still think ps2 >>xbox when it comes to graphics. ..which of course is proven wrong..especially when u compare max potentials...with both of the newer systems, the multiplatform titles bog the graphics down because of the compatability for more than one system
the xbox 360 for example...if you play project gotham racing 3 on an hdtv, then DAMN, but if u play a sports game, it'll still look good, but could be better
and I know the 360 or ps3 aren't going to unleash their full potential yet
games wise, both of them are going to be good, I personally think 360 will do a little better on that, and popularity wise, they have halo 3 coming out in 2007, sometime there
for now though only the 360 is available, so go ahead and get it and you will be happy..and if you do..get it at costco..for $490, I got the premium system, an extra wirless controller, the charge and play kit, and project gotham racing..all in one package
im probably gonna buy the ps3 when it comes out, i'll probably buy 2, one for myself and the other to sell to people on ebay so I can just make that money back
I Am The Anton:
I would just go with a 360. Its pretty much a given that the ps3 will be at least $100 more than the 360, and i'm pretty sure the ps3 graphics wont be all that much more amazing than the 360's. All those ps3 movies out now are pre-rendered shit, it might not look like that during gameplay.

sorry to bring this up... but its funny how the tables have turned...
the argument with the first xbox and the PS2
"xbox has better graphics blah blah its better because yeah it has better graphics and did i mentioned that the graphics are better... and thats all that matters in a game that the graphics are better because graphics are all a game needs...!!!!"
so why was the PS2 kicking its ass then???
"More game selection, Fun games with good graphics... better control..."
NOW!!
the 360 got the jump on the ps3 but all the xbox guys are gettin scared because that whole main argument they had before . . . "GRAPHICS ARE ALL THAT MATTERS" is out the window now... because we all know that the PS3 is going to be ATLEAST equal to the graphics on the 360 and more than likely a little better (just like the xbox was a little better than the PS2) . . . and the PS3 has all the game backing.... so now all the things that everyone complained about the ps2 like NO HARD DRIVE... NO XBOX LIVE type of online play....etc the ps3 is going to have including BETTER GRAPHICS.... so the 360 people gettin kinda scared the only advantage they had was to drop about a year earlier (like the ps2 did on the xbox) . . .
just funny how its all working out... but i think that once the PS3 drops that its going to Generate ALOT OF HYPE especially with a WORLDWIDE release...
overall i think the PS3 will be more successful overall but in gameing it all comes down to preference....
for me i think it will be PS3>360 . . .
i think the whole 360 hype DIED real quick... and i think this happen because it really wasnt much differnet from the current box.... no really NEW features besides better graphics and wireless controllers.... i think the PS3 is a bigger improvement from the PS2 than the Xbox is from the 360 .. . and this all has to do with something i didnt like the xbox did... i think it was too quick to make a new system the PS2 will have a lifespan of 2 more years over the Xbox and to me as a consumer is a big thing...... but anyways im done here... we will see what happens... just want the PS3 to drop soon at a reasonable price range....
