No way....I think Sony's ego is now showing with the pricing.

But you can get the lesser one for 500 right
Roll Eyes  LMAO.

Seriously though. If I had enough money to spend and didn't care at all about cost, I would buy one. I am sure it will be an amazing machine.

Even if money wasn't an issue I don't think I would.

Even in the best case scenario that it IS an "amazing machine",  I can still think of many better uses of $600. And realistically, it's more like $700 because who's going to buy the system and not buy at least 1 game for it...and let's not forget the sales tax?

It's just too much.

Christmas 2007 for me.  I always wait a year.  The price will most likely go down some by then and the games will be getting much better by then.  It always takes a year for the games to really start utilizing a new peice of hardware.

I'm not so sure that 2007 will be early enough for a price drop on the PS3...and even if they did drop it $100 to a $500 price, by then 360 will be down to about $300 and Wii to $150 or so.

I agree that the game quality will likely be on the upswing after the console's been out a year, but imo that still won't be good enough for me...I'm still thinking at least 2010 before I get one.

Hell no here. If we had the money to buy one to resell we'd prolly do it but otherwise no way. Too expensive and nothing worth mentioning being released for it.
