According to 1up the ps3 is rumoured to cost at least $500.Would anyone here be willing to throw down that much money on a new system?
I personally couldnt justify that.No way.Not when that sort of money could buy me a new bass or a stack of imported DS games.

At US$500 and the wacked rate of exchange, we'll probably be seeing the console here at $749.95.

Yep that seems just about right. Also remember the markup that transpotation costs make and the usual crappy markups companies put on the price (Such as Dick Smith)

Actually yeah considering the first few blu-ray drives that have been announced are going to be sold for $1500,a ps3 is comparatively quite cheap.
But $750 is gonna alienate a whole lot of people for quite a long time.

That's what I thought. I think the Sega Saturn was like the same originally as well...

So the PS3 may very well sell for that price.
