:huh: I love Sony and all, but as a student living away from home (from september) it’ll be at least a year after the launch before I can afford to buy a PS3 if that’s the launch price. £350 GBP is just ridiculous! :td: Evidently Sony are aiming for the “two kids named after super heroes and a house in Notting Hill” demographic. I can’t see many kids or any students being able to get a console at that price. So, time for Plan B: Wait for PS3 to come out and then buy an XBox 360 at the reduced price. 🙂 Sorry Sony, but that’s just too much. 😜 ---

> [@Seb Hughes](#): > > Wow, What a rip off. Theres me thinking Bill Gates was greedy :lo: Actually, it’s not greed. Sony have put such expensive technology in the PS3 that they simply can’t afford to sell it for less than they will. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Sony expect to make a huge loss on the PS3. I just hope that the improvements in performance justify the use of the Blu-Ray discs and the Cell processor. If they had gone with conventional DVDs and chips the price would have been much lower and the release sooner, but the improvement over the PS2 and XBox360 wouldn’t have been as much. ---

> [@3d Nirvana](#): > > meaning the ps3 must be a toned down low end sucky BluRay player 😉 The advantage is that console makers (like sony) are willing to take hits for the hardware in order to get it out there so they can make more money on games. Other bluray players are out to make a profit on the hardware. Of course in a few years, the players will be a hell of a lot cheaper. I imagine the PS3 will drop in price dramatically over time as well. Early adopters will be paying out the ears, while people who wait might be able to get it as low as probably less than half the original price. Of course theres no telling how long that will take, but I don’t think long. DVD recorders, for example, went pretty low pretty quick. ---

What? Did none of you hear yet that this isn’t going to be the price of the PS3, rather it was a mistranslation? He person who this rumored price came from meant to say “(the PS3 would be an amazing deal for blue ray) EVEN if it were priced between [$612 to $734].” He didn’t say “(the PS3 is going to be an amazing deal for blue ray) at a price between [$612 to $734].” [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/ps3-price-612-to-734-ouch-again/184541.md?page=2)
