PS3: $500 to make

[A Black Falcon]

But really, who here is all that motivated to get the new systems? I'm still stunned by the looks of the new Zelda game, and I saw pics of that NEXT TO Killzone pics. I'm not saying it's technically better, I'm just saying I like the look better.

I agree here... not technically, but artistically for sure. :)

Eh, I don't know... I really don't see these selling very well if they actually have to charge 400 or more for the systems. I guess that's what I'm saying. The majority of people might just end up holding on to their old systems until the price goes down. Still, wouldn't it just be weird if the price drop was Virtual Boy style?

$400 is, historically, on the upper end of where system prices have started, but it's not unheard of... it is true that consoles don't usually succeed at that price, though. Anyone remember the Saturn? :D

It has one big thing going for it that you forget, though. The PlayStation name. And that counts for a LOT.
