they think that making it expensive will make them more money?, well there idiots, having it cheaper will mean 3 times more people will buy it bringing in money
I have been a Sony fan for as long as i can remember and when they came out with the price tag for the PS3 i was really disappointed so disappointed i stood in line for 5 hours at Nintendo World just to get a Wii yes that's right i went to a next gen system that was cheaper and you can still have fun with and if Sony makes a price drop i would be glad to stand in line for 5 hours for it to.
the fact is that as it's currently priced, the PS3 is more than most people can pay, much less want to in the US right now. I would think the April figures alone would prove this.. people are buying what's affordable.. and PS3 at $600 isn't in their budgets.
I do really really really want to own a ps3 console for myself. As do most of my friends and family. But the truth is that we just can't afford the 600 dollars. If it were less expensive a lot more people would buy one.
You could make a case for the PS3 being worth the 600 as a gaming machine AND Blu-Ray player. But as a person who doesn't yet care about hi-def movies, the price is too much. Way too much.
