Thread: Pricing for PS3

I'm having plenty of fun on my XBox as it is. I'm certainly not in any rush to get a new console. I'd rather wait, let the price drop, and find out what problems the consumers have with each product.

As far as the prices being the same and deciding between XBox360 and PS3; I would suspect that most of the people picking up their XBox 360s already either can't wait for PS3, are XBox fans as it is, or simply have that much money that the price doesn't matter anyway.

yeah wats the point in getting the latest version of a system when it's at a high
price and when u maybe already have a ps2 wats next ps4,ps evoulution,or
whatever...Ill think ill wait im not eager in getting it.

Glad to hear it. I'll need to start saving now.

Chances are I won't buy the PS3 until there is a FF game on it though. Like Agent Orange I like to wait and see what happens with the first release. The 360? Not interested.

I'm more than likely going to be late with this one as well, PS2 came out in 2000 and i didn't actually get one until the end of 2002.

Well if the price for PS3 would be around the same price as the X-box that means that the ps3 has better features and more kool tools to use......

Ofcourse it's going to be to be the same cost as the Xbox. Sony would have to be insane to have otherwise (though all the xbox purists at the game stores here are lying right and left about the price being $600 so people will by the xbox360). And the Nentendo Revolution will most likley be about $100 less.

Most people don't by systems becasue of specs...they buy them for the game titles and the 'extras' (such as DVD play, etc). The Xbox could wistle dixie and wash my car for me and I wouldn't by it if it had no games I wanted on it. The PS2 could stay for the next 5 years and I'd still buy games for it if they were good games I knew I would play.

If your buying systems becuase of internal stats, your going to be very disapointed. Game companies don't use all the features in the current systems. They won't use all the current features in the next gen consoles either.

In the end, it's going to be about the best overall 'value' of the system. Does it have good 'extras' that you will actually use? Does it have the games you want to play? Are you locked into buying services and extras to get the full use of the system? Those are the important things....it's not price that counts, but overall value.

I pesonally think that the PS3 will have more vaule. It will have a larger selection of games. It's fully backwards compatalble (wtihout emulation), it will play more media types by default without 'upgrades'. And it's the same cost as the Xbox 360! In short, it most likley will have more value for your cost.

But then again, I'm a PS fanboy!

i am still havin fun with my xbox. i am in no rush to get a 360 as yet. plus if it costs $400 in the US i might cost around $600 here in jamaica
