Playstation 3 Price?

goan_st4r · 01-25-2006, 09:16 PM

Can anyone estimate how much they think the Playstation 3 will cost? I predict 600-800. The hardware is really what would jack up the price. Plus i think the games will range from 85-100 each. (all prices in canadian here).

List the prices you think...Canadian or US.

why not...they are coming on BLU-RAY...Which is much more expensive than HD-DVD.

yes ur very right. sony will have to make a lot of money to even make a profit. 600-800 dollars is very close. as i mentioned in the xbox 360 vs. revolution thread. the games might not be that expensive but close.

yeah lets hope the games are cheaper. With all the power in the Playstation 3 i agree with you that Sony will have to sell alot to make a profit. Big test for them this time around.

ill probably get one in a few years

i never get a system when they first come out. usually over time, they have better technology(like new ps2) and the price drops at the same time.

I reckon Sony will do what they did with the PS2 and sell it at a loss. They easily made up the money later with software and merchandise. My prediction for PS3 is around £280 or around $500. Games will probably start off on DVD (keep it as something familiar for a while) and cost about £40-45 ($70-$80)
then with the advent of Blu-Ray they will up the price to £50 ($90).

Yes, they may come on blu-ray which are much moe expesnive for US, but when you are wholesaling things in they are alot cheaper, and the price isn't as much for them.
