PS3...thoughts so far

Guys I doubt the PS3 sales are going to take off anytime soon without a much larger cut in price.The reason I believe this is because it's a luxury item and the highest priced one in it's category and when you consider the fact rising gas prices, a poor housing market and their many other economic and social factors that make it less likely that people to purchase high end items. The other thing you have to consider is opurtunity cost which is a basic finacial concept that not onlly can you afford an item but is it worth th cost to you compared to what else you could buy or just saving the money.
 
Well, I may buy another one for my bedroom because Circuit City is giving a Free PS3 Sixaxis Controller ($49.99 Value) with it on top of it. Then factor in 5 Free Blu Ray Movies (I value them at $25 a piece totally $125.00) and the PS3 actually costs $325.00 for the system.
 
I forgot. And if I use my Circuit City Credit Card, I get another $25.00 back in Gift Certificates. So, the PS3's actual cost is $300.00 ($50.00 more than a Wii and same as a Core 360).

Get over it. Like $500 still isn't expensive or something. Geeze, did the recent news make you think less of their E3 appearance? You'll always be able to buy a 60 GB, just maybe not brand new...and that's not always a bad thing.

1. $500 is expensive.
2. Yes, it did. There were two main things that made Sony successful at this E3. 1) The games 2) The price drop (even though it was pre E3). Plus, all the hype they created around the PS3 price drop was bait and switch which really pissed me off.
3. No, I won't. Try making $600 when your 14 and no one will hire you for a job. It isn't easy...
 
sell lemonade or something...

but seriously i know what you mean... $500 is still too much and i have a job. but i have no worries waiting. Once FFXIII comes out i might consider it. but until then i have bills and fines to pay

I did that when I was 10. I made 5 dollars after standing out there for 6 hours. :lol

Seriously though, $600 is quite a bit of money to most people. It isn't a fortune, but its not like its nothing...

If you're only 14, then you prolly won't see a PS3 unless your parents are rich. Honestly, all I hear people say is "price price price"....look at the Elite for the 360...and that ain't doin so bad. ::)

your right, strubes, at $120 cheaper than ps3, theyre basically the same
 
Try $20...($500 as opposed to $480) seriously what is your deal today... we might as as well call you fhq2 :lol
 
But you don't have to buy the elite, you can buy the cheaper one. Sony are getting rid of their cheaper model. It's like they want to piss me off. >:(
