PS3 price conjecture rumbles
Sony rumours burn...
Reports circulating in the Japanese media are currently speculating that the pricing of Sony's forthcoming Playstation 3 console will follow the same trend as the PS2. The PS3 is expected out in Japan 'next Spring', and it is believed it will launch at 39,800 Yen (about $400 or £200). The Xbox launched at a highly competitive 34,800 Yen at its ill-fated debut, while the Cube popped-up at ridiculously reasonable 25,000 Yen.

The latest rumours are said to emerge from leaks sourced through Sony's business partners, who have indicated to Japanese websites like Impress PC Watch that the PS3 will launch at a price point below 40,000 Yen. Not cheap, then, but certainly not the monstrous fee some analysts have mooted when noting the cost of the PS3's advanced innards to Sony.
Last week, Japanese rag the Mainichi Daily News speculated that the price might be as high as 50,000 Yen, a hefty price in the competitive Japanese hardware market. The Xbox 360, unveiled at LA's E3 showcase, is expected out in Japan this winter - with the PS3 following in the Spring - the key Japanese market is likely to prove a pivotal testing ground for both systems' consumer appeal.

Xbox will be way better than ps3. But why does it have to cause so much?
xbox 360 will kick the ps3 ass because the ps3 has shown there line up of games but xbox360 still as halo and killzone is going to look kids toy in front of halo3 then will see who is batter
LOOK LIKE A KIDS TOY THAT IS
it looks kool i herd that it iz faster than an x box 360 and a computer
PS3 is worth the 400$... on Game Trailers . com they show what the PS3 has.. it was a taping from the meeting Sony people had to unviel the PS3's abilities
i saw that it wuz good
I am a huge fan of the Sony Playstation I have always been. And When I herd that there will be a Playstation3 I was very happy and exited. At least that was until I found out how much they would be charging for the PS3. $500 hundred is rediculous I mean come on you people are selling to kids and young adults and how many of them do you know can just reach into there pocket and pull out $500. And even if there parents could buy it for them I doubt that they would sence the PS2 was only $299 when it first came out. I think that the people who are selling the PS3 are going to see when it comes out that people just can,t afford it sence everything else has gotten more expensive. I know the PS3 is suposed to be very powerful but that is no excuse for the price and I know there is no way I can afford even though I want one very badly so I guess I will just have to do without one.
i think ps3 is amazing and i hope we'll have it soon in lebanon.
ps3 is not better than the xbox
the ps3 should be the same price as the xbox360

ps3 is really amazing and more powerful then xbox 360 hope to get it soon in beirut lebanon
Now the 360's com out at £300 why would sony bring out the ps3 on £200
The ps3 just costs far to much
how come the ps3 is cheaper in japan than it is in England?
it is worth every penny considering it has blu-ray built, in which is better than hd-dvd. dont know if you have had a look, but blu-ray players are startin at $1000. I WILL BE BUYING A PS3.
