From first to worst poor sony hahahahahahahaha!

I was just thinking, if you bought one of these just to flip, the system + state taxes + Ebay fees + Paypal fees, would bring your cost close to $700.

I don’t care how much of a shortage there is, I just don’t see too many people paying much over $700 to get this system, when there will be 2 other excellent consoles available for a fraction of the cost. Then again, those hardcore gamers are a bunch of whackos, so you never know.

Either way, I wouldn’t be too surprised if Microsoft announced a price drop near the PS3’s release, just to give Sony a knockout blow at the start of the bell.

These will easily sell for $1000.00+ through X-Mas. I'm think $1200-$1500 will be the norm.

Especially considering that the majority of Blu Ray players are over a grand as it is, they'd rationalise as it being even anyways. So you can expect them to pay double for it without flinching. I mean the 360 sold for triple when that came out.

Talk about really putting yourself between a rock and a hard place. Sony is going to take a beating if the following is true. I just pulled it off a game site:

Last week's excitement over Sony dropping the price of the PS3 in Japan may prove to be short lived with news coming out of the Tokyo Game Show that some PS3 games may cost nearly $100. Sources indicate that several PS3 games will retail for around $76 to $84, well above the current generation's $40 to $50; the price increase can be chalked up to increased development costs. Sony seems to have a knack for shooting themselves in the foot, no?

$100 a game or close to it!!!!! That is crazy.

I bought a 360 2 weeks ago

I'm going to go with the Wii. Seems to be the system for the casual gamer.

It may aply more to the Japanese market where games are more expensive anyway. But still games are going to average around $60 and that's not something to sneeze at.
