Hykos 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 From Gizmodo PS3 60GB HDD - $599.00 HDMI Cable - $49.99 You can find it cheaper on eBayMemory Card Adapter - $14.99 The only way to play saved PS2 games on your PS3Sixaxis Wireless Controller - $50.00 The box supports up to seven, comes with only one—but it knows six positionsBlu-Ray Disc Remote - $29.99 Because you are too damn lazy to use the Sixaxis as a remote control? TOTAL $743.97 Add to that $60 for each game and about $20 per Blue-Ray movie and probably 6-8% in tax depending on where you live and that's a grand easy. How anyone in their right mind could spend that on a console is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beornwarrior 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 There are plenty of people who would buy it regardless but I can only imagaine how much these things are going to be ebayed for. Sony's launch titles look pretty weak. I have a PS2 but ill definitelly be passing on the PS3. The WII is obviously going to sell like Krispy Kreme Doughnuts based on its price and first party games. Nintendo generally lacks in the shooter department so I've been tempted to get a X360 for Gears of War, Lost Planet, Halo 3, etc. I'm going to have to skip Burning Crusade to justify a new system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muublackhoof 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 HDMI cable only if you got a HD-ready TV, remote is useless, memory card useless if you still have a PS2, so the real price you could pay would be more like : 743.97-94.97 = 649$ You can always wait and buy some accessories later to lessen to blow on the wallet. Still, it's a lot for a console and this is not affordable to everyone. I'll be going for the Wii instead because I'm not that attracted to the whole "eye-candy" brought by the PS3.

Vanin 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 649 is a bit much to drop for a system that is slowly losing all of its exclusive titles to other systems. Wii all the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrende 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 Keep in mind Blu-Ray players are $999 right now anyway this is actually a pretty good deal. Now moving past that I've always gotten systems the day they come out but with the amount I play wow I'm not going to even bother preordering one this time, I'll wait.

dragonlgnd 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 I've got to agree with Vanin. With having one ofthe first wave PS2's break on me and needed to buy another one in order to play any game. SO I think Il skip the PS3 for awhile atleast.
