XBox360 at BestBuy: $399 Same Price? I think not, unless you're talking about the hacked apart
Core System which doesn't even come with a wireless controller and has standard AV connectors. So much for the HD revolution...
Um what are you trying to prove?? Like I said it launched with a price tag the same as the original xbox. if you want to dismiss that, go right ahead,the point you're making is still incorrect. I guess with your reasoning, you consider the PS3 "hacked apart" as well since a HD will also be an optional buy? No of course not, you can just buy a memory card - or wait, you can do the same on the core 360. Comments like yours above, are blately single minded, annoying, unwanted, and inflamatory.
And Q, I'm a little confused, how much in addition would the accessories cost to give the X360 the same functionality as the PlayStation3, say, 802.11x? Blu-Ray/HD-DVD?
Honestly, this is another fanb0y-ish remark. If you want to talk about accesories, how about "how much would it cost to add a hard drive to the PS3?"? What would be the price of the console at that point? I don't give a crap about Blueray. I don't see how that is going to help PS3 sales when blue ray adoption (outside of games) is limited by HDTV adoption rates. It certainly won't help sony reach 200 million units in 5 years. or do you expect 200 million HDTV's to sell during that time? a year after PS3 is on teh market, I bet we see better and faster dedicated bluray players on the market for a comparable price. Wireless is nice but not necessary. Anyway you're purposely trying to take this thread off topic for some unknown reason.
I'm not, what I am doing is thinking. And it's occured to me how ignorant your post is of the market dynamics of a console launch; ironically, the things you're suppose to be good at.
Sure vince, and we all trust your opinion of the market. My opinion is "ignorant"? wow, a personal attack form vince, oh that never happens... It really means a lot coming from you. No I'm only kidding, it don't mean jack, and I'll ignore that.
I restate, do you honestly believe that the availability of the PlayStation3 during the launch window will be bounded by demand side factors, such as cost? That is utterly ridiculous, it's allways bounded by supply; as recently seen in the $800 eBay actions for X360s.
Yes, to be honest I do. I think the price if higher than the Xbox 360 price tag it will move slow enough to make reaching 200 million units (in five year) NOT a reality. you do remember the topic of this thread right?
Pull up the post then. You're just instigating trouble and doing it by unethical means; but nothing will be done... Dave... QED.
Seriously WTF is your problem? I'm not even using that quote anymore (it's turned off in my posts), so i really don't see what you're trying to "instigate" by even bringing that into this discussion. I remember the context for which you posted your remark, and I don't need to prove anything to you. If YOU don't like it, take this nonsense offline and pull up the damn post yourself. I really love this, you come into a thread, start throwing insults and accusations, act like a complete ass, and then you're calling me "unethical" and say I'm the one "instigating"? You must be crazy or something. This board was better when you were banned or whatever. you don't want to see my posts, use the bloddy ignore feature.
