PS3 to have a same launch price as PS2?
- Thread starter ManuVlad3.0
- Start date
"Reports saying" means very little right now. Plus, conjecturing the final price of the PS3 based on yen won't even translate anymore, as they broke their PS1/PS2 habit when they brought the PSP across the ocean.
We'll know when they tell us, basically. And we certainly won't know before the 360 is out. (And likely their launch plans/price will adjust as they can, depending on how the 360 launches, so thinking about things now...)

Here's hoping that in 5 years, they learned that one british pound is not one american dollar.
If they learned that, PS3 might actually be cheaper than the PS2 (when it launched) over here in the UK.
But then again, i think they're far too busy stuffing transistors and squeezing Petaflops from processors, to check the latest exchange rates...

Ah, I remember the good old days, playing through all those fun PS3 games! Good times, good times...
Yes. $5 billion on RnD doesn't add anything to the cost 
On a related note, if PS3 costs more than XB360, will that be seen as the more=better premium by Joe Public. Two consoles, one costs more...must be better?
As has been said here elsewhere, people buy the console they want, not the console that's cheapest. Having the pricier hardware, especially if 10 months earlier everyone was saying it was the more powerful system, might make PS3 more appealing to the buying public?

Maybe but the games also have to look noticeably better.Shifty Geezer said:Yes. $5 billion on RnD doesn't add anything to the cost

IT WILL.. or.. maybe I forgot to say "probably" will (notice the WILL, as in future) because I read in or heard somewhere (news) that the ps3 is as or cheaper to make than the ps2.. so that's why I didnt get whyy people thought it was gonna get so expensive even though it is cheaper to produce than ps2.. I'll try and get a source/link soon when I find it
Cause Cell is not custom, and RSX is somewhat cheap?! Oh and the XDR, all the connections... Yeah PS3 will surely be a Bargain Bin kind of price!! Similar threads
