Who will get a PS3 now that the price is out?

[ken_cinder]

Well I wouldn't want to lose the features mentioned, and $599 USD works out to 667.96 CAD so Sony can kiss my ass until that thing is nearly HALF the price.

[L.S.D]

Hey, who vote to buy on launch day?!?

I agree completely.

I'll fist see what the price will be in Euros and then wait. At least 6 months to a year.

[Weirdy]

cool; I wonder if that controller will work for PC

 

I bet it'll be the only piece of PS3 I will own if it does

I'm not entirely sure if this was posted before (A quick glance says "no", but I may be wrong), but check this out:

 

"Sony failed to mention in its press conference a few differences between the $499 and $599 PS3 models -- besides the 20GB and 60GB HDDs, that is. According to a PDF on SCE's Japanese website, the less-expensive version is lacking the following: 802.11b/g wireless capability; MemoryStick/SD flash slots; and an HDMI video-output. Looks like potential PS3 owners who want to take advantage of these features will need to shell out an additional hundred bucks, but hey, at least every model comes with a HDD, right?

 

Also worth noting, The PS3 controller does not have any sort of vibration feedback. Apparently, it interfered with its motion sensors -- or maybe Sony is still feeling the heat from that Immersion lawsuit."

 

Taken from here.

while the price might be much, its worth noting that its cheaper then getting a standalone bluray player (about $300 or so less). sony did the same with ps2 when they chose dvd and $300 then was a bargin for a console with dvd.

That only matters if you care about Bluray which I certainly don't. By the time I ever get a next gen video player they'll be down to $300 anyway.
