I dont see that happening. Ps3 might be complex but this aint the first time sony have been in a challenge like this before. Besides, am not sure but shouldnt Moore's law be applicable here? Anyway, the loss is for the short run and ultimately profit will be made.

£425 is $825 dollars, not $710.

I dont actually think that us paying more is anything to do with Sony, MS, Nintendo or any of the manufacturers tbh.
We pay more here for almost anything than you would do in the states or even the far east - it's just the way it is!!!

Yeah, if i wont play your game i have no answer. I know perfectly well about all those conditions, but regardless of any market conditions £425 is still a ridiculous price and at that point everything else becomes irrelevant, Microsoft managed to put their next gen system out a year ago for £125 less, Sony should have got somewhere a lot closer to that.
You're just a sony fanboy trying to justify the price any way possible.

Yeah like demand constant patches... or display in 16 colours because you are using graphics driver V8.783891a not V8.783891b... or demand DirectX 7.1739c... or randomly crash to desktop 3 hours after your last save.badgermonkey said:The PC does more too
You can do internetz and download porn on it though.

I honestly never saw that coming....Rolleyes x 9999999 perhaps you should change yours!
It's not a ripoff considering the hardware the PS3 has. Ok we didn't ask for it for it harness the processing power of 15 gigaterrabillaflops but it does, nor are we forced to buy it. Give it a year and it'll be affordable. They're losing a considerable amount of money on each console, more on the cheaper one hence why only the 60gb will be released here.

I use the drivers that came with my hardware, haven't had new drivers since last May, and it all runs fine
But pr0n and internetz are good
(The first ones better

So if you claim you know right, what you are saying is what works for ms should work for Sony? I want even playing any game with you. I asked you a genuine question but i guess you still aint answering them due to you having no answer right?
Im a fanboy..? Im not justifying anything - My Sweat, my hard work, my money and my choice. dont have to justify anything. This line of debate is predictable, once people cant see your views or agree, i guess one automatically becomes a fanboy.

Sony increases PS3 price
Too cheap
By Nick Farrell: Monday 29 January 2007, 09:16
ENTERTAINMENT GEAR gear maker Sony has decided that the reason that its PS3 is not selling as well in Canada as it likes is because the most expensive console on the market is too cheap.
According to hereGamersReports Sony has upped the price for the PS3 in Canada by $40 dollars. The new price is Canadian $699.99. Both Best Buy and Futureshop have the console listed at the new price, the old list used to be $659.99.
The move brings Canada into line with what the US charges for the machine, although local users are fuming. It seems that it is just yet another PR own goal by Sony in the PS3 saga which has seen shortages, high prices and a badly managed launch. µ

1. Next Gen Console
2. Blu-ray Drive
3. 60Gb HDD
the price seems justifiable as the sum of it's parts, where it falls down is that you are 'forced' to buy it all in one go, whether you need the 'extra's' or not.. and you 'need' a HDMI lead as well or it's next to useless..
