Why still so expensive?!!

[agnes]

I just thought to my self that I might buy a PS3 before my girlfriend and I move out which then I will be on a VERY strict budget... But nope, still edging on £300!!!

It is ridiculous! Was expecting to pay below £200 at least with a couple of games!

If anyone is selling one, you know whos looking lol.

Thing is, my 360 plays 720p avi's (x264 ect ect) just fine through windows. I would probably buy the HP bluray set, but other than that, it's purely to play the exclusives and increase me epeen lol.

How much cheaper have they got in 4 years?

Stupid really lol. If I have backed out of buying a PS3 for this reason, then how many others and bought a Xbox 360 bundle at half the price?

Don't paticularly want a bluray like I said, it's the gaming console part that I was hoping to buy.

Cheers for all the input guys, I will keep an eye out for a cheap on floating about, but I'm not shelling £300 smackeroo's for 2 games and a bluray player lol.

My bro in law got one for xmas, and we linked it up to my 42" 1080p tv but I must say I was very disappointed with the graphics. I was expecting 360 killing graphics, no jaggies etc but it looked identical to the 360.

Perhaps my expectations were too high. I also don't use bluray, but I still find myself wanting one. It is purely the price putting me off

Yea, most multiplats are identical, oddly with the 360 climbing over the PS3, and vice versa in others.

But that I'm not worried about, the exclusives make or break a console
