It is crazy all the people that are selling them for so much money. I should have done this. I think I could have come up with the 600 bucks to make a big profit.

I know, I can believe that someone can easily make a living off this. Buy a couple PS3's, a couple 360's and some Wii's and make an 8 grand profit on each one, try one of each type for like 20 to 40 grand. You could easily make some extra money!

Alot of people are buying The ps3 and selling it on ebay for like a $1,000
Thats pretty smart...

My friend's brother bought a 60gb ps3 and fall of men. He is probably going to sell for 2,000$. Average price on ebay for 60gb is 1500$. I rather wait 1 year til prices go down

ya me to lol

I agree, but if you think about it, the wait list is about 1 year long for these consoles. Everyday it will be like this. People buying them for the price to sell it on eBay. If you havent got one, mine-as-well wait about 1 to 2 years for the price to go down. Too bad it is already so high it will probably only go down to 450-500, and thats if we're lucky. I bet 550.

1 year, the price will drop on eBay. Sony's unlikely to drop the price of the system.

No Ps3's will allowed to be actually sold over EBay.
It's being put under the Identify Theft Act. Simply to put, with people stealing them and etc.. they said "None of them get sold". However i'm sure other Ebay like services will pick them up.

Fanboy -_-

Wii = for fun
PS3 = for rpgs
Xbox 360 = for competitive hard core games.

I'd really suggest you get a Wii. Cause you don't really have to. Your dads gonna bring you a Wii.

Did the XBox and the PS2 ever lower down to a lower price? I dun 'member

All consoles have at one time lowered down to a lower price.....

I believe both the Ps2 and Xbox costed $250 at launch. Now there around $100 - $150 or maybe even less.

Well, now that there are new systems, I expect the PS2 and the XBox to lower prices to $100. I don't think the 360 and the PS3 will lower prices untill the second year, their first year is too soon.

xbox and ps2s are out of the line. you can probably buy them around 80$.

I'm pretty sure both were more expensive than that. I remember seeing a PS2 costing over 500 dollars or so at an Electronic Botique or whatever they are called.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox#Pricing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_2#Price_history

Both released for 300$

I was much closer than your $500.
I must have been thinking of the Gamecube then(which i'm sure was 250, please don't prove me wrong ).

Anyway Ps3 is double that damn price. God damn thats sickening.

Ya beacuse its more powerful and better! It is more powerful than the Wii and the 360. The only thing going for the Wii is its controllers that I think are completely rediculous!

Oh, no no no, they did sell it for like 500 there

I won't check for Gamecube, I think it was 250 dollars too

Actually, the 360 and PS3 are powerful in their own ways. PS3 doesn't have much memory, and it doesn't have much dedicated video memory. It's good at like geometry, and vertricies and stuff, but when it comes to detail, I'm pretty sure Xbox 360 is better :\

It isn't really better than the 360 actually. Tell me exactly how from a technical standpoint it is. I will disprove anything you can throw out at me. Anything about it's specs, i'll tell you how it will actually fold out in a game.

And the Wii? I've used the controllers! Guess what!!!!! THEY ARE AMAZING. You loose.


Damn that sucks.


Thank Science.


While it may be faster than the Ps2....who's to say the games will be funner? There will be less games for the Ps3(longer to develop. Not including old libraries but it'd be cheaper to get a Ps2 then). Less innovative games and innovative(and new) companies(Publishers not wanting to take chances). Overall your going to have less games and less innovative games on the Ps3. Better my ass.

With the 360 it is much easier to get your hands on the SDK, and even easier for a person to get into games via XNA and Live Aracde. How development times will be similar although probably easier to debug.

With the Wii development times will be similar to Xbox\Ps2, Publishers will be very willing to take chances. The SDK is lower than that of the Xbox\Ps2 and MUCH lower than that of 360\Ps3 by being at $2,000. This is going to lead to a lot of innovative games just from that. Now lets throw in the controller and your going to get some very new, shocking, innovative, crazy, intense, smart, games.

Hell if I can get 2,000(me also being a programmer), i'd get a Wii SDK. Then I would start designing my own little addicitive mini game. Maybe even construct a team based off of the HL2 site I visit a lot and the modders who I talk with. Hell teams who mod games like HL2, Doom3, and UT2004 would love this. If they could make a decent Wii game and get it to a publisher they could become a full fledged developing company.


Also uhh wasn't the launch prices for the Ps1 -> Ps2 and N64 -> Gamecube the same(or close to). Ps2 and Gamecube were faster yet were able to cost the same.....hmm yet Sony can't do it with the PS3.

I Dunno, i have a Wii and a 360' but i want a Ps3 too...

Well, someone isnt a needy person. lol, Well i wish that I could have all three too. But I would deffinately rather have a PS3 then all the others.

Whaddaya mean it came out too soon? It came out a little bit before Christmas of 2005, like in November or something.
.....
Ahem. What I'd like to get for the PS3 is that basketball game, don't remember what it was called, but it was simple. Not like those cheesy football games. I don't get those at all. But it was simple. Like NBA Street Basketball simple.
The graphics didn't look too bad either, but the people were quite shiny. Very quite shiny. Very.
I wouldn't wait a couple years for the price to go down, though. The prices won't go too far down, plus there'll probably be like 200,000 new gaming consoles out by then.
$600 dollars is a little much, but you get it now when it's still cool or you get it later when theres... 200,000 new gaming consoles.
That's why I bought the 360 early.
But it is your money, and your opinion. Do what you want.

PS3 VS Wii

This is all that I have to say really. It explains everything, and will end discussions on the fact.
