That plain isn't true. The average gamer will see the lower price as a mark of inferiority and mentally file the Revolution with the PS2, Xbox and GC.
Not exactly. While some might foolishly do that, I'm sure that many will not just go "Oh, it's priced more, so it's gotta be good."
Which is why I'm saying the 360 will probably sell best.

I feel sorry for sony. They're become... all... desperate?
I always liked the playstation, I grew up playing crash bandicoot. I don't like seeing sony get bashed like this.

I think the PS3 is just foreshadowing whats to come next - sooner ot later, gaming consoles will cost an average of 600.
Unfortunately, it seems like that will happen in the near future. I can easily see the price of a Game system being near a thousand dollars in the next decade or so.

It doesn't matter if they'll all be $600 in the future, Sony's pricing the PS3 at $600 now.

It's not the system getting bashed here; the PS3 is going to be a great system. It's Sony themselves that are taking the much-deserved heat.

Aw, now I feel old... I remember when there was no Playstation, and when it came out nobody really knew what it was -_-;

Heh, I think I calculated the PS3 in £

$599 Us dollars.divided by 1.56, = £383.97435.

If they make it cost £399.It'll be MORE expensive over here. Not like I care anyway

I dunno where you got that 1.56 figure, but it's way off. The current exchange rate is about 1.85 dollars to the pound (or 0.54 pounds to the dollar).

FYI, the easiest way to do currency coversion is to just ask Google:

Google wrote:
599 U.S. dollars = 323.486526 British pounds

Google wrote:
399 British pounds = 738.8283 U.S. dollars


And yes, electronics are very often significantly more espensive in the U.K. than in the U.S.

I think I read somewheres that the price for the uber-PS3 in the UK would be something like 449 pounds (I don't know the keystrokes for the fancy pound symbol). But always take information from me with a grain of salt.
