I told you! $400!

Post by benheck »

It's been announced, I hear, in PSM that the PS3 will be $400.

Now listen for moans and groans of disbelief from the leagues of people who thought a company would actually release an $800-$1200 gaming system.

Watch the 360 drop to $300 by September.

FINALLY someone realizes that Sony is not that stupid. Thanks, Ben. It doesn't matter, though, because Wii will rock you (no pun intended) Now only if Nintendo had full Square Enix support...

ANNOUNCEMENT: Oh yeah, Square Enix cited in recent news that they had several new "ideas" for new games to be displayed at E3, many of which had nothing to do with Final Fantasy. During the speech, SE mentioned that they were going to take advantage of the success of some "older" games. Is the infamous CHRONO BREAK finally a reality? Will Square get Quintet off their lazy asses and produce a Terranimga remake (probably not). Stay tuned, folks!

Whens the PS3 release estimated around right now? I need to save up for one to reap the 360 vs PS3 rewards however I will be a fanboy towards the 360 unless the PS3 really is better. I always hated the PS2 GUI.

I doubt it will be this low, maybe $500. Blu-ray is just damn expensive.

Speaking of E3, is anyone planning on going?

You can't go unless you are a licensed developer. Although you can set up an independent firm for a business at 14 here in Michigan, so I may just register myself as a game maker for PCs (C++ programmer :wink: ) and get in that way. Do 'ya think they'd let me in?

Awww... Are you sure? On the E3 website, it says that E3 will not be open to the public AT ALL! I even e-mailed them.

Well that's good news for Sony fans. Of course, if it is the minimum, then it still could be higher than 400. Sorry to sound like a cynic, but I still feel it will be somewhat higher than this. I mean, look at all the hardware specs! Still, if the final price is 400, you can pretty much guarantee that Sony will once again reign supreme.
