We're saving up to buy a house, so I won't be getting a PS3 until there is a price drop in a year or two. No 360 or Wii for me, my gaming pennies will be going towards a PS3.

Eh with only 2 million at launch worldwide, they might as well recoup as much money as they can. Microsoft can only be happy about this.

How is Nintendo ruined? Nintendo is gonna have more then two worthwhile games to show at there press conference tommorow. If anyone is ruined after this press conference, its Sony. They just lost a whole lot of marketshare to MS and Nintendo.
$500 was expected for Blu-Ray. Price will come down once cheaper methods of producing the technology comes out. I love the FFXIII stuff and I'll probabyl wait for that to come out before shelling out for the PS3. Currently enjoying my PS2 enough right now, can wait a bit for next gen.
Damn wish it could be cheaper, but whatever I'm still getting it day 1. 
The downside is we get to hear the bitching and moaning for months now from ppl who never were going to get a Playstation complaining about the price of a console they don't want anyway.
Not sure 40 extra gigs is worth $100 us, unless there's more to it the 20gig pack sounds fine to me!

My penis is still intact.
I was actually really impressed with a lot of the PS3 stuff. The controller is great, even if it's not quite as good as Nintendo's for me. It's still much better than just a boring old controller anyway. Picking the black console is exactly what I wanted. Packed in HDD...excellent. The Sony published games were all amazing looking (from Heavenly Sword onwards), aside from Resistance (which I suppose had good graphics, but zzzzzzzz) . Some of the third party games really wowed me, MGS4 being the main one of course, while others were very average looking. Still, I was excited.
Then the price...oh god the price. What a kick in the nuts. There's no way I can afford that, and it'll take ages to drop down to a level I can. I doubt I could buy beyond $250...it'll be years before it reaches there

The way I see it, it's $100 more than a premium xbox 360.
I'm trying to look on the bright side guys :lol :lol

The new Dual Shock is not only not as cool / versatile as the Wiimote. The price tag is just lunacy.
I was going to buy a Wii and a PS3, but now, after that disgusting E3 showing, I'm not so sure MGS and new FF games are enough.
I think I'll get a used PS3 years upon years later and just buy the greatest hits versions of the FF and MGS games. :lol

This means it will be easy for me to pick one up at launch without a pre order... I'm ok with it.

You know, I thought I was OK with the $499 price point, but now that it's real...
I need to sleep on it, but I may be buying a 360.

Nintendo knew/anticipated that Sony would pilfer some ideas from the Wiimote. They are ready for this. Tomorrow will be exciting.
Sony will try to use this tacked on tilt to confuse the market, and will likely succeed to some degree.
Sony will also have a really hard time selling their machine at that price. Good luck with that.

Wow. $500-600 means I'm not buying one for a long time.
And everyone's thinking about Nintendo, but MS is the one that's most fucked from this announcement. They're the ones that are going to be seen as working with last gen philosophies.
The wiimote still has a bunch of advantages over the PS3 controller, but MS is stuck with what amounts to a very comfortable, functional, legacy controller.

This wouldn't be as big a deal if they had actually brought a strong content pipeline with them, but to charge so much after showing almost nothing? Sorry Sony. I'll wait for the content to ship before I even consider spending that much money. I like you and all, but Nintendo has burned all my good will with buying consoles without content.
If Sony doesn't deliver on a VERY strong launch, they will still be able to claim that it sold out... but not from people falling over themselves to get one. More to the point, why in the fuck would it cost $100 for another 40 gig drive? Anyone with a brain in their head will just get the tard pack and upgrade the drive later with a 300GB Best Buy special
What in the hell were you thinking?

Who is willing to bet AGAINST the fact that every single ps3 unitl released will sellout almost instantly (both 500 AND 600 dollar units)??
Why on earth should sony price it lower when they know they will sell em at that price? If you can't afford it, either get a job with better pay or miss out.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, this has been the most entertaining conference in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!!!!
Anyone wanna do a photoshop of that ugly n-gage girl with the $299 on her stomach, but with Sony's price instead? That would make my day even better.
