Do You Think PS3 is overpriced?? Think again

Do you still think PS3 is overpriced??

**Perseid** · 11-22-2006,04:09 AM

Absolutely. $600 is too much for a box that plays games and movies. Period. And I don't care how much it costs to make.

I can see why they say that table is "preliminary".

Most of the core components don't jump out at me as being ridiculous, but I have a hard time swallowing an "I/O bridge controller" that costs more to manufacture than the EE+GS, not to mention more than the retail price of an entire budget PC mainboard. I'd sure love to see the specs on that sucker.

They have $148 worth of "other components and manufacturing", and then another line of "other components and manufacturing" for $2.50, and then another line for $39-40 of "manufacturing costs", none of these really specifying what actual components or processes they're talking about.

Pardon me if I don't take their numbers too seriously.

I'm thinking...

Yes, PS3 is overpriced...

But 'course I'll buy one... don't know when... maybe in two or three years... my wife and me were planning to have a baby... but I preffer a PS3... = )

Overpriced, yes. All new technology is. Think about the price on a top of the line graphics card. It is expensive because it's new and in demand. However, compare the price to units that just play blue ray DVDs. If you want the tech when it's new you have to pay.

Yea well of course it will be expensive, but I don't think it is overprice.

For now it seems like it, but it's not really over price, Considering what the originator of the thread displayed.

A blueray itself is more then a PS3, so it is a good price.

If blu-ray drive being released to the market i think the price of the drive would be $250-$300

**kidman64** · 11-23-2006,06:17 AM

there're blu-ray players on the market, and they're far more expensive than ps3 (1000-1200$), and ps3 does a better job playing BR discs than those players (according to ign)

**gendouhydeist** · 11-23-2006,06:43 AM

is that so damn its too expensive to buy bdray drive

**barf** · 11-23-2006,07:35 AM

I'll buy one too, but it's not worth the price until HDLoader works.

or MacOS X is able to run on it.
