shadow460 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) If I ever go to pick up a system on launch day, I'm taking a gun with me. Umm, wait. I don't own a gun, so I guess I won't be getting another system on launch day! You know what's weird, though...I went into game X Change this evening to buy Qix, and there wasn't a single word spoken about PS3 while I was in there. In fact, the place was just like normal--perhaps two or three customers in a down home game store looking for something to entertain their kids for a while. An' there was some redneck collector in there who got Blitz SE for the '64. No idea who that was. Oh, hi, Nova. Long time no see.

Uzumaki Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 What I don't get is why are Sony selling PS3 cheaply. The actual cost is like $800 for the 20GB model and a bit under $900 for 60GB. Sony could have sold the entire initial shipment on eBay and made killings. Plus no mugging, mob, riots, burglaries, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony could have sold the entire initial shipment on eBay and made killings. Plus no mugging, mob, riots, burglaries, etc.. Because thats too much for a game console, if it were not a game system and an piece of audio/video/media hardware like a reciever or a stereo system then people would buy it but most people think of game systems as toys and $800 - $900 for a toy is unfeasible, by lowering the price they make it abit more reasonable to spend so much in the consumers eye. Would you spend $900 on a game console at retail? I know I wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I wouldn't. i wouldnt pay over $300 for any console, but with that said these systems arent consoles they are computers that play games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
