Again, for someone so seemingly anti-BD and anti-cheap PS3, why do you use the Sony nickname?

I was wondering that myself.

Maybe Toshiba1 would be a more fitting moniker?

I am not anti-Bd at all, I wish the PS3 would cost less than 500$ I am just simply be realistic given the current delays and production costs status. I find it hard to believe that the Blue-ray association is going to go along with a BD player at 600$ less than what will be the cost on late September

Well eventually Sony will give an actual price for their PS3. Until then we will continue to speculate amongst ourselves. I suspect though, that if they want it to be the huge success they need, they're going to have to price it for $499 or less. With everything they're promising this does indeed sound unlikely but Sony is kidding themselves if they think people are going to pay much more than that for what most consider to be just a new video game console.

SONY1, I didnt give any PS3 predictions. You did. I simply said give Sony time to give us the price before throwing in your 2 cents. Oh and no one but Sony really knows how much Cell, and Blu-ray will cost SONY to put in each PS3. You stating what you think could inadvertantly make someone think you know what your talking about. So just keep it quiet till Sony says so and then give your opinion based on facts instead of rumors. Oh and change your name to something that fits, like Rumor1 or MSowned. lol

Oh c'mon, let's keep it kind and polite here ok?

Back on-topic, I don't really care how many losses they are going to make... Fact is, Xbox360 is already a year in business here (PS2 was also a year ahead of Xbox) and PS3 better gets some fair pricing here. Let's face it, $500 is too much for a device most people just claim as a gaming console.
