PS3 price announced.

Today at their pre-e3 press conference Sony announced the price of the PS3. It is $499 for a 20 GB HDD and $599 for a 60 GB HDD.

- I think Rick James said is best when he was on Chappelle show, "Cocaine is one hell ova drug." And it seems that one major electronics manufacturer has had one hit too many. With rising gas prices expected to continue do they honestly think that people will pay out this much money?

Now with the addons for the 360, the xbox and the cheapest version of the ps3 are about the same price, however addon games which will no doubt cost more and a controller which is rumored not to have the "shock" function and its not worth it for a good gaming experience.

Also how long do you expect the cheaper $500 version to last? I expect Sony to pull a Microsoft and say "oohh nooeess we seem to have run out of the cheaper version, guess your only choice will be the more expensive one." (^_^) Then Sony will probably discontinue the cheaper one towards the latter end of next year. With this Sony is skating on thin ice. At least they changed the batarang controller. hehe
