exactly, the PS3 is so much for so little i see it being bought by about 20 Super Playstaion fantics.

Well I think you need to do some research as you'll struggle just to get a Blu-ray DVD player for that money.

On the subject of companies losing money on the consoles. They all lose money on these things for a couple of years but they will make a nice profit off them in the long run. Otherwise there is no point in doing it, it doesn't make sense. Sony aren't out there to give us a bargain they are out there to make money. That's the only way to survive, not give things away.

Lots of people buy the consoles to sell onto desperate parents who are in a desperate rush to please their child and don't mind paying a few hundred £s more if it gets Xmas sorted out .

The PS3's a generation premature imo. At this time, most people don't have an HDTV or care about Blu-Ray. Next generation they will as HDTVs will be cheap and the BD/HD-DVD war will be over. The Wii has hit the right market at the right time- innovative gaming that's still a step up from the previous gen.

Or how about this

I think alot people miss the point with Blu-Ray. i don't think they want everyone to drop dvds and run out and get a HDTV. Fact is if you have a HDTV, they really isnt a good source to actually use it. So if u have a HDTV and really want see what it can do your prob gonna like it. Having blu ray sorta takes a little stress off developers, having so much space, i guess the sorta can think of a way to use it all.
