confirmed by the EU Sony rep, Saying its a bargin, and going on about how blue ray drives will be £600-700 so its cheap as chips.
They making a loss on it yeah, but i would not call it cheap.
I think Sony and Nintendo will come out same week and Nintendo Wii will be dirt cheap and sell better then the PS3. As a whole before xmas a parent will bet a wii or 360 over a ps3 down to sheer cost, only the hardcore ps fans will be picking it up for a while, complete the games and get bored waiting for it.
One concern i have is that the wii controler so far looks easy to use, comfy and games made well with it.
I know its all early for the PS3 controler but videos i have seen of people using it, it does not look like you can play a game that uses it for very long and your wrists will not be to keen.
I still love that card game using the eyetoy though.
