Well, the non-crippled PS3 at Ã,£425 is Ã,£125 MORE than the PS2 at launch and will be Ã,£155 more than the 360 Premium, assuming MS dont have a price drop at or before the PS3 launch (which most people suspect they will).

I really cant see the advantage of PS3 over 360.

Which also makes the non-crippled PS3 still Ã,£20 more than the 360 PREMIUM.

I have a 360, and will buy a Wii also on launchday.

not really the PS2 at launch price in nov 2000 is equivalent to probably around 380 by nov 2006 so the PS3 is only 45 more (that is only an increase of just over 10% in real terms)

considering what youre getting for the price (60 gig HD, Blue ray drive etc..) compared to what youd get with the PS2 back in 2000 - the difference in the launch price is justified.

The PS2 was priced expensivly when it was launched and it still did very well - the PS3 is slightly more expensive in real terms but will probably still do well. XBox 360 et al may well be cheaper but the PS3 looks as though it will be a superior console

Are you seriously claiming 90% inflation in the last six years?

Hes been smoking his pipe again.... but only be $32.

We should still have our Fairchild Channel F console somewhere

Pity the damn controllers are nackered from long term use though
