Sony Has Said in a press release the PS3 gives "consumers the most features and functionality out of the box," and with no "immediate need to upgrade," it quickly becomes more attractive in comparison to the competition

In a press release clearly designed to combat the negative feedback concerning the system's price, Sony makes a very good point: you get what you pay for. Considering what the consumer receives right out of the box, the PlayStation 3 isn't so "pricey" as competitors claim.(1)

If you look at it technically.....PS 3 is cheap....i mean with the Blue-Ray player functionality....But if you only and only wanna play games on it....Then it becomes a little problem...:)

Guys Wake up !! PS3 is way cheap then xbox 360 in Pakistan !! Look at PS3 !! 7th Cell Processor !! With this much power it is worth more then $2000 !! Look at xbox 360 . What is it ? A Tri core system !! It can't match PS3 not in my eyes it can't !! Just get up and take a look at Ps3 and 360 Prices . Arcade costs 28K whereas 40GB PS3 costs 33K and even 20GB Xbox 360 costs 36K and 60Gb costs 38K !!

SO MUCH POWER :eek: ZOMG
yet games look almost identical on both the consoles

as for more than $2000 thing yeah say hi to C2E or better yet the Ci7
and so generous of Sony to sell a $2000 Processor in a $399 Console :S
Marketing fail
Look at PS3 !! 7th Cell Processor
Look at xbox 360 . What is it ? A Tri core system
While im in no way suggesting the 3 Core PowerPC iz better than Cell Processor but why do ppl do the
7>3 Math?
Cell Processor doesnt not have 7 Independent Cores they r more like Sub Cores designed to divide work load of I/O Sound Render Shading etc between the sub Cores
it iz in no way a 7 Core Processor :S
Arcade costs 28K whereas 40GB PS3 costs 33K and even 20GB Xbox 360 costs 36K and 60Gb costs 38K !
Dont quote prices in Pakistani markets man
anything which sells more becomes more expensive here
if ur including Pakistan then also include Piracy :8

not being a fanboy just pointing out some stuff

^ nice avatar btw!

anyway, i think this thread is different from the price cut thread.

i think this one is out because sony gave a comparison, between the three consoles.



sony states the fact that overall, over a year of use, the ps3 is cheaper than the x360.

the cost of the hdd isn't the main thing sony's stressing.....

..... it's their free psn service. xbl costs a certain amount every month.

plus the free wi-fi and stuff.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
