WTF? -- PS3

Ok, first off....
WTF is with this ad for PS3?

Anyway, Sony just released the price for the upcoming PS3 game console. There will be 2 models to choose from; 20 gig and 60gig. Price?
$500
and $600!!!!!

*ahem* Are you fucking kidding me?!!!!
My sympathies to parents around the globe.

Seriously - 500 Bucks?!! What the hell does this thing do --
Your Taxes, make gasoline and give a blow job?

JimSmash, blah blah blah.

Yeah - pretty dumb.

It costs them $800 to make them this year and a little less each year after until they make a profit around 2008. You may see a price drop in 2008 or '09 or when Microsoft comes out with the next XBox.
Sony plans on having this machine around for quite a while though. Break down that $600 into 12 years and you're only spending $50 a year on it. (Don't even think about getting the $500 model cuz it's shite.) Yeah it'll be around for 12 years. Look at the life cycle of the PS2 if you don't believe me - it's STILL selling for $150. At year #6 (or 7?) it's still going strong. And the PS3 is prepped to do way more. ('cept get you off, sorry Jimbo - you might not like the scratches from the sleek metal on this hotty.)

All that - I won't get one for a while. Just can't justify shelling out the $$ for a computer that only plays games. I'd rather have another computer... at least for now. I'll get it when there's a killer app. I never got a PS2. I was waiting for this one.

thanks, spacejase!

yeah, we bought a PS2 when it came out and it died 3 years later. Grrrrrr....

Like you said, for this amount of money, I might as well just buy a PC and play games off that PLUS do other stuff on it. Maybe in 2-3 years, when the price comes down a bit...

But until then, my money needs to go towards gasoline! Perhaps I'll buy a Prius and a PS3 at the same time. Hmmmmm....... There's an incentive - Toyota and Sony team up! "Buy a 2007 Prius and get a free PS3!" like they did with mountain bikes a couple years ago.
heh
