It isn't overpriced, as the technology being used (i.e. Blu-ray diodes, cell processors etc.) is quite expensive.

Problem is that Sony dug their own hole by using such expensive components in order to push their Blu-ray technology. They are making a huge loss off each PS3 console, and will continue to do so until parts become cheaper to manufacture.

Sony stand to lose $100 on each console until the technology becomes cheaper to implement. So how can it be labeled as overpriced?

The fact that they didn't even sell-out on their launch in the USA (both the 360 and the wii did) indicates that its over-priced.

Blu ray player = $1599 pplz
computer with the power of a ps3 = $1000 aprox (without screen)
ps2 = $200 aprox
ps1 = $70
DVD player+ = $100

If it's too expensive for you guys just do a trade-in at Game Wizards. They got this deal where you trade in either an Xbox or PS2 and 10 games and you only pay only $699 for it instead of $999.

the ps3 should be like $3000 for what it contains, and they're giving it to us for under a thousand, where lucky to be getting it for that much

Of course the wii playing kiddies are going to think its expensive, thats ok because the ps3 is not aimed at you guys any way. Why dont you just snuggle up to mums titty with your chocolate milk and wait till December for your next decent exclusive. Just leave the next gen gaming to the core gamers, and stick to waving your wands around at your gamecube lite's.

I've owned every console nintendo has ever made including the virtual boy. I like my DS lite even though 6 hours of metroid ruined the R shoulder button! M+L partners in time was a crack up. I just think they lost the plot with the wii, you reach out to the casual gamers through accessories you don't base the whole console around them. It really grinds my gears that i'm not going to see zelda in 1080p for at least another six years. Not launching with an online games service was unforgivable.
Nintendo are getting too cheap and its starting to show, lets face it the only decent games on the wii will be the exclusives. At the rate there going its going to be a struggle to match the cubes library and that wasn't exactly expansive, pikmin 2 being the cubes only "true" classic.

u say there arnt many good games on wii. well i could say the exact same to u. the only game that looks any good to me is final fantasy 13, that game would be the only reason i would buy a ps3 untill any other *GOOD* non-racing/sport games arrive, which will be a fair while to come; and by then the wii's game drought will be gone and there will be some good games arriving constantly. >:0
im no sony hater. its just when u bring nintendo/wii into this and give it ****, when the ps3 isnt looking much better if that at all from reviews in US.

I wouldn't diss the Wii, it's the best move Ninty have done in a LONG time... release a souped up Gamecube with extra functions and sell it for a premium price I heard it costs Ninty about $50 to make a Wii, so that's how much profit from each console? Better than Sony (losing money on each PS3 due to the hardware and production costs being so high) or M$ (dumping a LOT of money into initial production and continual dumping of money to try and sell the console in japan)... Well done on that front to Ninty

No you couldnt joytendo, because i own a 360 which is loaded with good games. I used to be a nintendo fanboy but i woke up. When nintendo decide to put the gamers first like they did with the n64 snes etc i'll support them again. But i wont buy a wii till jim bob's bargin basement is selling them for $80 which should be around next xmas.
