Computers sell for more because they do other things then gaming. Even if they did just game though, they'd still be an alright deal, you can get emulators so its like all the consoles combined into one.static_ice wrote:did you try Resident Evil 4? that's like the second best game on the system, IMO... or you could just buy the Wii versionArbustos wrote:Yep, although it still doesn't redeem it as a console.

Fun Fact: Did you know? The Gamecube was actually more powerful than the PS2, at least thats what I heard, and you can tell from comparing screenshots of RE4![]()
computers sell for more because they attract more committed gamers. Consoles are meant to be more casual and accessible by more financially-limited people. It doesn't matter if its a bargain, it still costs more. That's like trying to convince a homeless person to buy a multi-million dollar estate because he can get 90% off. He still can't afford itMinister Mas ket wrote: Why should £300 be a top figure? Computers usually sell for well over that mark.
Don't forget that it costs about £850 to make a PS3, yet you can buy one for £425. Bargain!
Also don't forget that there will be a price drop come next year. There always is.

and there was already a price drop. Tell me, have you ever taken a business class? Businesses drop the prices of a product when the product isn't selling enough, and if the PS3 is dropping AGAIN then that's saying loads

Normally price drops are just natural deterioration and the product becoming old and replaced. The PS3 isn even a year old, and theres been a price drop or two. Because Sony themselves dropped the prices, it means that the PS3 is not selling as well as they wanted it too.
They will have to drop the price to about £250 before Christmas if they want to realistically catch up witht he 360, never mind the Wii.
So does the PS3.cawck wrote:Computers sell for more because they do other things then gaming

Who the f*ck would want to do all that on a console? Your pretty much saying its a very shitty computer that still can't emulate stuff. Also, all the consoles have price drops, once they work out the bugs and are able to manufacture them cheaply, I don't see why that matters though, because its still an overpriced retarded system that only retards buy. And if you've already bought it then why do you care if its price goes down in the future? That just means yours is going to be worth less (moot point, as its already worthless).Minister Masket wrote:In which case the PS3 wil be considered a bargain and will sell, sell, SELL!Titanic wrote:In North America there has been a price drop.
