Yeah, im buyin' the $600 price tag PS3 (given that i get that job as soon as i graduate). I mean, it seems more than reasonable because you'll eventually upgrade to all the things Sony takes out of the $500 bundle. On top of that, i get so sick of hearing how its SO expensive when compared to the Xbox (not that Cruz was comapring). But anytime a price-point is mentioned about the PS3, think to yourself...that graphics card is worth more than the system your paying for. Its a good deal man. All i really worry about though is their line-up of games which doesn't seem too bad. Though i may end up waiting a bit to see the extended line-up of games. on top of that...no paying for 'Sony Live'...so they say.
