"Sony set to divulge PlayStation 3 details

I came to post something on that, and I realized: That's a lot of cash for a console.

totally worth the money, i mean backwards compatible, it uses memory sticks from my cameras, reads blue ray disks... I will be buying one for sure. But ill just wait a year or two. i really do not play game so its not on top of my want list. But i do feel that price is fair.

so now that sony has blue ray... when is apple going to release their first computers with blue ray? Mr Jobs stated a few years back... Or was it last year. Man i forget all these darn keynotes he does... anyways... He said that is what Apple is going to use.

Sony and Microsoft are forgetting that more than anything else, these are GAMING MACHINES. The majority of people playing them are under 25 years of age. This demographic isn't exactly rolling around in cash. $499 for the cheapest version of the PS3 is RIDICULULOUS. I won't even consider it.

Actually there are more older gamers than young ones, Jawbone (Or at least that was the case at the inception of the PS2). That's why mature titles were such a hot market (a La GTA3).
