It's the games that make the money.
Always the case.
Also, "less than $500" is hardly an achievement. Still a crapload of money.

Depends how much less than $500 it is. Not much good if it's $499.99 now is it.
If you actually take into account what that article is going on about (price always cheaper in Japan), you come back to the $500 mark.
Meh.
That's still £240.
Roxor.

Heh, it'll be more than that here.
The UK always pays more for consoles than the US does. It'll very probably be £300 here on release, or at the very, very lowest £250.

I reckon it will be a little different this time round as the PS2 came out along time before the xbox/GC were released and could get away with the high price.
I'd wouldn't be surprised by a £399.99 price tag, maybe £419.99 with one extra controller, and £449.99 for PS3, 2 controllers and 1 game bundled.
I expect, as always, it's the accessories that are going to be overpriced. I'd hate to hazard a guess at the price of a Sony PS3 Official Removable HDD.

The graphics cards they are using don't cost $1000.
I saw $449 touted yesterday. Planning on heading to the States before the year is out, might just delay it a couple of months and go next February/March and nab one whilst I am there.

I'm still undecided until I see some genuine in game footage and not pre-rendered stuff. However Sony can piece off if they are asking £350-400 at launch. I'd rather wait 3-6 months for the inevitable price drop.
