I remember getting my PS2 from Game on launch day as an early xmas present from the folks. Got a PS2 + Extra Pad + Memory card + Stand + SSX + Timesplitters + Tekken Tag. Came to the silly price of around £500. Crazy it was considering that was just my xmas present, my parents must have been crazy to spend all of that. I was just expecting the console and one game. Happy days!
It's most probable that I'll have no choice but to get one at launch. I might get a hefy discount, however.
Deep down though, there really isn't much I'm looking foward to. Impressive demos, but most are pre-rendered and overhyped. The genuinely good games are cross platform.

I remember my local market had a Japanese one on sale for around £700 with a Tekken Tag demo, everyone who walked past used to jism over how good it looked.
I got slapped bloody Import Tax on my PSTWO - b*stards - will never order from Import Madness again, set of jokers they are.
As long as it isn't something crazy like £500 then I am in from release me thinks. As soon as I can pre-order one I will be doing - along with the sexually spanking Devil May Cry 4.

Isnt that what we payed for the PS2 when i came out? I dont remember.
The price doesnt appear to be as high as i expected.

They won't have the advantage of being first on board this time. It'll have to be nearby to the 360's price, unless then can pull off a jism of exclusive games.
You just know Sony will bump the price up loads.
$440 is £250-300.
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.
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'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.
