    Heh, that doesn´t really sound real to me, but maybe it is true. No one would buy a console that expensive... Even though, the Blu-Ray Disc will be a new format, it still isn´t very fair to set the price doubled the Xbox 360´s price. That´s so stupid!

    It won´t even sell that much...

    You forgot to tell a few things >.>

    Link: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6144600.html

    It will cost $900 to make, but it includes a $100 optional hard drive. So thats $795(Read link) if you don't mind wait with a hard drive. Sony have with all their earlier consoles had a loss too, so it will drop around $100. As it says on GameSpot, it will probably cost $699(Without Hard Drive). ^_^

    lol
    I did say it was gona go to the £400-£500 mark

    In $ its 800-1000 :D

    Well to make the PS3 it costs more than $1000 on just 1 so there is a loss BUT every company faces losses as said in the first year but they gradually decrease the price so people buy them :D

    As long as there are no major problems - Its all good :D Every console is like that so everyone waits :D

    People will buy it - No doubt - You seen the specs and games on the PS3 compared to XBOX360 they are amazing -

    PS3 ftw :D

    No way, they have to compete price wise or they'll lose ALOT of money.

    I knew that it'd be about that price so i decided to get an xbox 360 :)
    and who ever said that before the 360 was released that it would cost alot more than the release price was wrong. Thats aroud the price that they had estimated it for.
