    If you compare PS3 functionality with other consoles, it is not a rip off.

    i thitnk its really expensive the sell it for £425 here
    while u can £200 can get u a Wii
    i think wii its more revolutionary in terms with gameplay
    PS3 will just be using a normal control pad and a friend of mine who just got a PS3 said they dont have enough games out get so he's just playing PS2 games on PS3
    get a Wii if u want something new

    The PS3 is not a total rip off. It's just a little rip off.

    not really if you think that you are getting a blue ray disc reader and a super computer for 600$....then again it's only a console

    just as a blue ray player its cheap..since the cheapest blu ray is about 800 or so till sony releases their sub 500 blu ray player.

    also if you add on the other stuff that its made to do...its not that bad of a price

    Well apparently Sony was making a loss on each unit they sold so can't be too much of a rip off. Heard they cut costs making smaller chips or something.

    Guess it depends on your budget and if you got a nice tv for those blu-ray graphics to show.

    Well, I don't think it's safe to say that the PS3 is a total rip off as of yet. All consoles, with the exception of a select few, may seem like a rip off when they first launch mainly because of the lack of titles. Just give it some time for Sony to redeem themselves.

    Well.....

    ....you do get a blu-ray dvd player for your money!
    I don't think it's a rip off, but I do think it's a lot of money, but when the price drops it will be well worth it

    Well its obvious at the beginning when its first out prices will be unfair. Its what you would call "market skimming". Just wait a few months and prices will be down.

    The price will drop in a year or so, I feel that the market price is quite unreasonable at the moment, and to top it off, there isn't much game to play with. I learned my early adopter mistake with the psp so i am gonna wait till the prices of the console is more reasonable and there are more games available for it.

    The hardware of the PS3 is good, blu-ray, graphics, etc.

    The thing is: it's too expensive, who buys expensive blu-ray dis movies, then you need a very good tv to hook it up to
