What will you want based on the many SKU's?

Cell and Blu Ray is standard though.

In other words, build your own PS3(or 360)

That's why they are a crappy computer company and not a crappy console company. I'll stick to my homemade PC.

This is more of a wishful topic as i aint suggesting them to do that. But alot of ppl said PS3 really has features ppl dont use.

I rather have a 20GB, no wi fi 2 USB, EE, no wireless controllers My PS3 will cost $199

But not. The cell and Blu-Ray drive top that by themselves.

basically the only thing you would be able to customize is the size of the hard disk and if you want Wi-fi. Its not worth the effort to provide such a service.

this would only really work with a console that is made to sell for a profit.

200? i doubt it

the card reader is a couple bucks

same thing with the usb ports.

hdds for 20 to 60 isnt that much money.

and i would put wifi at 50 bucks a pop.

your ps3 would not get down to 200.

Dell also builds the computers as they are ordered at a substantial cost compared to self-built systems.

Do you want to wait 2-3 weeks for your PS3? I wouldnt.

Considering you can go into a store now and get the system right away, yes I think that is long.

With custom PS3's comes a higher cost due to having all these different components and sku's in stock at all times.

Why has MS sold a defective console for almost 2 years without an effective soltuon to fix it? Because people will still buy it.

Please don't bring up the 360 on the PS3 board, even as a throw-away parenthetical at the very end of an otherwise-acceptable post. :)
