There has been alot of talk about how much the next consoles will cost. IGN posted an article last night with their views on the upcoming consoles prices.

http://insider.ign.com/articles/637/637491p1.html (Only IGN insiders can read this link)

Basically, it suggests the Xbox 360 will cost $300-$400 (based on speculation from net talk), the PS3 will cost $500-$100 (based on a statement from a PS3 rep), and the revolution will the be the cheapest (no price suggested in the article). I don't know about you, but a console that costs more than a PC is bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong. I love all systems, but I'd definitely have to wait for a price drop before I would consider a PS3. It's looking like you will be able to get a 360 and a Revolution for the price of one PS3. So this begs the question: How much are you willing to pay for a next-gen console?

UPDATE 8/1/05

Now that it's been confirmed that the PS3 is gonna be really expensive http://ps3.ign.com/articles/638/638074p1.html , Are you still gonna get that PS3 come launch time?

sony is probably going to be around 400.

id pay 400 for sony, probably even 500, but then again, not everyone can afford that, and its not going to cost that much.

for 360 i wouldnt pay more than 350.

the revolution so far im not to interested in.

500 Euro's is the standard price new consoles were at launch in the past.. so thats the price i'm wiling to pay for it..

Altough with the DS and PSP resleases the prices were closer together, a DS costs 150 euro's and the PSP will cost 250..

So maby the trend will continue.. 300 euro's for a 360 would be sweet:D

Oh and 500 Euro's is 606 dollars at the moment..

Xbox 360 - 300 not a penny more.

Ps3 - Im going to wait until I see more information and games, Ken said it is going to be expensive.

Revolution - I dont even know what the controller is.

I'd pay no more than five hundred dollars for the Playstation 3.

For the Xfox, I'd pay no more than three hundred.

For the Revolutionary, I'd pay no more than two hundred.

So far, only 6 people say they would pay more than $500 for a console. It could be a long hard road for Sony.
