While the {S3 may be worth 600, Why would I spend more than a momth's rent on a f'ing game system? Having read all the interviews in the game mags with Sony reps about the price, their arrogance is staggering.I can afford one, but I won't buy one. I refuse to support any company that's as arrogant as Sony in their thinking. Betamax, UMD, and now the PS3. I'll stick with my ps2, x-box and computer. It's quite clear Sony only cares about the money and NOT the consumer.
