im just stunned by this, its amazing how much effort Sony put into this, and the price is actually far from what i expected, i thought that it was going to be around 800 dollars. I mean if you actually take a second and digest everything that the PS3 has, then i think that 600$ is worth it. plus, i dont get what the big fuss is all about, i acutally amused that so many people would complain, just over which is better in value, and which is more ridiculous to pay for, and how much it costs. I mean, if you want to buy it, then buy it, Too expensive? then just dont and be quiet and let other playstation and sony customers and fans be happy, instead of complaining that the PS3 is a piece of krap compared to other consoles and thats its not worth it.
