| I wish they just made one good one that works with everything and just ignored the bitching about the price. If you can afford to buy it for $500 and it costs $600 then it will come down to $500 in year or less. I would much rather full quality content across the board instead of appealing to peoples impatience when it comes to cost. It just leads to lowest common denominator-ness and creates confusion. |

The price alone is allready an entertainment. Microsoft has the strategy to accumulate the profit loss of console production via Live, Game licencing and so on, but Sony obviously decided that they should start with a insulting price, wait till the gullable guys and gals grab it, and when the sales begin to decline, lower the price to a point of reason.
Here's annother theory Billy, whatcha think?  |

Yeah, $599 in the U.S., €599 in Europe...
In the US, the prices are presented excluding the Sale tax (about 7-9%) that is added to the price. In Europe the shown price allways include VAT (15-25 %). Please correct me if I'm wrong... |
Yeah i think your right, 16% tax. Sill i can get the standerd xbox 360 up thhe road for €300 |

I wasn't a huge fan of the boomerang style controller, although I wanted to reserve judgment until I tried it for myself.
I feel safe knowing they modernized the standard PS2 controller design a little, because it is quite simply the best controller (apart from the snes one heheh)  |
