Thread has been moved to the Playstation Chat section as its nothing to do with a 360.

Where is the proof that the games will cost this much? provide a link if you can otherwise it is just rumours.

[Fleeboi]

There hasn't been any information on PS3 games yet has there?

[Blaze Lord]

They haven't set any hard details, but I think they said it will be higher, and they might have even said it won't be more than eighty pounds. Or eighty dollars. I forget. It was a while ago. Slightly more than 360 games, iirc.

Wow 70 a game?

[linkofhyrule]

I can see it happening since they use Blu-Ray discs instead of DVD, which cost $10 more, and since they might be putting more content in since the disks are so big.

No, I do not want to pay $70-80 whatever for PS3 games.

[phatmuther]

if they make the game £70 each, sony really are dead in the water, NO-ONE is gonna buy games that cost 1/2 that of a Wii

The first few generations of PS3 games will use BD-9 discs: blue ray discs that hold 'only' nine gigabytes. Easier to produce, and no more content since the discs are the same size. Sony is going to charge more because they think a PS3 game, no matter how big it is, is a higher value than the PS2 game. They're charging for the 'experience' of it all. Pretty much the same reason 360 games are higher. Except, you know, it's a higher markup, because Sony's implying that the PS3 is more next-gen. They've convinced themselves that a higher price means they can make more money per game and sell more consoles.

[LiamKenna]

If this is the price for a PS3 game I think Sony will have a song sung fo them. And it gos a little like this, join in if you know the words...
Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah whey hey hey Goodbye.

[WACCOE]

:o

Why are you letting your son have a PS3?

It'll cost you more than what it's worth, honestly.


I don't want any arguments by this post, btw. :)

I can see many kids wanting a PS3 especially come christmas time Thornbag. Kids always want the latest console so its of no real surprise to me.

Yes and they don't know any better really, they probably think it looks cool and since it's the most expensive, it has to be the best.

[phatmuther]

its not that, its the name, playstation

[Blaze Lord]

Yeah, it's the name. I don't remember many friends of mine when I was a kid drooling over a Neo Geo or, uh.. The other one. You know? The other console that sets the trend that a $600 price point is a deathmark? I made this post a couple months ago, with a graph? One of you remember this, please.

Anyways, yeah. It's not the price, it's the name.

[HotFish]

Games are going to be priced from £49.99 to £59.99 (poss beyond). Sis - in -law runs an HMV and that's what the sheets say so for now.

The machines we know £425, cheaper one is not out for a few months after the initial batch. Deposits/Pre-orders are £150 for the system to stop ''people mass selling them on e-bay and alike'', no it's to cover the re-payments on their loans.

Keep them people will pay that, but not for long. You may already notice that some stores are starting to sell their 360 games at £39.99 well expect that the norm very soon, so perhaps £30 in tesco's/play

Cya's

:geek:

[phatmuther]

haha, im getting one for ebay :D
make a tidy little profit :cool:

[WACCOE]

Same Phatmuther, im going to try and get one from Tesco liek I did with my 360, then sell it on eBay.

There's no way I will lose money on it.

[phatmuther]

There's no way I will lose money on it.

exactly, theres definatly gonna be shortages, especialy if 2x the amount of people are gonna try and get it, plus i get discount off so ill make even more profit :D

how much do you reckon they'll go for with 1 game on ebay?

Drats, got there before me. Yes, if you take a look at Amazon and Play.com, they are taking pre-orders for PS3 games for £49.99 so I'd guess the RRP would be £59.99.

[Superbean]

Hey me being a kid i no that a phew years back it was all PS2 and GTA, but now everyone plays Xbox so i dont think many kids are actually intressted in the PS3 and neither are the parents at that price lol.:|

[mjmaskrey]

Well I just hape anyone looking to make money on pre-ordered consoles get's ripped off by a dodgy buyer....that'll learn you!

Gamecentral (ITV TELETEXT)...Also various 360 mag's.

[Fleeboi]

I was thinking of an Ebay scam this go around, I know people who made over £1000 doing it with the 360's, it's very wrong yes, but it's the parents who will fork over something stupid to get their kid a console that are the idiots.

[crashlock]

I'm sorry but kids that get a £450 console come this christmas are mega spoilt. No way would my parents buy me something just because I wanted it. They would weight up the cost of something first. And my parents are very generous.
I think the price tag of the PS3 is more like it was for the PS1 back in the days before it exploded. It was a machine for the well off working adult(s). Who had plenty of disposable income to entertain themselves with. Back then it was nothing like the family friend it is today.

You mean £250 for a picture of a PS3.

:D

[Fleeboi]

OMG, thinking about that, I remember seeing an item on eBay that was the most funniest thing ever, it was a xbox 360 box that he was selling, but not even the official box, he made it himself with a white box and black marker and he said in his opinion it looks even better than the official version. There was bids for £400 quid because people are so stupid to read the description. Looking forward to see what crazy itmes will be up this time around.

[leeeee35]

I don't think there is going to be shortages, people are wiser now they will wait like they did with the ps2, it was released in 99 but didn't take off untill 2002.The 360 was different it was cheap enough that's why there were shortages.

And the ps2 was the same that was very expensive too.So i don't think many people are going to rush out and buy this console yet, like i said they will play the waiting game.
