It would have to be $300ish for me to consider it. Maybe if I were still a hardcore gamer like I was in my teens I could justify it, but now that I'm hitting the big 3-0 I don't have the time to justify paying over $300 for a machine I'd probably only use a few times a week. I use the wii everyday, but it's often for just short little spurts.

 A little off topic, but if you have a Wii try Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree.  The remote is suprisingly accurate in that game and it works better than other Wii game.  You generally have to finish the puzzles as quickly as possible and you have to be fairly accurate too so the remote has to be good.  The game isn't a shooter, but it does show how accurate the Wii Remote can be and proves that an FPS is possible on the Wii.  I would actually say that I'm about as accurate with the Wii Remote in that game as I am with a mouse.

I don't own a PS3. Since my brother owns one and we live in the same residence I don't see myself buying a PS3 at all unless he moves. Now if he does move, I could see myself picking up a PS3 once it gets down to $200. I honestly don't have enough to play the consoles I already have. The 360 lineup this year hasn't been making it any better. I've pretty much put my DS in a closest because I just don't have time to play it. I used to play it at work but that was before it got busier here. I am trying to get out of the habit of buying a new game before I complete what I already own, but I haven't been able to do so as of yet.

It really depends on the price cut, if I could pick up a 60GB PS3 for $400 and there was at least 5 games I want to play I would buy one. Right now there are only 4 games on my list and all 4 have only been announced (not even released) and one of them I still think is unlikely will be ever released.

At the current price point it would take 10 games for me to be willing to buy one.

Wait, they're putting Team Fortress 2 on consoles too? Oh god...what has this world come to...

To answer... Yes I would feel cheated if the console suddenly went to say...$400.
I do not think that would be very consistent with price drops of the past for other systems & I don't think I'd be alone in that feeling.

I understand that prices ddrop and early adopters get the shaft, but a price drop of that magnitude would be... what's the word I'm looking for?

Lame

This of course would not stop my buying habits but I would be very cautious to ever buy a Sony product at release ever again.

I would think about it around $300 but by then, the 360 will be at $250 or less! So I'll probably end up buying the 360 instead to sit next to my Wii. I just really want to play HALO3 when it comes out! That and Gears kicks ASS.

Blue3, Resistance does look good but it's mainly the price of the PS3. And I know I will be waiting for at least two years for the price to come down to my level of acceptance.

if it was 400...i would probably get one. 500? maybe if i had some awesome games..but since i own a 360..and 360 is getting alot of FPS that the PS3 is getting. I dont really see a reason to get a ps3...like alot of people are saying..it would need alot of exclusive game for me to get it,,,

As a PS3 owner I would welcome a price cut if that means the current negative bias against the PS3 by many mainstream media would improve and the userbase is significantly expanded, for the long run benefitting everyone.

However I won't like huge discounts to come to the expensive of Sony's employees (such as lay-offs) or its quality of service (PSN, quality of used materials [like X360 overheating/scratching/etc], developer support, constumer care. etc). IMO more than a 100 USD price cut seems far too far from reality and I think would require damaging trade-offs for the company and userbase at this point.

 I guess the whole "mass market" is just full of people with unrealistic goals, then, because the xbox is at $400 now with a TON of great games and it isn't selling well, still.  But, then, that's the problem.  Until it DOES reach the mass market price point (sony has admitted it is probably $299), I don't expect that big volumes of PS3s (or 360s for that matter) are going to move.
