I don't know... I'm a bit astonished. 600$ for a PS3 isn't a highway robbery. YES. The price is reasonable. I live in a pretty poor country and all these complaints regards price are extremely weird for me. About games... right now I pay 189 pln ~ 65$ for a PSP game (!) It's a lot of money. 600$ - it's something I would love to pay for PS3 (I have to pay 800$, and ~75$ for a game) How can you complain? You trying to convince everyone here that console-price should be almost imperceptible for you home budget. No it shouldn't - it's a big deal. Everything is a matter of importance. I can relax with games - so it's important for me. For example I will never pay "real money" for a mobile phone. I'm using SE k750i which I got for less than 20$ (with service plan) but I can assure you there will be a lot guys and gals who will pay $600 for this crap from Apple. Don't use one measure for everyone. Don't throw flames on people who likes electronic entertainment more than you.
