It's 399 dollars. It's overpriced. No amount of features and value that Sony "adds" to the console can change that simply little general assuption. I'm a gamer, my friend. I'm not trying to combat my own cognitive dissonance, or justify my purchases. I want to buy a Playstation 3, not a Blu-Ray player. Nobody has a choice though. Sony forced you to buy a Blu-Ray player. They forced you to, my friend. You had no choice. None. It wasn't necessary. Saying it is, is ignorance. Let me explain. If I sell you a hamburger for 50 cents. Then I say, "But wait! To buy this hamburger, you also have to buy this blu-ray player with it, which will cost you 199.99. It's a GREAT VALUE. You can eat the hamburger on top of it, like a plate. With a big-mac, you have to use your own plate." Then, am I giving you a good deal? Isn't that also an excellent value? Or, instead, am I just being an asshole, and trying to market you a Blu-Ray player via the bait/and/hook method?
Yes, that is why your argument is biased. It's from the point of view of a product and its value. It doesn't factor in anything besides that, like the needless tacking on of expensive devices. It's spin. It's Sony PR. It makes no sense, and it makes me sick, sir. |

Great answer! :)
