You're saying in 18-24 months that PC power will be available for $300 or less? Because the PS3 is eventually getting a price cut.
Eventually yes. Although eventually that PC won't be even thought of as a powerful PC. I remember back in the day of '98 I got a PC for 300 which lasted me until WC3 came out (whatever year that was).

...
I'm not talking eventually like the distant future, I'm talking eventually like sooner than 18-24 months, the timeframe you mentioned before.  So if, by that time, a $400 computer is as powerful as the computer outlined above, it will no longer be as cheap as the PS3. 

Are you saying you'll be able to get the same performance for $300 in two years? because that's what the PS3 will cost (at most) by then.  Maybe that's a reasonable position to take; I don't follow things closely enough to make that kind of extrapolation. 

And ... you got a computer in 1998 for $300 that could play WarCraft III?  Tell me more.  I mean, my family had a computer from 1998 that (I think) could play WarCraft III, but it cost more like $1300.  Retail bought, but still.  (It had a 400MHz P.II, which happens to be exactly the minimum required by WCIII.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
