How much did you pay for the Wii OP? $200+ am I correct? (I think my mom bought one for 250ish)

Yeah, I bought it from the second shipment, and there were more than 3 games announced that I wanted. It's not just "Well this console costs as much as your others did, so you shouldn't whine!". It's because the PS3 doesn't have as many available games that I want ... You know, value for the money I'm spending and all that. Why do half of the people posting in this thread not think that makes sense? :x

A bluray player itself costs around $199. So it should at least be worth more than $199. Even if you don't care about Blu-ray, objectively the PS3 should be worth more than a stand alone Bluray player with its added features (playing games)

But it's not. I don't want bluray. Why should it be worth $200 to me when I don't want it? I'm not buying a blu-ray player, because I don't want a blu-ray player. I'm looking to buy a games console. The blu-ray is a non-factor in my purchase.

But that's like me saying that a diamond should be worth a penny (or free) because I can care less about it. If you're saying that you believe that a PS3 is worth $199 I understand, but all I'm saying is that based on the current prices of things, it doesn't make sense that the PS3 should be valued at only $199 when you look at its features. Even if you don't care about the other features, currently the PS3 is being sold with those features, and Sony spent money adding those features in the factory.
