Dodece, there was nothing rational in your long winded post.
The PS3 never cost $900 to manufacture at launch, and it definitely isn't even remotely close to that now.
My personal opinion is that the 40gb Sony is eating between 50-75 USD, and about 25-60 on the 80gb.
My information is as good as yours, pulled out of thin air... Wait, I take that back. There were detailed reports that hashed out the costs of the PS3 to make the 60gb US version and since that time there have been many components and parts that have dropped significantly in cost.
Whats up with all the Sony hate tonight? Did the PS3 RROD your Xbox? Did it pee in your cheerios?
