If true, it seems that Microsoft is jealous of Sony's PSP Go price model and decided to join the overprice party.

see that right there is what i was exactly talking about..

I just showed a web cam that by the way is not 3D and is not as good as the camera that Microsoft is putting out

•  2.0 M Effective Pixels
•  Up to 1600 x 1200 30 fps...
•  USB 2.0

and it's priced at $89.00

but it seem's many gamer's want the price to be less , when it's more expensive component's?

:P

 

but the web cam is a high end device sold with a large manufacturers markup designed to make a profit off of a relatively small number of sales. Natal is something people expected Microsoft to sell at a loss to get it into peoples homes. Sure the price is legitimate for the device and very possible but if MS want to sell a lot of them and market it is the next generation of gaming to coincide with the slim as a relaunch of the 360 people expected it to be cheaper. A lot of people will be turned off by this rumoured price. 

the fact that a lot of analysts like Pachter were saying $50-150 and may cost around $75-100 to manufacture means that this price seems high to a lot of people.

while I agree with what your stating, i am just stating that the cost is reasonable and is not over priced..people may expect that but I do not think it's fair to the companies. people may feel screw the companies :P, but without them there would be none of this, I do not want companies to price thing's too high also but when it's resonable in it's price I feel no problem paying for it at that price. as long as it's reasonable.

People may not agree with me, but that's just my take on it. Gamer's are too spoiled..lol
