thats what it says $250 and $299?  lol yea right

and no not going to click on links.   not goign to give people my views

but i'm sorry its impossible to believe that the NGP based on what i have seen that it can be as cheap as $250.  What did the PSP's come out as?  how much was the PSP Go when released not to long ago?  So please tell me then how they can sell this for $250?  What are they planning on losing a fortune for each system sold?

So basically what you're saying is that NGP is going to cost more for Sony to manufacture than a PS3 despite having lower specs, significantly less hardware material, and being much smaller and cheaper to ship in mass quantities.

It sounds to me like you simply aren't familiar with how much things cost.

quick though process.  the psp go came out what $250?

is that not smaller by a long shot than this?  is that not WAY behind in features and graphics and touch screens and you name it? 

and that was not too long ago at all.  i would laugh my ass off if this came out at $250.

how abotu we also look at sony's track record.  Not ONE system has ever came out for less than $300 when first released.  With seeing how all tech sites seem to be wanting to throw teh ngp the tech award of the year already, how can you honestly believe that this amazing piece of hardware will be their cheapest system EVER.

 

Oh and lets not ignore Sony as a corporation.  EVERY single product they have is the expensive product.  They are never the mass market priced.  Their TV's, Stereos, you name it are always the upper end priced ones. 

Come again? The original PSP as well as the massively inflated PSP Go both released at $250. You're untrue blanket statement that all Sony devices and systems are expensive and more than $300 can be countered by the fact that Sony has never released a handheld system for more than $250. Also you aren't seriously using the PSP Go price as a guage for NGP I hope. The Go's price was marked up considerably since it doesn't use physical media. Sony and retailers probably earn over $100 of profit off of the device, hense why its sales are utterly, utterly dismal. Sony has already stated that they will be selling the NGP at a loss so unless the system has some technology that we haven't been told about, $300 should be the maximum price we see for the Wi-Fi only model and $250-$280 isn't unbelievable at all really.
