Yes you are correct to an extent. But you do realize that you have to quadrouple the amount of needed memory assuming of course that the PS3 is really going to use 4GB if GDDR5. Yes probably the price has come down but your still probably looking at $80 to $100 for just the memory. And you still need to factor in the CPU cost and cooling and the case and power supply and things of that nature. There is no way it can be done for $400.

I think you are everpricing the component parts... 4GB DDR3 cost less than $20 in the retail market... it's even cheaper to manufature... the GDDR5 can be expensive (or not) but I know it is DDR3 based... so memory is no way $80 to $100.

The Orbis will be released at $350 (that's my prediction).

The components parts are cheaper and not expensive for manufacture... that super PC you paid $800 cost less than $400 to manufacture... the cost for Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo is manufacture cost not retail market price.
