APU (CPU/GPU) - 85-90

Of course I don't know much about Sony's contracts with AMD, but $90 for an 8-core CPU and a DX11 GPU combined sounds a bit too low to be believeable.

As I keep saying, non-PC people have no idea how affordable PC components are now.  

 

I could build a Wii U level gaming build for ~$300 or less.

Edit: I just built something stronger than the Wii U for $280:

Funny dude, I am a PC guy. And somehow your APU does not have eight cores^^

But I agree, console people vastly overestimate what it costs to build a good PC.
