CPU - $70 ~lower than Trinity
GPU - $125 ~7850 minus memory
8GB GDDR5 ~$100
Motherboard $70
500GB HDD $60
BD drive $20
Case $50
Onboard ARM chip/other custom circuitry $10
Controller $60


$565 excluding software, tax, assembly and shipping

Now obviously Sony pays less. But also they have design costs to amortise and a free cloud service to run. I would say they make a $50 loss per unit at best.

Please tell me where you can find 8gb of GDDR5 Ram for $100, seriously i would love to know where these deals are because ive only seen them in GPU's and those are over $900.

I mean if they sold it seperate.

If not, GPU with 2GB GDDR5 - $150, 6GB DDR3 - $70. Same deal really.

Ok could you please link me too GDDR5 ram cuz i cant really find any, let alone for $100 even if they are sold seperate.

They don't, except in bulk. I used the bulk rate.

If you were building a PC, the substitute I listed will be suitable.
