   I don't think that $399 is expensive considering the power of the machine. And I don't know if you remember, but xbox was $500.

   I think 399 is a good rollout price. Especially compared to the rollout price that MS asked for the 360. Of course they had the edge on the nextgen consoles since PS3 and Revolution were still in "development". I love my PS2 and held out on the 360 for the PS3. Now if we could only get them to box it with two wireless controlers and Hi-Def cables. ;-)

   If the $399 price-point is true, then it's going to kill XBox360 sales dead in their tracks.For $299 you can have a non-HD ready 18 month old DVD based Xbox360.For $100 more, you can have a brand new, cuting edge PS3, with Blu-Ray, HDD, HDMI ports, fully HD Ready, and PS2 catalog.If these rumours turn out to be true, PS3 represents a awersome amount of technology for the price, and a very cheap way to get a HD Ready player.
