$500... That won't even cover the drive cost... They're not going to lose twice the price on each console.

No, he's right, it won't be more than $500.

But I figure you might want like a game or two with that, and maybe a 2nd controller if your a fan of multiplayer.

PS3 + Game + Controller = $600+ easy

(something ppl don't think about a lot: the tax on $500 is like 35 bucks)

Pshhh, 1 game... I had three games for my GC within a month of getting it. Games will likely be $60. They're doing a centralized gaming service supposedly, so, subscription fee is likely. Since the 360 is being produced at the same price (So long as you've got a brain), people have complained about upwards of $700 in full prices including games and accessories.

Wow, $700 is quite a bit of money but still, your going to be able to play your previous vast library of playstation games on the playstation 3, I dont really about spending that much money.

And Nintendo has 64 billion: and they are all playable on the Revolution.

Thus, Revolution, and thus Nintendo, is the king of backwards compatability...

Don't make me do a logic problem...

Playstation 2 has some good games to play. God of War, you've got your ratchets, and your clanks, and your jaks and daxters... And I guess final fantasies... That's about what I can think of. Oh, guitar hero, but I doubt it will work with the new wireless deal the new controllers run on. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

I, of course, am in no way implicating that four generations of nintendo games are eclipsed by these.
