I don't believe those prices are official. Those prices should be a bit lower than Xbox360.. as planned I believe.

I haven't been excited about a FF game since X to be honest. And before that, VIII. So FFXIII should be a good one although it's not turned based. ;-)

The prices have been set in stone, unfortunately. I don't remember any plan to have the price lower than the 360's. (source?)

Ken Kutaragi has even gone on the record, before, and stated that the device will not be an easy purchase. And that was months ago! Might have not even been this year. Hmm.

My wallet cries when it sees those prices.

Risky business.

You should invest in the Wii, as well. A few Final Fantasy titles will be released for the console. You'll see many vids and screenshots of them come tomorrow. Maybe even today!

Originally posted by Yan Actually, it seems like all those options that will be removed can be restored with the 60 gig HDD. Considering the HDDs are removable, it shouldn't be too awkward to see people purchase the cheaper (but not really) bundle and only later on purchase the HDD which gets them the full capabilities of the PS3. Not a bad idea for those that are strapped for cash but still want to get their hands on some gorgeous games and good franchises.

Do you have a link to where you're getting that info from? Does that mean the 60gb hard drive will have an hdmi port, a card reader, and a wireless transmitter and cost $100?

My point though is that it's stupid for Sony to waste production capacity on the cheaper model when there will be plenty of demand for the more expensive one at least until the summer of 2007.

I doubt the HDD will be $100, standalone. I'm guessing $200, at best.

No linkage however, why else would the HDD be removable (there are a few reasons which might not bode well with my answer... lol. But read on, anyway)? Also, it would be totally unfair for the people to purchase a console and not be able to use it for it's intended purpose (superior graphics, wireless gameplay and compatability with various formats). Does Sony intend consumers to purchase a whole new PlayStation 3 to get all the things the lesser model doesn't employ?

It is! I'm not arguing that at all. I wouldn't be surprised if the 360 Core bundle will start disappearing off shelves, via Microsoft's orders, so as to only sell the Premium Bundle.

It's all just a matter of offering some affordable units, at start. Some people actually don't mind the "bare bones" version.

FUCK YA! Putting my money away already for this. Gonna splash for the 600.

My god, FFXIII looks amazing. Just saw the video. If that's how you play in real time, then Killzone's video is real time as well. Has to be.. 360 better watch out, seriously.
