wow, US$500... and that's LOWBALLING it. people are writing off the purchase of this thing on the lowest projected price... even though the sony exec said it would launch for much higher overseas.
you have to expect that the box will include only the console, basic power/av cables, and a single controller. a few games and extra contollers will easily set you back another $300.
((3 games X 60)+(3 controllers X 35)) = 285
add in 8% sales tax: that's ~$870 for a very basic setup... if you want to be optimistic about it.
i shudder to think what the gamestop/ebgames combo packs will cost.
the ps3 will be sweet, but i know i can't justify spending this much on a game machine.
