If you thought $399 was expensive for a game console, wait till you hear the price rumors for the upcoming PlayStation 3. Many analysts are predicting that Sony will launch the PS3 at prices between $399 to $499 with the $499 being very likely. Most people believe that $499 is a more likely price – mostly because of the inclusion of the Blu-ray drive. Of course all of this could be a head fake from Sony. Who knows? They may end up releasing the new game console at a price point matching the new Xbox 360 or heck even lower! However that still doesn’t seem likely given the costs of developing this new box and the inclusion of such bleeding edge technology such as Blu-ray. Another theory is that Sony may consider following the route of Microsoft and offer a dual pricing strategy. Only time will tell of course but if you’re planning on getting the PS3 there’s only one certain thing. You better start saving cash.
