I could be wrong, but wasn't some Sony exec quoted as saying they could release the system with no games on launch day and it'd still sell out? I feel like they think their customers are brainless sheep. I own a PS2, so I'm not saying we ARE sheep, but they sure seem to think we'll follow them wherever they lead. First party Wii games are still supposed to be $50. Yippee! The thing that bugs me most is that Sony doesn’t seem to think these are unreasonable characteristics of their system.

People are already making their voices heard over $60 games and now they want them to be even MORE expensive? I had already heard that the PS3 would be available in VERY limited numbers, so it would not surprise me if they have even less available than the 360. And probably half of those will break, knowing how Sony has had problems with their previous systems! But, all things considered, I still want a PS3 (eventually), but I will definitely be waiting until the price is more affordable (not that I can't pay $600, I just don't WANT to!).
