Or is the $600 price tag justified because it is such a high-tech system...

The 600 price point is justifiable because of the Blu-ray. Blu-ray is relatively new, and with all new technology, it doesn't come cheap. Sony is losing about 250 dollars for every 60 GB PS3 sold.
As for the low volume, no one really knows. Sony said it has a low volume because the Blu-ray materials are difficult to acquire. But if you ask others, Sony could be doing it intentionally to create massive hype and get free publicity.
For all those people who thinks that the PS3 price is unreasonable, think about this: Nintedo Wii is making profit with every Wii sold, so the Wii could be even cheaper.

How is the PS3 value too extreme? The 80GB PS3 fees only $50 dollars extra suitable than the 360 Elite, and the 40GB PS3 fees only the comparable because of the fact the Xbox 360 Halo version. in case you question me, Microsoft needs to end merchandising that stupid Xbox arcade without problematicalcontinual. they only sell that kind so as which you will circulate and purchase a $one hundred 20GB problematicalcontinual in a protracted time. 2d of all, Sony could no longer take out the Blu-Ray interior the 40GB PS3 because of the fact ALL PS3 video games use Blu-Ray DVD's. video interest builders can do extra with Blu-Ray DVD's than trouble-free DVD's that Microsoft builders ought to apply. precise now, the only builders that are taking avantage of the Blu-Ray on the PS3 is builders that make PS3 unique video games. The 40GB PS3 is extreme def. ALL PS3s incorporate a HDMI a million.3 port. The Xbox 360 Elite comes with a HDMI a million.2 port. So the PS3 is the only real HD console because of the fact the Xbox 360 does no longer something yet upscale video games to "look" HD, however the PS3's video games are already HD because of the fact the PS3 makes use of Blu-Ray. And in my view, i think of that the PS3 is a good purchase.

They know that a limited amount released means people will fight over it and Sony will get lots of free press in the news about it. *sigh*

the ps3 stinks. dont get it. get the wii, theres so many flaws. go to your local ebgames and play it there, it shuts down after you play it for about 1min and 30sec. and i asked the guy if it always does that and he said most of the time. he suggested the wii to me and i got it and i love it! make the right choice, Wii everything!
