PS3
Sadly after reading Electronic gaming monthly I came upon an article that says that the PS3 will be around $400-$500 now how am I supposed to afford that I couldn't even buy the DS (even though i have Lunar dragon song) so looks like i'll be seeing the PS4 before I can even afford to buy the PS3.

Er, the Xbox360 is 400. That's what these new systems are going for. I think it's ridiculous and another reason I hope the Revolution does well. If I recall right, I believe they plan to launch it at 200. (might have been 250 or 300, but it wasn't more than that)
People can stand by their Sony and Microsoft loyalties all they want, but when they charge 400-500 for their new systems, especially when Sony has a shoddy rep with launch products, I give them a resounding "hell no". I'll get them eventually, but not for a year or two at those prices.

Amen to that.
Though I submit that Sony deserves a shoddy rep on products overall.

I disagree with this assessment: a high-end computer for gaming will cost you way more than a console. Plus, next thing you know, there's a better video card, blah blah blah.
Plus there's the hassle of drivers, installation, compatibility, patches, .etc.

Nah, my high end gaming system only cost me around an arm and a leg
No, you are right about that, but seriously, you have Mac and Microsoft. You can get a decent system for basically the same cost as a consle (never said the computer is better for gaming though
) Anyway, with gaming, you have to pick GBA, DS, GC, XBox, PS2, PSP.... blah. I like Mac or PC better
I'm not really fooling anyone really, but I kind of like being able to check my e-mails, post here on the forums, and read the news without having to purchase an insanely expensive extention for my system *coughps2cough*
Yes, I'm biased ^_^

You might want to wait, not just for the price, but for Sony to work out potential problems with their system first. Their track record for hardware isn't the best, but they're getting better.
PSX - Remember in 1995 when people put their Playstations on shag carpeting and they overheated? There was a product (I think it was called "ice" or something) just created to help with the original PSX's poor ventilation.
PS2 - I don't know if others had a similar problem, or if it was just a bad batch in my area, but I know 3 people who each rushed out to get a PS2... then each had to get the disc drive repaired. One of them sounded like a lawnmower when it ran. The other two just broke.
PSP - Nothing so far (thank God!) Just don't drop it.
Oh yeah, GO SOX!!!

The PSP has it's defects - it just doesn't have any that Sony (as represented by Kutaragi) is apologetic about.

Eh. I've played the PSP and I had no issues with it. Of course, it was just for an hour or so. The only quirk that still bugs me about the PSP is it's battery life. Hurry up and make a freaking nuclear powered battery for crying out loud! I mean, at least we won't get cancer....
