Yes there are some consoles that are great and some that aren't, some of them are also very expensive and maybe over priced as far as we know it, so what console(s) do you think is/are over priced?

PS3, apart from blu-ray and improved graphics. What does it have that gives it such a high price tag.

I say xbox 360, nothing all that different from an original xbox, but the difference shouldn't make it all that plus more expensive.

The panasonic 3DO was $500 when if first came out in 93.

But for now, I'm a little upset with the PS3 and the Xbox360 both have 'poor' versions, which sadly are overpriced anyway, and then there are 'rich' versions which have the only desirable features and they costs way too much money for the average gamer.

PS3 (Is the $1000 price tag American? Or Australian?) I hope it's American because I live in Australia!

It's $1000 for the Premium Package. I believe the Core package is cheaper.

I'm certainly not. I'm boycotting Microsoft and Sony for thinking we'll pay anything for their systems.

I won't buy a PS3 until the price comes down to $400-500 (AU$). I'll never buy a 360 due to the severe overheating problems some people have been experiencing.

Those overheating problems are supposedly going to be fixed by this upcoming 'holiday season'. The processor is like 60nm and their going up to 90nm.

If that's true, I may actually consider buying a 360...
