I'm trying to get all the consoles when they launch. I think the most I would spend on the PS3 is $500, but I might go further if necessary....

$200

I am planning to pick it up as soon as it's out in Japan.
I am guessing system + games + expensive express shipping = 1000-1300+

I'm thinking 1 system this generation, and that's the 360. Eventually I'll get all 3, but nowhere near launch. As long as Oblivion stays true to the past Elder Scrolls games, I won't even notice.

Not enough info for me to make a decison about ps3, With the xbox 360 I'm sorta dissapointed with the launch info so far so i'm gonna prolly wait for a price drop on this. Plus I have a huge backlog of games that I need to get to for this gen of consoles so that should keep me busy for awhile

To be honest, I voted $500 but I will go higher if necessary. I have a lot of time to save up so I guess it wouldn't be an issue, it's just that I'll have to skip the 360 to be able to afford this if it is as expensive as they say. I have so many PS1/2 games and the PSP connectivity and especially the BluRay aspect are what's drawing me to this. That and the fact I'm a major Sony fanboy.

Only console I'm getting at launch is the Revolution. Nintendo always has a bunch of great First Party titles. I was going to get the 360 at lauch but now I'm just going to wait for the first price drop unless I get a better job before it comes out. and Just like the PS2 the only reason I'll get a PS3 is for Final Fantasy. And if the rumors are true and Square is going Mult-console I have one less reason to buy a PS3. But I might get one once it drops to $200 or enough Exclusive titles come out that I want. I don't care about Blu-Ray and I have a stupid New Slim PS2 cause my first PS2 died.

What you said got me thinking. I wonder if Sony is trying to make people think the PS3 will be expensive so people will save their money by not buying an Xbox 360.

I dunno :/

I voted $300 but really only $250.

$200.

Not enough info yet but I wouldnt want to spend more than $500.00 for the system and a game.

I would spend up to $500. I'm still not sure if I'll get it at launch or not, just depends on what the launch titles are. Lets hope they don't ship the system with those assy looking controllers we saw at E3.

$200

I put 400. The reason why is because I won the X-box 360 through mountain dew so I will have some money saved up for this. If I didnt win the contest I would have voted for 300 at the most.

I will consider buying @ launch if it's $300. Any more than that and I'll definitely be waiting.

That doesn't sound like a very good strategy...I think people are just as likely to decide to get the X360 if they think it will be cheaper.
On the other hand, I would believe what I think some Microsoft person said about the possibility of Sony saying that so Microsoft would price their console higher...
EDIT: and I voted $100...so yeah, I'll be waiting awhile...

im waiting for some price drops this gen

i think ill be occupied with the xbox and ps2 games that i have now.

if costs are above $400, im going to say screw it and just spend the money upgrading my computer
I stay by my word that this looks like it will be one of the worst, bloodiest, and most pointless console wars. Meanwhile, I'll be sitting there laughing at you all while downloading mods and getting the most out of my $50 or less games

I got PSone/PS2 and GBA games to beat, the next gen is a long way away for me.

more than $450 is just ridiculous
