Obviousely one of the biggest counterpoints to buying a PS3 is its' huge price tag. If the currently $599 version were to be priced the same as a premium Xbox 360 ($399), what would you do?

I'd buy it at launch or shortly after but it's way to expensive at $600 to even consider.

i was planning to buy it the moment it drops to 400 anyway.

just a wii, thanks!

Rather get the 360

I'd give it a long look at $400, but I think I'd still hold out for it to go lower. If $400 wasn't too expensive for me, I'd own an XBox 360 already.

I still wouldn't get one, there is literally one game that interests me, and I feel Sony really doesn't care about what does or doesn't come out on their system (cough PSP cough). I feel like they are so cocky that they just put out a console, say it's powerful, and let whatever happens happen. They assume that all the developers will flock to it, but I think they are in for a rude awakening this coming gen.

IF it launches at that price, I would buy it on day 1.
Otherwise, I'm not going near it. $600 is too much for a console. I would rather use the $600 and buy games for the cheaper consoles (PS2, GBA, DS, XBOX, PS1, etc.).
Good thing I have over 100 games that I still haven't played.
I'm guessing by that time, it would probably be $199 or so and there will be a clear winner for this console war.

Money isn't an issue for me in regards to the PS3, and I still wouldn't buy one. This coming from someone who bought a PS1 at launch and a PS2 at launch.

I'd go to disneyland

I'd definitely reconsider buying it at $400 but I'd still probably wait until there were a ton of exclusives to play and some GH games to buy. I have a 360 and I think it will do nicely for multiplatform games until the PS3 is too tough to pass on. Kind of like how I had only a Gamecube until August of 2002... at that point in time the PS2 had so many great games I couldn't ignore it anymore...

Uh, Sony has released excellent 1st party games for PSP, such as Syphon Filter: DM, Daxter, etc. If they didn't care, they wouldn't even bother bringing games to the PSP, but they are.

I would still wait. I'll most likely end up owning one eventually because of the RPG support it will surely have. Although, after Oblivion, I don't know if I can go back to J-RPG's...

I think I'm going to wait until Christmas 2007 before getting a PS3 or (rebuying) a 360. By then, both systems should have at least a good half-dozen AAA games that aren't first person shooters or racing that interest me. I got a 360 at launch because I HAD to play Condemned (awesome game!), but after I beat that I realized I wouldn't need the system until Mass Effect & Lost Planet.

Since Wii will have Metroid Prime 3 and Zelda: Twilight Princess at launch this holiday, I know it'll be a worthwhile purchase right now.

I'm willing to buy it at $600, so it would just mean more games at launch for me.

I would get one for the 1080p support. My dad bought a 56 inch Samsung DLP that has 1080p resolution, but I've only seen a few videos that we got off of microsoft.com and I'd like to be able to watch movies and play games in 1080p, even though I'm not interested in that many PS3 games (I have never owned a PS2, and didn't enjoy the PS1 that I owned that much).

they would need better exclusives either first party or 3rd party. JRPG's don't interest me, and it is rumored assasins creed is coming to the 360

Yay for hypothetical questions.

Its a funny thing, more people (including myself) chose to buy the system for $400, but the chances of the system failing would be MUCH greater if it was that cheap...

I'd probably wait until it hit $200.
