    Who remembers the PS1 back in 1995 in the UK? The console was £400 (approx $720) when it first launched and it sold loads, I cant really understand why people complain about the PS3 even though they bought something just as expensive and way less powerful over ten years ago.

    It does seem a lot in comparison to the current prices of other games machines and I know no one wants to part with that much cash but people have before, so its right for sony to expect people to do so again.

    Anyway i'm going to go play on my 360 >_>

    Well, if you're trying to compare apples to apples, be sure to take into account inflation.
