Also remember we are talking about cost here, not retail price. It seems to be some sort of modern trend to sell consoles at a loss so I wouldn't get too fixated on this.

It will not even cost 900$ to produce it, so back the truck up a little. :)
I think it won't retail for much more than a 360 cost at release, which was 399$, right? I guess PS3 will be between 399 and 499$.

Dropping a paycheck on a game system is not as fun as it was 10 years ago :( What am I saying....yes, it is :twisted:
It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here!!

But Sony can't afford to eat $450 per console... and Kutaragi kept saying "it'll be expensive" "We want you to earn it" "we think people will want it enough that they'll work more hours for it" And then there's the fact that Blu-Ray players are hitting the market at $1800 US for a simple player. the PS3 is supposed to be so much more...

I'm sure there will be players that are cheaper than 1800$. And players have costlier drives in them as computers. BluRay drives for computers (and PS3s) will be much cheaper at the time the PS3 will come out. Have a look at this. http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/It's a Blu-Ray burner from Samsung which is announced for 500$ (that should be around 300$ in production, or even less, considering that the company and some dealers want to make profit out of it). Now a drive without burning capabilities should retail for much less and thus costs less to produce. edit: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/02/24/cnet-plays-the-ps3-component-pricing-game/CNET also guessed how much PS3 would be and their lower figure of 725$ seems plausible to me.

Keep in mind that the figures they're coming up with are the costs to manufacture the consoles. Sony is pretty greedy...

The videos are pretty cool. The first ones not too exciting, but the day/night effect is cool, I read about in a magazine not so long ago.
The second is better, there's the pretty cool bit where he runs along the tightrope a bit, but it looks too similar to "windy valley" in Sonic Adventure to me.

Hm... I'm not sure what to make of it. It looks like a blast... but maybe because it's really, really reminding me of Jak and Daxter.

So, according to gameplay, this game is coming out on November 24th in the U.K (for the 360) I hope it doesn't stink.

Alright I picked up the 360 version. There is an Adventure map like you can walk around the city and stuff as seen in Sonic Adventure 1. So far for what I have seen and tried (Haven't played much) I am enjoying so far. I will be enjoying this title for sure. My Review of this game will be up later this week.
