-DVD support sold separately
+Unsupersized
+Super backward compatability

?Controller

XBOX 360:
Price: Between $300 and $400
+Harddrives for everybody (out of the box)
+Customizable face plates

Ahh good ol Epic. Although I'm not at all impressed with UT2007.

Care to share his source? If it's more reliable than EGM (Sony itself or any confirmed employee blog) then I will update the price. Sorry alot of information has gotten spread on the internet that isn't true. Remember, anyone can post anything, thats both the best and worst thing about the internet.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Edit:
As you might now, the august issue is released in July, and alot can change in a short period of time. Who knows, the price may have gone up, or they may have bought a new wafer factory and reduced costs even more.

Hmmm. I doubt it.

I do somewhat too but if it is true then it's most certainly noteworthy.

nost ppl no adays are now obsest with money they believe that sony lovers will pay any price for there new system so they racked up the price...that is my theory but then again the ps3 costing 500$ may be a well spread rummer (damn my crappy spelling!!)

To quote the editor from EGM, "Whatever you expect to pay for the Playstation 3, it will be more."

that is true for most things...and i rather just wait about a year or so until i know what system is the best and when everything is as cheap as the last system...

My thoughts exactly.
