I don't think $600 is ridiculous for a system.. you pay for the technology (Cell processor and Blu Ray).. I remember saving all my bday and christmas money when I was younger to buy genesis and all the addons with it.. I think Genesis with the 32x and SegaCD was $450..
Anyone remember NeoGeo? The games for that were over $100.. and that was early to mid 90s too..

I mean relatively speaking, 600 is the most expensive video game console to date, yes? So that alone is pretty high. But like u said, u get alot for what u pay for. But the thing u have to remember the most about Sony is that they usually talk about all the features possible, but most of the time, they are barely used.For instance, the HDD for the PS2, they really hyped it up, but barely any games supported it.
Blu ray is defintly impressive, but with this retarded format war between HD DVD and Blu ray goign on, we dont really know which format will win out. Sony has a decent list of formats that they themselves introduced that failed miserably. Blu ray format is obiviously an awesome tool, holding over 50GB of information, but cost of gettin something to play it is incredibly high, more so that when DVDs first appeared. I mean blu ray players are going for 1000+ and the Sony laptops that support blu ray are 3000+, just a lil too much right now. Im sure that the PS3 will push BLu ray, im justt saying that Sony has had its share of failures even though im backing PS3, i still fell the price tag is a bit much.
