PlayStation 3 Delayed, Over $800?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-a-good-weekend-for-sony dept.

AWhiteFlame writes "Cnet is reporting that a research report issued by Merrill Lynch suggests that the Sony PlayStation 3's American release may be postponed until 2007. From the article: 'The analyst firm proposed the idea that high costs and Sony's decision to use an 'ambitious new processor architecture--the Cell' is making it look like the company might not be able to meet its goal of getting the PS3 out in the U.S. this year.' Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment." The official report (pdf) would also seem to indicate that the console will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $900 when it launches.

  1. $800-900 won't be much by LeonGeeste · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Keep in mind, this is '07 when you'll be buying it. At the rate the fed is inflating the money supply, $900 will be a week's pay for an entry level Wal-Mart worker in '07. Cheer up!

  2. Prostitute Schedule for Feb. 18 at the MBOT in SF by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Folks, check out the updated prostitute schedule for February 18 at the Mitchell Brother's O'Farrell Theater (MBOT), located at 895 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California. The MBOT is the most convenient way for you to buy a blow job, a hand job, and full service (i.e. vaginal sexual intercourse).

    I kid you not.

    Business isn't willing to pay for products, innovation and careers, so we get brands, mortgage commercials and layoffs.
  5. The same Merrill Lynch that can't even add. by guidryp · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The column adds up to $800 and they have $900 under it. A pretty obvious mistake from financial ANALysts.
