PS3 to Sell at Over $800 in UK

joe 155 writes "The Register is reporting that ' the PS3 will cost £425 in the UK - over $800'. SCE UK Managing Director Rat Maguire said: 'I don't think it's an expensive machine - I think actually, it's probably a cheap machine. If you think a Blu-Ray player by itself might be £600-700, and we're coming in at just £425, it's a bargain.' Can a console really be viable at this price?"

Fanboy alert.

Fanboy of what? Pointing out fanboys means I must be a fanboy of something else. Wierd logic you have there.

I don't know what kind of a weird, weird world you live in, but I don't have wet dreams about Zelda, or motion-sensors, nor do I have regular dreams about Zelda, or motion-sensors, or video games, or computer pereipherals.

You must have been home sick the day they were handing out senses of humor.

Note, also, that having longevity as someone who bitches about fanboys isn't really impressive.

Did I say I've been bitching about fanboys for all this time? Heck no! I'm just bitching about Revolution/Wii fanboys because they are the most absurd people I've ever seen on this forum. The object of their affection hasn't even been made yet, and they love it so much they are prepared to scream and yell at me for pointing out that it just very well might turn out to be something less than a complete "revolution" of the industry.
