Sony Firm On PS3 Pricing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-to-have-to-bite-the-bullet dept.

Reuters has some last minute discussion on the high price of the PS3, as well as their plans for shipping 2 million units by December. From the article: "'We are very comfortable with the pricing we have announced and have gotten tremendous support from retailers for that price point,' Hirai said on the sidelines of the Dow Jones VentureWire Consumer Technology Conference. 'So it is full steam ahead with the pricing of $499 and $599.'"

      so, basically, the standard capitolism mantra: "Screw the consumer"

      You are so correct. I would much rather the government just took my money at gunpoint, delivered a PS3 to my home whenever they got around to it, and called that a service.

    Like John Kerry before the midterm elections, somebody needs to stop these Sony execs from talking to anyone for a few weeks.
