All the customers that I get that have asked for it in the run to it's release said "Hah, no way I'm going to pay that. I'll wait about a year maybe a little bit longer. The machine will be cheaper, there will be better and more games, there's more insight on HD DVD/Blu Ray. And a HD(ready) T.V. might be a little less expensive as well.". So, I guess when the price drops, PS3 will be doing alright. maybe but only will they do better when actual games come for only ps3
