What have to accept is 600$ is the price of the basic console, the core version per se, after you buy all the nescessaries, larger HD so on so forth, the price comes nearer to 1000$.

Now that ladies and gentleman is the cost price of the console, after that you can add on local taxes.

Next the games, if any moron thinks they are going to be selling blu-ray disc games for less than 80$... frankly where did you learn your economics?

I doubt Sony Entertainment is going to make it past Q3 of the nest year with anything less 2.5B losses... after that... well they will bite the dust
