Rumor has it that pricing has been finalized on Sony’s forthcoming Playstation 3 at $499. $100 more than an Xbox 360, but you should get a LOT more features (like the ability to play high definition DVDs).
Gossip doing the rounds amongst Californian developers seeks to peg the price of Sony’s looming PlayStation 3, with the figure of $499 being bandied around quite actively in the last few days.
According to several sources, publisher-owned developers taking receipt of updated development kits have been briefed that the pricepoint is final.

I wonder how much they are losing per unit sold at a $500 price point? Rumors had it that the actual cost to Sony was far above $500.
The only draw that I can think of is network is not recognized every time I turn the player on (N-draft). Other than that streams perfectly. Upscales perfectly. Love playing DivX movies from USB drive – saves a lot of time by not having to burn a DVD.
Perhaps slightly overpriced.
