MattJimF Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Oh... rass gets his facts wrong, Analysts are expecting Sony to drop the price of the console by $100 in Oct due to cheaper parts and design simplification. Also in an attempt to stay ahead of Xbox who hasn't dropped their price a year on.I've spent too much time talking about this fucking console, theres one under my telly now, i can go and.... read aberdeen-music on it.. or something Funny you shouid say that, as that's what i'm doing just now as my mate is on my PC and i'm just pissing about on my PS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 the 360 dropped in price just before christmas did it not?Regardless, if you want to bring it up to spec (though it still falls short) with the PS3 you need to spend around 470 which is still more than the PS3....

Skull Commander Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 the 360 dropped in price just before christmas did it not?Although some retailers dropped the prices and created value bundles, there has not been an official price drop from microsoft as of yet.

Red Neck Man Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 A little off topic, but can anyone remember how much a Megadrive cost when it was new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 A little off topic, but can anyone remember how much a Megadrive cost when it was new?I think they were around 199. Which to be honest, in monetary terms, is not far off what we're paying for consoles these days what with inflation and the pound being stronger now than during the Thatcher/Major years.EDIT: it was 189 at launch in the UK IN 1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I remember my dad paying about 200 for our ZX Spectrum in 1982 or something, which must have been loads.Yep we had 1 too, we even had the predecessor the zx81, however the spectrum may have been expensive back in the day (and you even had to pay extra for a taper recorder), but as a games system it's far superior to the PS3, I mean you cant even get Manic Miner, Dizzy, Horace goes Skiing, Jetset Willy or Atic Atac for the PS3.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
