Well this is news to me. I didn't know the PS3 was so expensive merely because it's 'shiny'. I thought it had something to do with the parts inside the system. I don't claim to know anything though.JWAN said:No, that's logic. Just because your system is shiny, and you have a large following of fanboys does not mean you can raise the price to some ridiculous amount and drip in big name titles at a snails pace. Even the fanboys know its a shit deal. (most of them)
Also, I was under the assumption that whilst the console is expensive, the game has a great number of exclusive titles that justifies the price tag in the long run. Some may find this to be unlogical, but I believe it's the same as buying a more expensive car for greater overall comfort and satisfaction.
As for snails pace big names, I for one like to buy the odd game that's going to last me a long period of time as opposed to spending vast amounts of money on a large number of mediocre games, which has been the case on other systems over owned over the years, so I'm guessing this is matter of opinion also.
