PS3 Price(s) and Date Official!!

[Chris Ingersoll]

Wii will not cost more than $250.

Still no actual price set, but a good sign nonetheless.

$229.99 is the price being floated around the Nintendo offices. Games should be between $39.99 and $49.99.

Yep, then I'll definitely be getting one. Better than the crazy prices Sony is throwing around.

$499 - $599 for the system and a a November 17th release date makes for an interesting holiday season. I'll be interested to see the memory requirements for the games and other features. This will have a huge bearing on which system I pre-order.

WOW thats high! PS2 is now on $99! Can you believe it?!

13.61%: Xbox 360 (including import)
1.78%: None

Are you going to buy a Wii?

57%: Yes
33%: I’m thinking about it
10%: No

Is the 62,790 yen price tag for the basic version of the PS3 expensive?

87.57%: This is not a price for a game console.
10.06%: It is not surprising when you look at the features.

CRAP am I excited about the Wii. Awesome launch titles! I'm sure PS3 will have dope ones too, but there is no way I'm paying $600 for a gaming system.

Hmm, amazing how a poll posted on Nintendo is so pro-Nintendo.

Seriously, I'm starting to warm to the Wii, but I'm pretty certain at this point that I'm going to get the PS3.

It was on IGN as well, just where I read it first. And the poll wasn't taken on the site, the results from the Japanese poll were just posted.
