...

Sony is gonna charge like $600 for this thing. Thats why they are keeping the price a secret I guarentee it. Because when they set a release date everyone is gonna want this on that day and boom when it comes out if they have ample supply even if the price is $200 more than people had wanted to pay when they know they can go get it they will still get it.

Not Me.

If $ony charges that much I won't be purchasing one for a few years. I can't justify spending that much money on a glorified video game console no matter how badly I want it. I'll stick to my PS-2's & P's. Maybe I'll get a LocationFree Player and update one of my PSP's to work with it. I'm sure by then the Location Free Player Pak will only (sarcasm) cost about what a PSP does. A.J.
