In the U.S., if I recall correctly, the plain version of the PS3 is going to be like $499.99 and the nice-and-full version $599.99.
Compared to the XBox 360 (standard $299.99 and nice $399.99), the PS3 seems really pricy. However, I heard that the dual core processors used in the PS3 total at least $700 already. |

Read this:

Hang on -- £600 for the full package!?
It said that the full console would be £425 (60GB disc and extras similar to the XBOX 360). But if it is that pricy, I'll just wait awhile till both consoles get decent games and the price lowers before I get them. For now MYGamer-PC for the win! |

You also have to take the markets in to consideration. Different markets will have different pricing, so something that may cost $40.00 UDS in Europe / The UK etc.. may only cost $20.00 USD in America  |

I definitely plan on buying one... but not for a while. And sorry, nothing so far has made the xbox360 worth purchase. Looks like I'll be getting the Wii first. Metroid Prime 3 ftw!
