PS 3 to be $299

i can't see how this would be the right price for the console. estimates (researched and cross-referenced using google, which i think everybody is familiar with...) put production costs for sony at ~$494, and some (merril lynch) have suggested a retail price of ~$399, which would still result in losses to sony of ~$1.18 billion for the first year of release. that being said, ps3 fans can only hope that kutagari's promise of a "very expensive" console falls within the $399 mark. and to parrot teamparadox, i'm pretty sure amazon.com does not set prices for consoles.

they should not make gamers pay $400 per unit. After all they really never maid money from the units them selves not until the second year, but from the games.
