It wont touch $100 as the head of the NA branch of Sony said, but then again he also said that $99 is below $100 which implies it's probaly going to cost somethign like that.
Not to mention about the technology behind it. On the grapics stand point it's plain funny. The RsX GPU is a down clocked G71 which is found in the 7900/7950 cards. Where as the Xenos of the 360 is a R500 which is the basic found dation for the newest ATI cards that comes out this year. Stupid of them doing the opposite of what MS is doing. Shame on them.
So you have this over priced system because of BluRay that has a super powerful Cell processor that is held back with a weak underclocked 7900GT. Not to say much about the 360 which is the complete opposite, a very powerful GPU with a weak ass CPU. Now you are basically down to two systems. One with great graphics but shitty physics or one with great physics and shitty graphics.
Stupid people on both sides. WHy can't they be like Nintendo and say... Lets put a slightly better GPU and CPU in our current system, give it a new look, and add a crazy controller into it. Then you'll have a weak system but with great potential.
