PS3 could cost up to $500

Yes but then you have to ask yourself is it nearly as powerful as a computer? I think not, but still if they decide to put more than one version on the market then I might get it cause my computer can already do all of that stuff I just want better graphics on consoles not 200$ worth of options.

BTW the only reason computers cost so much is because the labor charge why do think they are getting so cheap now with all the jobs of putting these things together being in other countries?

It's killing me here a computer jumped from 4000$ to 1500$ and just the other day when I called customer support I was patched through to a guy in India.
