Um, $499 for a PS3 next year, or $150 for a Revolution (or whatever they end up calling it) this year? What a tough choice...

...NOT!

So consumers get YET ANOTHER movie format foisted upon them and pay a premium for the honour. Lovely.

To be honest, all the PS2 had going for it was the sheer volume of software - it's best games were no better or worse than the GameCube's, there were just far more of them.

Let's hope Nintendo can claw back some support this time around and match the breadth the Sony machine had this generation.

I'd be amazed if it was £299, especially since we seem to get hit by the financial bitch stick from abroad a lot.

Also, I'm not sure, but i think the equivilent of VAT differs from state to state in the U.S. and so what we see as the set price, is actually the set price less tax - the actual price bumps everything up significantly. I'm thinking more like £350.
