There speaks a man who's paid too much.

425 quid for what it offers, on the top-spec side of things is actually a very reasonable.
Not quite a bargain in console terms though.
Console though? everything is an inevitable hybrid-mix-thing now, the Wii is probably more of a console than anything else at the moment.

At least in the US, Sony's timing could hardly be worse. The housing market is tanking, and with it goes (among other things) the equity credit that's driven retail spending sprees for the past five years. Their credit cards maxed out, the dollar falling and the price of gas rising, Americans won't have the dough for a $500-$600 PS3. A recession will squeeze lots of things, especially luxury console sales.

As for troubled Sony, it's facing serious economic consequences if it doesn't move a lot of PS3 units fast. Desperate jobs-slashing mega-corp tries to woo cash-poor over-charged consumers with a pricey boutique toy; good luck!
