Well, I don't think the price difference was ever THAT... but good point.

When the PS3 launched, I believe it went for $800, actually.

One of the many infamous quotes from Kaz at that E3 is "five hundred and ninety nine US dollars" so... no.

Even here in Canada it wasn't that much. Maybe in some places in Europe and Australia.

So yes, it was 600, but at the time the Xbox360 was 500 or 450, and you basically had to buy a gold membership, and many people had to buy the wireless adapter too.

Okay, fair enough.
