Gamers...

OK, so Sony's Playstation 3 comes out this month. My 10-year-old desperately wants it.....problem: I can't justify spending $600 on a game system for a kid.

So, that begs the question, who is the game really for? It's got to be for adult gamers...and the sad thing is that it's been hyped up so much and the fact that they are gonna be hard to come by even if you can justify that amount...lots of kids hearts are going to be broken.

At half that cost, I am going to go with the XBox 360 for my son. It just makes more sense.

The reason, so I have heard, that the PS3 is so much is because of a new technology called Blu-ray that's been inserted to view movies on a high level - but you have to buy the special movies for that too....so why couldn't they just make a generic one, without those bells and whistles that just played the high-def games? That's all a 10-year-old cares about....but again, who is the target market...

For those other parents out there, I heard from a reliable source, that Microsoft is going to bring down the price of the XBox a little specifically to compete with those who are a little more cost conscious.
