| | | The Playstation 3, or PS3, was launched in the United States on November 17, 2006. While there were initial shortages of PS3s during the holiday season, Playstation 3s are now fairly widely available, including at online retailers. | | |
| Typical costs: | - A 60 GB PS3 now generally goes for $499 at most retailers.
- Initially, during the shortages, retailers often bundled the PS3 with games in packages of up to $1,100, but now the basic configuration is the most common offering. We've also seen Blu-Ray DVDs sometimes bundled for free with the $499 system.
|
| What should be included: | - All models contain a drive capable of playing Blu-ray high definition (HD) movies and a wireless game controller.
|
| Additional costs: | - Most games run $40-$60. Popular, new titles, such as Resistance: Fall of Man, MotorStorm and Ninja Gaiden Sigma, usually run $60. Older titles such as Virtua Tennis 3 and Ridge Racer 7 can be found for $40 at retailers such as Amazon.com.
