CNN has a cool article that breaks down what you can expect to pay for the new next generation consoles including the hardware that is needed to enjoy them.
“Want to enjoy the full experience of a next generation console game? It could cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,710.
Gaming has never been an inexpensive hobby. But as the industry moves into its next generation, the emphasis on cutting edge graphics and sound, mixed with increased development costs might have gamers double checking the balances on their savings accounts. ”
It looks like they expect the price of the Xbox 360 to be around $399, and we already have heard rumors that the Sony Playstation 3 could cost around $450 – $465. Plus games at retailers are expected to cost between $5 and $10 dollars more than games in the past (around $60+ per game). CNN includes an HDTV into the equation to get their $1700+ cost of gaming total.
