The fucking NEO GEO (see: NEWGROUNDS.COM) cost around $650 when it was released in the states in the early 90's, and I believe that games cost around $200 each.

With inflation calculated this means the system cost about $1,000 and each game individually cost $309.

Eat that.

The PS3 is the most expensive. The Xbox was the most expensive current-gen console.

600$?

Anyway, the Neo Geo was the most expensive, by far.

Neo Gen if you're Donald Trump or some rich motherfucker.

But in the coming months, PS3. The $500 version is crappy and non-upgradeable. The $600 still sucks anyways.
Oh, yeah, and that Ken guy who's with Sony says that even 600 is too cheap.

I'm not saying it's the most expensive, but the DS was 137.95 at Wal-Mart in Sudbury, Ontario. Imagine if there was a console with a Touch Screen, a Global Live Play(like Xbox Live), downloadable NES, SNES, N64 and GCN games. What about GB, GBC, VB, BGA, and DS? What about PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3, Wii, Xbox, and Xbox360? What about Atari 800, 1600, and 2400? What about Jaguar, Linx, and Calecovision? A system like that would be AMAZING, but VERRRRRY expensive. Around $5000. You give me a great deal for something like this.

Probably because the system itself costs double that to make.

In Australia, the PS3 is being released at a price of $999, which is probably the most expensive launch price for a console that I've ever seen.

At this rate I'll end up getting a Wii

OMFG!!!! $999 dollars for a PS3. Screw that, I´d rather play Poker :P

BTW, someone knows the real price of the Wii on the USA?

Ah c'mon. This is the real price:

Wii: $ 200,-/$250,- (not announced yet)
PS3: $499,-(shitty version) / $599,- (good version)
Xbox 360: $400,- (I'm not sure about this one, I didn't check the Xbox becaus it doesn't appeal to me)

For a free internet service you need the Nintendo Wii.

You have to connect it with your current connection, I guess.

As far as I know, the ps3 will be the most expensive, followed by the 360, then the wii. The price hasnt been released for the wii mind.

Nintendo always sells them the cheapest. All their consoles come out for $200 or less. Oh and the $ goes on the LEFT side.
