It's the Wii60 for me

After Sony announced its ridiculous $600 price for the full-featured version of the Playstation 3, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to get one. Then they announced that the worldwide rollout in November was going to be limited to 400K units in the US and 100K in Japan, with Europe and Australia getting dissed altogether until the spring. It was then clear that, even if I'd wanted one, I wasn't going to get one.

Now they're saying 80% of the PS3s available for purchase will be the $600 version and not the $500 one. That's just a convenient news article to use to post this mini-rant to my blog. I'll probably get a Wii60 (i.e. the Nintendo Wii and a Xbox 360, adding up to the same price as the PS3) this holiday buying season.

Sony: 80 percent of PS3s will be higher priced models
