It was hard enough to choose which next-gen console you were getting, now that you've decided, what are you going to buy on launch day?
Should you get your hands on the Playstation 3 - which only expects to have around 400,000 in the United States - and you aren’t selling it on eBay, you’ll want to stock up on some goodies so that you and your friends can spend countless hours missing work and school playing. What we’re going to do here is show you how you get the most for your money. There is no shame in coupons, frequent shopper enrollments and financing options. My retailer of choice, which I will be providing examples from, is Best Buy. However, we will go over pricing from its competitors so you can maximize your experience. We’ll expect that the majority of consoles purchased at launch will be the 60GB Premium bundle which will retail for $599.99, you’ll be getting: CPUSo, no doubt the console is going to set you back, that’s fine. Congratulations, you now have the least expensive blu-ray player in the world. Now without getting into specifics, let’s take a look at some of the games. In 2004, a record 12 games sold over 1 million units, and 52 games sold over 500,000 units (http://www.theesa.com/files/2005EssentialFacts.pdf), so more than likely you’ll own one of those big selling games; let's pick a couple to get an idea of cost. Over the launch period there should be over 20 games available provided there are no setbacks, so there will be plenty to choose from. Let’s go with some safe choices, one of the most acclaimed games provided at launch will be: Resistance: Fall of Man - $59.99Madden NFL 07’ - $59.99 Need for Speed: Carbon - $59.99 Another option instead of games is testing out your new Blu-Ray DVD player with an action movie. I picked my favorite: The Fifth Element And the wallet begins its stretching… let’s continue to accessories… |
