Melkein jokaisen uutuustuotteen kohdalla on valitettu sen maksavan niin paljon ettei sitä tule ostamaan kukaan. Taulutelkkareidenkin hinnat liikkuivat alunalkaen jossain 20 000 euron paikkeilla. Kyllä ne tulevat alas ja mikäpä tässä on odotellessa, valmiissa maailmassa. Ainakin siinä mielessä valmiissa, että odotteluajaksi riittää muutakin tekemistä yllin kyllin.

Nintendo DS ja adapteri ovat muuten ehdoton paketti reissuun!

Yeah. Well, I never bought a ps2 because it seemed too expensive… Maybe I’m a bit cheap. I almost had Timo bring an iPhone but thought I don’t want the hazzle of jailbreaking it.

PS2:n myyntihinta oli alkujaan noin 3500 markkaa vaikka suositus taisi olla alhaisempi. Inflaatiokorjattuna nykyrahassa noin 650 euroa ei ole kaukana. Aika lähellä samoja hintoja mitä PS3 maksoi. Ihan hyvin se on myynyt vaikka aluksi hintaa pidettiin kammottavana. Kyllä ne siitä laskevat. Samoinhan kävi DVD:lle joka sekin maksoi joskus tullessaan lähemmäs 200fim/lätty ja infaation huomioiden ei olla taaskaan kovin kaukana noista BR -kiekoista.

IPhone olisi kiva. Ostan varmaan syksyllä kun 3G -versio rantautuu Suomeen.

Actually PS2 was pretty expensive (it always for my taste), they dropped the price only few months before PS3 came out.

I remember that PS2 costed as much as Dreamcast and a real DVD player combined. And that was before the Dreamcast flopped, so I wouldn’t really call it cheap.

Now what do we have here, two suckers who just rushed in and bought a totally useless HD-DVD -drive and are now mouthing to save their faces. But will Energia office forget their screwup? XDXDXDXD

We might.

Exactly. DVD players were expensive, so the best way to get a player was a ps2. I remember many of my friends switching from vhs trough that route. So what ps2 did to dvd was that they offered a low cost way to get aplayer in a time when people wouldn’t buy standalone players.

What did the ps2 do to DVD? DVD was the fastest selling home electronic device in history. Big part making PS2 so big succes was DVD-Drive it had, not other way around.
