Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is saying that Georges Fornay's comments (below) about the price of the PlayStation 3 were, according to GamesIndustry.biz, "'a mistranslation or misunderstanding of the discussion, which was actually focused on the relative value of PS3 as a Blu-ray Disc player,' according to SCEE corporate communications director Nick Sharples".
[Fornay] summarised by saying that PS3 would be expensive when one looked at the current price of a video games machine, at far below 500 Euros, but extremely good value when looking at the BD and HD technology inside," [Sharples] concluded.
Comment: This means the PS3 could cost less than €500 or $500, but also means it could cost €600 or $600 or more, depending on the prices of standalone Blu-ray players.
