I agree, with all the high end new tech you'll be getting for that price, you can even say it's cheap. IF it will cost $600, better believe it costs Sony at least $800 to produce them...and note that Sony can get things like Blu Ray for the lowest possible price, since they've created it themselves...

Sony Clarifies PS3 Pricing Comments
The company states that executive's comments were "misunderstood."
by Wade Steel
April 6, 2006 - Sony stated today that comments regarding the price of the PlayStation 3 made by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) executive Georges Fornay on French radio were "misinterpreted", according to a report at gamesindustry.biz.
Nick Sharples, SCEE corporate communications director, told the industry website that the notion that Fornay's mention of a price range of €499 to €599 for the next-generation console was 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 Sharples, the pricing discussion on French radio station Europe 1 was intended to focus on the fact that the PlayStation 3 would be priced "very competitively" when compared to other products that would use the Blu-ray optical technology if it were to be priced at €500, but that this pricepoint would put it "well above the range of other game console products."
Sharples claimed that Fornay was explaining that with both Blu-ray and high-definition functionality, the PS3 would be "cheap" relative to other products that have these features but more expensive when compared to other "current" game consoles which retail at "far below €500."
Sharples stated that any reports that suggest Fornway was providing a specific price point or price range for the PS3 were completely "incorrect."
