A speculative piece at CNN Money has Chris Morris pondering the price of Sony's PlayStation 3 in this week's Game Over. Analyst P.J. McNealy thinks Sony should launch its console at a price point between $399 and $499. Some developers have speculated that the system's price could be as high as $600 or $700. Last year, Ken Kutaragi suggested that people would have to work overtime to afford the console.

Gamers have probably been thinking about the Sony price point since they looked at their Xbox 360 receipts (if not long before). With a couple of games, an extra controller and a Premium system, we are/were already looking at close to $600 and maybe $700 depending on the launch games that piqued our interest. How far are you willing to go on PS3? Is there a glass ceiling—a price point above which you can't justify the purchase of a system? If so, what's your limit? And if you're Sony and must price your system higher than any we've seen before, how do you ease that strain on gamers when you try to market it?
