I bought RB2 at the $94.99 + Free Shipping price, too and came to the same conclusion. These games are NOT worth $180 - $200. Even $95 seems a little pricey, but it's been fun enough to be worth it, although I wouldn't do it again.

If Sony want to try and close the gap between itself and Microsoft, they're going to have to drop the price. Full backward compatibility on a new SKU also wouldn't go a-miss.
Aside from the price slash though, Sony also need to push the console exclusive games and actually promote them. They also need to pump money into promoting the multi format releases. Most multi-format games get advertised as though they're only on Xbox. I don't think I remember seeing a GTA4 advert air that had the PS3 logo or splash on it.

Couple months later?
"They didn't? Well that just isn't right. You know, our console is still pretty affordable, though. How many can I put you down for?"

I apologize if that's not what you're saying, but I've read your comment four times now, and I can't get anything more sensible out of it.

+1 I've said before that i find fanboyism to be...counterproductive, Pc speaking. I swore by my PS2, still think it has the greatest library of games. Although I have a 360 and enjoy it, and a Wii, which i gve to my bro, I know that most of the PS2 games i love will be continuing on the PS3. That is the only reason i want a PS3, a good reason, not out of any hatred I have toward any company( pity on those who think that either Sony or MS wouldnt sell u, your soul and your kitten Mr Nibblez to be making Nintendo cash). Honestly though, with my essentials, my new car im am financing, the trips i take every few motnhs, my leaisure activities, and financial uncertainties, I'm not comfortable with the PS3 pricetag.
Not that this will happen, but an entry level Ps3 at a $299 pricepoint does wonders for Sony, I believe. No flame, just logic. The fan boys have the console already. Those who grew up on Sony like myself will fal towards getting one sooner or later. However, the "Wii demographic", as mch as it pains me to say, are where the money is. No I dont think anyone will threaten Wii dominance. What a cut will do is entice theuninitaited nto giving it a try. Honestly the entry level could cut Blu-Ray player. The lower price is attractive to the casuals, and I feel there is a sector of he market that is frightened by the "technologic progressiveness of the slick black box" if that makes sense.
I know there are logistic problems with my idea. No i havent fleshed out a blueprint to get it done, or I would be working for Sony instead of Amazon.com, I'm just saying if that could get done, coupled with the continuance of some of the AAA games from the PS2, profits would increase, while not to Wii levels, definitely would put MS on notice.

I think they should bundle Killzone 2 with a console AND a price drop. That would be something hard to resist! I'm speaking here on the assumption that KZ2 is good or great or at the very least competent. That would be a coup for Sony who wants to attract a larger user base.
I know this thread will be littered with "Haha M$ pwns $onY noobers!" or whatever nonsense Sony and MS threads gets...Sigh carry on.

What Sony needs, I think, is something more like another LBP than a Killzone. Killzone will galvanize the faithful, but if they could come up with something simple and colorful to plug in system ads the way Microsoft Serve (again, just absurd bullshit; read nothing into it) does with Kung Fu Panda (haven't played it; probably sucks), they might have a sexier case to make to the semi-casual gamer.
They're the cadillac of consoles, but a Honda will get you everywhere you need to go, too.
