Sony PlayStation 3.0 - Still a dream

Ever since PlayStation was launched I've been reading about it and wanted to have one for myself. But, being in India it's not all that easy to procure one and it's expensive as well. When I got an opportunity to visit the US on a short trip, PlayStation 2.0 was in vogue and Sony was giving away PlayStation 1.0 for about $49. I thought at last I could buy it. I went to the shop, got it and was just about to take the final decision and then all of a sudden I realized that I need to buy games that will play on it. Then I checked some of the games prizes and realized that it's not all that affordable for someone who will be back in India.

Now that Sony is launching its PlayStation 3.0 I hope that the prizes of the earlier versions will fall fast - but the PlayStation 3.0 may cost around $500 and so I don't expect the earlier versions to cost less.

Just checked the average per capita income of an Indian family and found it to be around $700. It will be a dream for a majority to own a PlayStation.
