We're beginning to wonder if Sony hasn't lost all of its senses when it comes to public relations. The company knows that the pricing on the forthcoming PlayStation 3 console has been met with some degree of anger, hostility, and/or disbelief, but to combat that by calling the console "probably too cheap" is unexpected, to say the least. Or is it?

Sony Computer Entertainment's Ken Kutaragi says that when one considers the price of the PS3, one must think of a fine dinner, not a cafeteria meal, according to comments translated from Japanese media site, IT Media.

if you look at it, regular Blu-Ray DVD players are about 100 less... we get that in the PS3 plus a hell of a lot more and a playstation 1 and 2. MS is making a good move by making their HD DVD optional. sony did that with their HD on the PS2
