The PS3 in 2005 and now

The above slide is taken from Sony's E3 2005 press conference — boy, what a difference a year makes.

What we are wondering is how much the system would have cost if the PlayStation 3 met 2005 specifications. You can view the video by clicking on the "continued reading" link below.
