Playstation 3 Price $500?!?

Rumors about the PS3 price are going crazy! The next-gen Sony console is due out this year but Sony hasn't given the official word on the price yet. Peeps are guessing the price will be as high as $700 US and as low as $400 US. The best guess is that it'll cost $500 US, $100 more than the Xbox 360! What do you think?
