After months of silence Sony named the launch date and price for the PlayStation 3 on Monday, confirming its place as the most expensive game console yet produced.
The full version of the PlayStation 3 will be priced at $600 in North America and 600 ($763) in Europe. It will first go on sale in Japan on Nov. 11, followed by North America, Europe and Australasia on Nov. 17.
The price is double that of the first PlayStation in 1996 and the PlayStation 2 in 2000. Microsoft's first Xbox console cost $300, and the Xbox 360, which was launched in November, cost $400.
