The PS3 costs more than they sell it for period. They make money on the games or at least that is the idea.

I'm sure Apple makes on money on each Iphone though. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19552611 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 00:40:10 EDT Re: Better iPhone for cheap http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19548634 coastjam :

Is there a reason you think it would cost them $800 each? I doubt it even cost them $100 dollars to make it. I said this when they said they would be selling playstation 3 for less then what it costs to make it. I don't care if they are going to make money from licenses. No company is going to sell a product for less then what it takes to make. Just because it would cost an average person a lot of money to make an electronic device doesn't mean it will for a big company.

You may pay a dollar or two for a piece when the company probably pays a whopping ten to twenty cents a piece. Do you think these companies buy a few pieces at a time. They buy in bulk. They get a deal cause of the way they buy the stuff.

Just like the playstation 3 probably costs less then a $100 to make I should probably guess the IPhone is less then $50 to make.

Forget trying to argue it with me cause no matter what you say I'm not changing my thoughts on this.

And you know the PS3 cost more to make then what they sell if for cause? You on the Sony board? Or cause Sony says so? Have you been conditioned by what companies say then it must be true?

PS3 cost more to make then they sell if for but the price has dropped a few times already. IPhone has already went down on price. Don't let these companies brainwash you.

PS3 has always cost more to make then what they sell for. This has been known since they were released.

They buy in bulk when they get everything for their computers but you don't see those going down much in price. All of their products are double and sometimes tripled what it costs of a PC usually for the same items. But just because its an Apple product it shouldn't cost anymore than what a PC should even if everything is in America; customer service, shipping, HQ and everything else. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19546427 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 20:09:04 EDT Re: Better iPhone for cheap http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19545978 XknightHawkX : Is there a reason you think it would cost them $800 each?

I wouldn't mind the ad's, if I could get something like the iPhone or in reality, a much better phone then the first gen iPhone, for cheap or free.
You aren't going to get an iPhone clone for free or even cheap. The unsubsidized cost of an iPhone is about $800 each. And no amount of ad revenue is going to get Google to give that away.

What may be cheap or free is a phone service plan with unlimited minutes using a user bought and paid for phone. Data access thru Google and some cheap VOIP phone plan for voice access.
