Sony’s albatross PlayStation 3 is going to cost them $800 per unit at launch (they list $900, but apparently Lynch financial analysts can’t add their own totals). $800 per unit?

…for some upgrades and maintenance. The site will go down for around 48 hours. It shouldn’t take that long, and I’m not exactly sure when, but hopefully we can be up and running by Monday. See you then!
