INQ Readers Complain About Graphics Card Prices

The Inquirer asked its readers for opinions on NVIDIA and ATI’s graphics card pricing policies, eg., NVIDIA’s decision to price a graphics card at $649 - here’s a few snippets from the replies:

..I don’t get it! Processors are getting cheaper, motherboards are, hard disks are, why not the graphic cards?

..I believe a product is worth whatever people are prepared to pay for it! If nVidia managed to produce a card so much better than the competition, it makes sense for them to price it as high as possible - to start with.

..It isn’t worth it anymore to invest in those expensive PC peripherals because the next-gen consoles have more or less the same power but at a much, much lower cost.

..I would rather wait for Playstation 3 and enjoy it for the next five years.
