I recently went back to the Sony Singapore website to check its retail price and saw that it stated that its retail price is S$39.90.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2366\" src=\"https:\/\/dbbd.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/6961005347_8da6892a3b_z.jpg\" width=\"639\" height=\"526\" alt=\"Screen shot 2012-03-07 at PM 02\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dbbd.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/6961005347_8da6892a3b_z.jpg 639w, https:\/\/dbbd.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/6961005347_8da6892a3b_z-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/center>Folks, don&#8217;t believe the Sony website &#8211; its cheap, but not THAT cheap&#8230; I think they swapped in the SGD without converting the price from USD to SGD.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back at my digital receipts in 2009, I realise that I first bought this camera on ebay for around USD$45 (approximately S$57). I consider this reasonably affordable in any case and I would still consider the PS3 Eye as a cheap camera.<\/p>\n<p>If buying the PS3 Eye from a physical store in Singapore, the current price at Sim Lim can vary quite greatly. Most of the shopowners on the 2nd and 3rd floor were shocked when I showed them the site on my phone and insisted that the retail price as listed on Sony Singapore&#8217;s official website was $39.90, and they insisted that this camera had a cost price of around $50-55 (depending on who I spoke to). I was quoted as much as $60+. My final recommendation would be to go to &#8220;Gamers Hub&#8221; on the 5th floor, where they were very friendly and the PS3 Eye camera was going at a very reasonable $49.
