PS3 Price Drop

If I could find a fucking Wii I'd buy one.

Ebay?

BTW, this has now been confirmed by Sony as fact. Meaning what I suspected is true - Ryoji Chubachi is a fucking liar.

Take a trip up to Savannah, GA. They're usually in stock around here.

Now people are spculating that a Xbox 360 price cut is to follow shortly. That would be nice for those who haven't jumped on board yet.

The PS3 price drop has been confirmed according to this article.

They are also introducing an 80 GB model that will be priced at $599, but the 60 GB will go down to $499.

Woot! Still not buying one!

A 360 price drop would be swell though. I'd pick one up again. A job offer would also be swell.

Just think if they didnt drop the 20GB model and you could get a PS3 for 399$. I bet you it'd sell pretty well then.

Well it looks like the whole price cut was a bit of a lie. Sony's replacing the 60gb model with the 80gb model, and that will still sell for $599. The reduced price on the 60gb model is simply to try and get them off store shelves as soon as possible to make way for the 80gb model.

So if you want a PS3 for whatever reason, you'd better go pick one up now before the price goes up again.

This also probably means that a 360 price cut isn't likely anytime soon.

The current model isn't selling so why would you go and add another 20gb and discontinue the model on store shelves? That doesn't make much sense to me.

Well, you can still sort of find used ones. But I was checking last night to see which one would be cheaper, since our store actually has a used 20gb PS3 in stock.

If I were to buy a used Xbox 360 (w/wireless controller) + a used 20gb HDD it still ends up cheaper by about $30 then if I were to by a used 20gb PS3, and at that point, your getting the same thing. So I guess the question is how much does someone want that Blu-Ray player. It's only $30, but $30 is $30.
