what the fuck sony

 

[x3sphere]

You know if you are really looking to save money, you could grab a 20GB off eBay, complete with backwards compatibility and all. HDDs are cheap, can always upgrade that later.

i love it

What does RRP means?

Recommended Retail Price

 

[cakefoo]

Xbox 360's are $PS3 now too! :lol

Wait, why didn't that make sense?

 

[F#A#Oo]

Sony should just cut to the chase and price drop...

I myself bought a 360 this week and I know atleast 3 other people who have gone out and bought 360's with the new price drop.

I myself am waiting for the magical price drop to £199. Sure I can afford to buy a PS3 now...but for me it's the principle that I never bought a console over £250. The most I have spent is £230 and that was for my 360 Elite with 3 games...and I absolutely hate bundles but this bundle was quite terrific...Too Human, Lost Oddyssey and Forza 2.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

that is such an odd number to drop the system to...psychologically, that is...almost like a freudian slip

 

[Hazaro]

I think that's great :lol

They are just clearing out their old 40GB stocks so they can get those new 80GB w/ DS3 and no BC out there.

You missed the update from that story:

Update: Despite what the memo said, and what was repeated to us by a handful of Blockbuster employees across the country, SCEA says that this price cut did not come from Sony but rather is something Blockbuster is doing, likely to clear stock.

It's not an official price drop. It's Blockbuster acting on their own.

 

[YakiSOBA]

im a average gamer and i have a 40gb ps3, works fine and has more than enough space than i could possibly need. i even have a bunch of psn games and demos too. meh.

 

[Darkpen]

oh, interesting, its a blockbuster only thing. Eh, regardless, the price is hilarious.

 

[Kagari]

Drop the current 80GB to $299, Sony.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Drop the current 160GB to $199, Sony.

:lol What the...

 

[Kagari]

Why is it funny?

 

[Mau ®]

I didnt know the 40gb was out. I cant keep up with all the new SKUs!

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Why is this a big thing?

I thought Sony had already dropped the price.

My local Wal-Mart has their PS3's listed at $349. Only the one model.

Maybe the PS3 is doing so bad in Kansas that they're selling really old PS3's?

 

[Luckyman]

What´s the point of this clearance if it´s not a prelude to something else..

 

[NarcissisticJay]

I wonder if its gonna be $359.95 or $360.00 ...?

 

[Zoe]

What´s the point of this clearance if it´s not a prelude to something else..

It's to clear room for the 80GB's which are already in stores.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

It's pretty hard to justify a $399 price point for the 40 gig unit when the 80 gig is sitting right next to it for the same price.

 

[Ricker]

They have no choice,when they see the numbers for September,they will have to do a real price drop,heck even the Wii might have to a bit...you can get a 360 Arcade right now with one of the Lego games for 177 bucks in Canada.

The price is 360 dollars...

Pretty much. Walmart had that run for a number of weeks where they were giving 100 dollar gift cards with it's purchase. That seemed to kill the inventory at most stores. And when the 80GB started getting released, they dropped their price to 349 for those stores that still had it.

 

[NekoFever]

What kind of bundle is Spider-Man BD and Transformers The Game? I assume they're actually trying to get people to buy a PS3?

 

[Known Shippable]

I wish the 40gb was still in stock at Futureshop... I'm buying a PS3 next week and I don't really need an 80gb.

Well, you can try a local rogers video chain, they're doing clearance, and I believe selling the 40gb for $350, at least that's what I think the price tag said, I was in a drunken stupor yesterday night.
