Just curious looking to buy one to replace my 60GB fat that passed away! 2 Concerns price cut or new security features, should those make me wait a little longer. Keep in mind i also do have a 80GB FAT but this is a family gaming house Thanks

well i dont think there will be a price cut soon, anytime its a good time to get a ps3. there are awesome games coming like uncharted 3, deus ex, crysis 2 and others right now like dead space 2, mass effect2.

about security i think you are talking about hacked ps3 and that. even if they manage to totally hack the ps3, when that has stopped a console from being succesfull, think about the ps2 and the 360, the ppl still buy them and a lot of ppl play offline and online.

I don't see it dropping to $200 anytime soon. Maybe $250 by fall or when PSP2 drops, whichever is first... added "security features' will have no effect on you unless you plan to jailbreak the PS3. I'm sure some clever hacker will find a way around them though, just like with PSP 3000

Even if you don't want Killzone 3, it can be traded in at Gamestop for $37.50 right now so this bundle is a good deal. I just bought one too.

I would guess the next price cut would be to $250 and would probably be around xmas. I don't see PS3 dropping to $200 anytime soon. Maybe when the PS4 comes out then the PS3 would drop to $200. There are some great deals on PS3 around black friday if you can wait that long. I remember seeing Amazon having buy $299.99 PS3 and get $100 credit but there are also many other deals that include 3 games.

The best reason to wait would be for a price cut or a bundle that offers a lot.

Unless you're in a super hurry...i'd just wait until the holiday's roll around again. I always only buy my electronics during the holidays. There will be some awesome deals on the PS3, especially bundles. For a while they were offering a $100 gift card at Amazon when buying a new PS3. Wait for something like that, if you're patient.

There's a Move bundle sale for $349.99. If you already have dual shocks and such it's a good investment.

Nope not at all !!!! I had a 60gb at launch i sold it made profit at the time. Then i had a 40gb back when it came out it was bundled with spiderman 3 bluray . My cousin had a 360 that broke and i had both 360 and ps3 at the time so i gave him the ps3 for his birthday as at that time the 360 had more games i liked . Then i got big tax return this year and when they packed the Killzone 3 game with the system i decided to again to get a PS3 again. This one is going nowhere. The 60gb i had was much louder than the new ones. I love the new model. I have a 360, PS3,WII ,DSI, PSP. Have owned every game system back to the NES. That is why i say its the best gaming money i ever spent!!!! Yes i feel more qualified than any best buy ,ebgames, employee thank you....

Did you copy your Demon's Souls saves?? And the only thing I can think of is E3 coming in 3 months, they might announce something then, but the Killzone 3 bundle is also a good value if you don't already own the game.
