Sony hasnt announced anything yet. We all know that a price drop will happen EVENTUALLY. Dont expect a price drop before GTA IV comes out.

If I had to bet, I would say in 2008, not 2007 so you paying for a cheaper 60 GB before GTA IV coming out is most likely improbable.

Price drop for the ps3 is improbable this year.  If sony do drop their price it would mean that they are not selling their consoles.  It is more likely that the xbox 360 will drop their price b4 gta4 comes out as it has been out one year longer than the ps3.

  Well they are at 3.1 million sold ...
     once we know NPD figures its likly to be 3.2 / 3.3 million sold ...

   PS3 is the 2nd fastest selling console ever -- its selling faster than PS1 and PS2 -- faster than Xbox 360 ... onli the Wii has beat it for first 5 months sales ...

Well... The point is the price of ps3 won't drop this year unless they are doing really bad.

wtf... The ps3 is $600 compared to xbox 360 elite's $480. The pricepoint of the ps3 is holding it back from dominating this gen. The 20gb ps3 is nonexistance, but what you posted is way off topic.

ps3 is actually a much better deal considering the elite does NOT have hd dvd (ps3 has blu-ray), free online gaming, and no one needs 120 gigs of space on a videogame console... seriously. come on now. the only reason i got the $600 ps3 was because of the built-in wifi, bluetooth, and realizing i'm getting a better deal with the 60 gigs. but i don't even need 60 gigs. 8g's was fine with the first xbox. though i guess with dl's on the ps3, a 20 gig would be necessary.

 

Edit: i didn't mean to put in bluetooth, i realize it's in both versions.... i'm pretty sure....

If you want a PS3 at a cheaper price you can try ebay. I've seen some for 400 to $580. Just watch the positive feedback, shipping charges, gb size etc.

Personally, I can't understand half of what this guys saying. :P But the 60GB is $600 (BestBuy sells console packages with games so you were looking at that) and with good games coming out in fall (not to mention Home) the chances are very slim that they would drop the price. The fact that you contradicted yourself within your own topic is surprising. You went from hardcore Sony fanboy to a Sony hater and Xbox fanboy within 15 minutes. Kind of unstable if you ask me. If you don't want a PS3 don't get it, if you want a 360, then by all means get one. Its your life, you can choose what you like and don't like. No reason to drag everyone else into it.

Your English skills are a mess. Stop being cheap, or stop complaining. The system just came out. Maybe you should buy a wii.

if you think about it, if Blu-ray dominates, there could be a possibility that they drop the price to $550 or less, that sounds justifyable, but then again, they want to break even by next year, so there not going to allow, especially when the big games are comming out this fall.

 

sorry for my grammar..

The thing is that built in wifi, bluetooth and blueray are not needed for gaming and those are the features that is holding the ps3 back. But this argument has been gone over numerous times so it is pointless to argue.

I can't see them dropping the price even if Blu-ray wins because they are still charging $700 for the cheapest Blu-ray player. Anyone wanting to save $100-200 would easily go buy one of the PS3 models. Though it is surprising how Ive heard non-gamers wanting a Blu-ray player to be scared of getting a PS3 and would be willing to fork over extra money for the stand-alone player. :P

Actually they already are... sort of... Blu-ray discs (not the players) are selling more than HD-DVD. But that's probably because of all the PS3 out there making it easier to watch them. But I guess this is off topic... :P

There is no price drop.  If you want a bargain go hunting on eBay and you can likely find a used one at discount

Wow, I wasn't bragging about anything. I was just saying I want a silver console to match my other electronics. Maybe if you actually read my post, you'd understand.

Anyways I don't need to explain anything to somebody who doesn't have anything better to do but try to flame someone for "bragging" on a forum site.

I can't see them dropping the price even if Blu-ray wins because they are still charging $700 for the cheapest Blu-ray player.

 

Tiger Direct sells Samsung ones for $470 here.

 

Unfortunately the Samsung is that first one that only supports up to 1080i. Still, it's comparable to most HDDVD players.

 

As far as the tc, I think he's just starting trouble.

The kid's delusional. Ignore him. There is NO need for a price drop. Think of it like this: If 360 drops its price this year, it'll accumulate anyone who's stupid enough to buy the brittle system. Once they see in a year from there that they were ripped off, the PS3 price will be lower or there will be bundles. Then the person will buy that, and try to sell his 360 on ebay. Thus concludes this video game war (and the Wii goes Wiiiiiiii for all).
