We all know that the PS4 is coming this holiday season, so its only logical that a price drop is coming. With rumors of the PS4 being priced between $299.99 to $499.99 it would only make sense to drop the PS3 below $200 no? I'm guessing after the price of the PS4 and preorders for the system start. Thoughts?

Just because there is ps4 coming doesn't make the ps3 any cheaper to produce.

The PS3 will get a price drop after PS4 launches next Jan 2014. PS4 will debut November 2013. Sony can give the PS3 one last Xmas season. Then cut the price after the launch rush of PS4.

GameStop sells a PS3 with 5 games for $229. If you don't own one, that is a great deal.

I really think they will avoid price drops for a while untils sells get very bad. I think what we will see in the future are same prices but bigger bundles. Right now they have new systems with large hard drives and 2 games for $269. Probably will see the same price, but they will add a few games.

Thats for a USed fat 40GB PS3 POS, with 5 old crap games. That 40GB kills the deal.

My guess would be late spring or fall. $150 with games. Example: $150 with Killzone Trilogy or Uncharted Trilogy.

What makes everyone think its even economical to charge that low? Just cause its old tech the process to make cell processor could actually go up since production is to more standard x86 CPU. You can go buy a old slower CPU for more than a new faster one.

Right now, Newegg is selling the the 250gb PS3 (uncharted 3 GOY + Dust 514 Voucher bundle) for $219.99 (no tax and free shipping). Also, they are selling the 250gb PS3 (Need for Speed Most Wanted + Burnout Paradise bundle) for $239.99.

Last night, I bought the the 500gb PS3 (Assassins Creed 3 bundle) for $229.99 from Newegg. Amazon is slacking and still selling that bundle for $299.99. Hey Amazon! Time for you to drop the price!

Maybe in a couple months, you could see $200 permanent price tag for some bundles. Black Friday should have great deals (guessing $150-175 bundles) but that is a while away. I highly doubt we will see anything like "$99-125 slim ps2s prices" because the ps3 does lot more.

If it works, why's it a POS? It's also easy to find a cheap SATA hard drive that's a lot bigger. Either way, it sounds like you already own a PS3, so you wouldn't be interested. I mentioned it for people who wanted an option for a PS3 at a reasonable price.

About 6 months ago, I bought a 500GB SuperSlim PS3 Assassin's Creed III bundle for $219.99 with free shipping and no tax from ebay/newegg. I got like $7 back in ebay bucks from the deal as well so I got it like for $212.99. I have seen plenty of deals around on PS3 now lately. I would hurry up and get a PS3 now because there are so many great games that came out especially recently and the past couple years.
