Thats a good price for a PS3 so i say go for it. Theres still tons of good games to come out MGS 4, GTA 4, Gran Turismo 5, Killzone 2, Unreal Tournament 3, new Burnout and so much more. Buy the PS3 you will not be dissappointed!

I would say yes, as I'm not too sure about the new emulation software that they are using. Plus, its a 60gb, and if I can get it to communicate with my PC then I have another 2TB's of hard drive space waiting for this stuff. lol

I think you should go ahead and get one if you can get it for that price..I mean you won't enjoy it as much due to the lack of games available for it. But keep in mind that NG:Sigma is a good one that might hold you over and you should definitely get God of War 2 if possible..those 2 games are the only thing that's keeping me happy with my PS3. Games won't really start to hit until holiday and Q1 of next year.

Whoa hold up. what's this about no backwards compatability on the 80 gb. I thought they were just switching the way the backward compatability works, not eliminating it. did i miss something?

He was wrong. Unfortunately, ignorance is a disease that runs rampant on the internet, heh. Nah, he probably just made a mistake, they just no longer have the Emotion Engine running in them in the 80GB, to cut back in costs, the UK actually had their PS3s shipped out like that in the beginning. So yeah, if you WANT to buy a PS3, then that's an amazing price and you should buy it without a second thought. HOWEVER, don't buy it just because it's a good deal. It's still a lot to spend on something you're not completely sure that you want.

The 80 GB will have backwards compatibility via software emulation, while not as good, its not bad and is definately adequate.

If you can get a PS3 for $350, definitely get it. I'm waiting for the price to drop to $399.

I felt the same way and picked mine up a couple of weeks ago. Now I can't wait for NHL 08, Call of Duty 4, Haze, Army of Two, Jericho, Resident Evil 5, etc.

No the best time to buy a PS3 would be 5 years from now when you could buy it for $149 and have access to hundreds of games that cost around $20.

What the . . . Buy the stupid thing already like you people need get our approval to buy a console!
