So basically in the last year I've kinda splurged on game consoles. I have a Wii and 360, but I was really thinking about saving for a PS3. I had a few concerns, however.. a lot of 360 and PS3 have the same titles, and also PS3 lacks a solid lineup of must-get games (as far as I know). But with LittleBigPlanet coming out (played it on my friend's ps3) and a possibllity of many great PS3 games coming up this Winter Break.. is it worth saving for PS3?

Also, I've heard rumors with Wii and 360 prices so ow, PS3 may be expecting a price cut, what do you guys think about it? Is it gonna happen, and when?

I personally dont think it will drop any time soon, but dont quote me on that. The PS3 already has a pretty good list of exclusives, and TONS more great exclusives on the way.

Sony is already losing money by having the PS3 at the current price so no price drop seen for maybe another year or 2. I would defintely save for it for the many games coming out soon.

If it drops in price, it will inevitably lose more features at the rate Sony has been going. By the time it gets to be a $200 console, it will probably be down to a single USB port, ethernet only and god knows what else gone. :?

duude see the value of ps3 complete entertainment system even creative 7.1 cost 350$, comparing it to ps3 its nothing man.

400$is a nice value get it now, 2 usb ports, wireless, BD player, full hd 1080 support, bluetooth, replaceable hdd, increasing games library and exclusives, completer entertainment system lots more but even seperate bd player cost 400$ or more,

its a good value and i dont think there will be price drop or sony will be gged

as someone else posted a few days ago, you can get a ps 3 for 250 dollars brand new. all you have to do is go to sonys website sonystyle.com and if you apply for thier credit card you get 150.00 off your first purchase at sonystyle.com. plus all orders over 100.00 are free shipping. so you can get a ps 3 normally 399.00 for 250.00

the playstation 3s are under blueray players there
