I don't see why people are so worried about a price cut. If you want the system go buy it. It's that simple.$500-$600 is not a life savings people. If it is, you may be in more trouble than just not owning a PS3.

Ok.... is this a surprise?

If you truly want to play ps3 games, then you would buy it right now.

If you worry about spending 500-600 dollars, then maybe you should ask yourself first, "Do I really want a ps3?"

It's that simple..

All those people waiting for pricecuts, it ain't worth it. 2 years is a long time, a lot can happen, snow mobile acccidents, meteor strikes, wild bull stampedes, your better off just getting it now.

I am suprised. So far there are no " $600 is alot of money , you just don't understand" replies. Or "But my daddy won't buy it for me until it is cheaper" replies. Very impressive!

But my parents wont buy me one though, niether will my grandparents who think $30 is too much when they spend ~$70 on cigarrettes a week. My parents are good with money though, but i might be able to get a PS3 for my birthday. It just so happens to be in march too...

Plz make them stop. What dont they understand about the ps3 not becoming more compact than it already is. People arent always waiting for a slim xbox 360 or a slim computer. The hardware is big and bulky we know but it has to be to do all the things it does (or hopfully will do)

Hello,

First off a comment towards Pimperjones next to those things you listed the Apocalypse or a outbreak of Neohandia could appear!-A Illness were your hands fall off.

But in my opinion the Ps3 is a steal, for one the Blu-Ray drive [Computer RW drive] in my local Best Buy sells for 800$ and the BC for almost all Ps games, those makes up my mind alone! Well more on topic, I don't care about price-cuts Sony's already losing 120$ for every 60gig sold [Correct me if im wrong im almost to the dollar there I believe]. Mainly because of the alliance of Sony and Samsung might have been standard Blu-Ray drive prices if not and imagine a $1200 Ps3 people! [Samsung being the producer of Blu-ray drives]

[Over & Out I'm ready to pass out]

Who knows, the world could come to an end before you get to play a ps3!!! Buy now so you won't have to worry about tomorrow ;) /sarcasm I'm assuming most people who want a ps3 and the games coming out in 2007 and early 2008 will get a ps3 before a price cut. I don't think any gaming fans are that patient (unless they are broke ;))!

I admire your patience. I'm sure you can find someone with a ps3 who will let you play Tekken 6 before 2009 :D.

pfft personally im waiting a week or so after Europe / Aussie lunch to get a PS3 .... due to the fact that a $100 price drop with a month is very likly ( not many people in Australia are prepared to pay $1000 ( 790 US) for PS3 ....

   So my main concern is -- is it worth me buying PS3 at launch or waiting a month or so untill its $100 cheaper because i dont want to spend ALOT of money on PS3 ( Even know its worth it) - when i can wait a short time and get it for less !

If someone want to buy a PS3 do it quickly because Sony is not going to put the processor of the PS2 on PS3, this means that only a 45% of the PS2 games can be played on the PS3, like Europe in the US and Japan will happened too in a near future.

I waited for the PS2 to go done, I can wait for the PS3 as well besides I'm still waiting for some good games to come out for the PS3 (maybe I will get it sooner if I just get a job)

2009 is when HDTVs will be mainstream.  A price drop at that time will be a great incentive for people who just bought HDTVs.

Hmm, not really news worth celebrating. It seems like it'll be a slow couple of years for the PS3 although maybe the power of the Sony brand and a few must have games will see them through.

lol you expect me to believe a word some spoke person from Sony who probably has no idea about anything said? :P Considering that 360 will be getting a price drop very soon, it would only be reasonable for Sony to cut PS3 price as well if they want to be able to continue competing imo.

Why is this even such a big deal?  If you are interested in the system, why would you wait for 2 years to buy one just because the price is gonna go down?  I mean let's be realistic here, there is no way that the price is going to dramatically drop, it's not like today it's 600 bucks, and all of a sudden it drops down to 350 or something, your lucky if a price drop sees the price go down 50 or 100 dollars tops, and in todays gaming age, that is beyond insignificant.   That's a little more than 1 game, or a few months of gamefly.

   The other thing, is that how many times have we heard something concrete sounding from people as high up as the presidents of Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, or what have you, and they come out and tell us that this will or won't happen, and within days sometimes, the complete opposite becomes the reality, so I'm sorry, but I don't think we can put any real stock in something a low level rep says.  Sales and the competition are going to be what dictates a price drop or not, and maybe hardware costs, and that stuff changes so often, that there is no way anyone from any company can firmly declare something 2 years off in the distance.
