No price drops are announced atm, but there will be one in the future. GTA4 comes out on April 29th, MGS4 comes out on June 12th, Final Fantasy will be next year sometime.

The best time to get a PS3 is 4:38PM

The PS3 has hit the lowest price point ($399) that it's going to for a long time. Buy now, or wait till 2011.

Probably about a year ago -- 60GIG SKU FTW!!1!

But otherwise, there is now a lot of great titles out there for the PS3. If you don't already have a 360, you should probably pick up a PS3 soon so you don't miss out on the great games that are here (MotorStorm, Warhawk, Uncharted, COD4, etc.) and you'll be prepared for the great games to come (GTAIV, MGS4, LBP, Resistance 2, etc.).

On the other hand, I suppose you could always wait for one of the GT : P or MGS bundles coming out later.

Any time is a great time to get a PS3. Make sure you play it on a HD TV with HDMI

I bought mine when it first came out. I was stocking them so I literally was the first person there to get one. Yay late night Wal-mart.

I say the June bundle with Dualshock 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4. Gives you time to save up munnies and make a more educated purchase (by that I mean buy a huge HDTV too)

I can't stand how people are constantly spouting "price dropz price dropz." I paid the full $600 and I feel it was well worth the money. In order to have nice things you're required to spend a bit of money. That's how life is.

The BEST time was last year when the 60 gig was still around. Now anytime you can find a 80 gig system would be a good time. I saw a ad this weekend that had the 80 gig and a bundle of a game and Blu-Ray movie. The best thing is see if there is a bundle that you want on sale at any time.

I think the real question is: "When will you have enough money to finally buy one"

After you save up, go ahead and buy it. There is no need to wait, when you want something - you go and grab it. :)

The MGS4 bundle will be $499, so there's no difference in price. But you could get a PS3 now, sell the F1 game that comes with it, and buy GTA4 in april. I don't think waiting for the bundle would make much difference, but it's your call.

There was a rumor that a new "slim and lite" version of the PS3 was coming out this fall, but I find it hard to believe. That's some hell of a piece of hardware, and I don't think their engineers could pull it out so soon. Besides, Sony hasn't recovered the investments just yet, so my guess is they'll be delaying that for at least a couple more years, when the biggest exclusives come out.

There's actually many left. Go to a Sam's Club. No one really goes there to buy games. I saw both 20s and 60s recently.

the best moment is always the present moment. there isn't anything like it. I've bought mine at a genuine price of 800$ (considering 2 games anotehr controller, the Ps2 memory stick plug, hdmi cable, ...). It's a hefty price, but it brought me lots of amusement, I don't regret it one bit.

If you want MGS4, get the bundle because you will get a Dualshock 3 AND MGS4 with the PS3. You will love it! :D
