i don't know if anyone has any info on some of this as i'm interested in buying a ps3 and i need to know that the time i buy is the best time.  I worry that if i buy one this may/june that very soon down the road there will be a price drop.  plus i want to wait and see what exclusives are really going to be coming out for it, as i own a 360 already. i want to be sure that when i buy one there will be games games games!

Price drop? Not worth waiting for. Price drops are always "around the corner". If you wait another two decades, you'll be able to find one at an even lower price.

Exclusives? I'm sure Sony will have them...

Games games games? Depends what you like. There may already be games, games, games out that you like already.

All in all, I wouldn't wait. It's a great console.

Go to Gamestop.com and check for when PS3 games will come out that you'll like. No need to ask us, just wait till the games you like come out for it.

If you are worried about getting the most bang for your buck, then get it earlier. And when the inevitable price drop comes, just pat yourself on the shoulder and say that the $50, $100, $200 you lost in purchasing the machine earlier is easily made up with the time you spent with it.

Awesome. Me too!

So when the price drop comes, we'll say the extra 1 month-6 months we've owned the consoles was well worth whatever the price drop is. :P

July 13th 2007 preferably 9:47 am......no wait.......Sept 21, 2007 3:42pm......etc etc etc.

Seriously, we all know that electronics go down in price.  I bought my tv and now it is cheaper do I regret getting it?  Nope because I have had a blast with it for the last three months.  If you are playing it and enjoying it for an entire month and then the price goes down fifty bucks does it really matter?  Did you not have it for 30 days already?  $1.66 a day?  Did you notice that?

If you have the dough and you want it then get it. 

By the way...how the hell are you a level 21 with 23 posts?

Well, first of all, I personally dont think there will be a price drop for a while as people are still buying it at $600, and each system currently costs sony about $900 to make.  Point is, we are proabably looking at 1.5 years to 2 years until a price break, thats my estimate anyway.  Besides, the others on this board have a point, really the fact that you are getting to play the system earlier and enjoy it longer before the ps4 comes out is something in itself and with the hardware it has, 600 isn't a very bad price to pay.  Anyway, sony's going to have plenty of good exlusives including FF13 and MGS 4 as well as several others.  If you want to wait, i would say buy it in late june around when the good june releases, inclung Ninja Gaiden Sigma come out and then from June all through at least october, Sony has a great lineup of exclusives coming up:  Lair, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Killzone 2, Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly Sword, White knight Story, MGS4 (Rumored for september), and many more.  There are also obviously the big title for both 360 and ps3: GTA 4, Bioshock, Assasins Creed and Stranglehold.  Final Conclusion there are a few good titles now, but if you feel you want to wait, late june is a good time to buy as the road to several great titles starts then.  Hope i could help!
