Im thinking of buying a ps3 soon, but dammmn its expensive. does anyone have any idea wen the price is likely to drop, and what u think it will drop to.
Again with the pricedrops... Want it? Get it. The worst thing that could happen to you is that you missed a 25$ deal. If you are looking for a significant pricedrop, say... 150$, wait something like 2009.Â
Or, pay full launch price and get the rumored but soon to be released 80gb. When? God knows.  Â
I should mention that shopping for it might do you good. I saved 50$ since I bought it at my local EB Games, it was actually cheaper than WalMart, I was shocked :D
I still don't believe it'll drop price by anything until next summer. Losing $270 units is alot- no matter how you cut the cake. No lower production costs can make up $270 in 8 months time.

prodution costs have already gone down they switched to a cheaper way to make the cell, blueray is getting cheaper and they removed the backwards compatability thing so i hope for a $100 cheaper by this christmas.

Sounds like they're making it worse by removing quality to me. I can understand blue-ray getting cheaper- but their blueray player is already the cheapest one on the market and you get more with it. Removing the emulation chip? It makes me wonder how THAT will work properly.
Still... That'd mean they're production costs would have to go down $400. That's a hell of alot regardless of how they cut the corners.

software emulation worked fine for me so far.. but I haven't really played that many games anyway
it just came out like what 6 months ago it might take a while. een though it would be a good idea if they did drop it for the holiday 4 this year's christmas;)
I would not hold your breathe until Sony actually CONFIRMS something. Speculation is purely that, speculation. If you are wanting a price drop, your best deal would be looking at local store ads.  Â
