Thats a hefty price drop you have there. Dont expect one anytime soon like that, but there are always deals and stuff. Christmas time should be the time for a cheaper system but dont quote me..

I'd say that's a good possibility that there will be another drop around the holidays, doubt it will be $200 though. Just keep saving and you'll get there.

I think the 60GB is only $500 (still expensive though), and also sony style has some card sign-up thing you can do to get a 350 dollar ps3 -- you can just not use the card after the deal too

I think a $50 price drop will come around January. I also beleive that once the 60gb ps3 is sold out, they will remove motorstorm from the 80gb, and drop the price to $500.

If you have a Meijer around you, Friday and Saturday they are having a 20% off general merchandise sell when you buy it with a Meijer Credit Card. Also if it's your first purchase you get an additional 10% off. So you would get a 60GB PS3 for $359.99. A nice deal I think.

there might be a price drop for the holidays but i doubt it i'd say it will keep the 500$ price tag for a long time to come.

Apply for a credit card from an electronics store when there is a "no interest for (X) months" type deals, and just pay it off gradually for 20 bucks a month or whatever and build a good credit score..

No way. The only reason Sony even dropped the price on the 60GB model is because they are going to stop making those & sell the 80GB units instead. As soon as the 60GB units are gone, the 80 GB units will retail for $600, so there won't be another pricedrop any time soon.

If that's true, and lets say the 60GB sell out by the holidays this winter.

360 premium costs $350 vs PS3 $600. It will be game over for PS3 especially the 360 has way more games and not to mention the new HDMI and 65mn chips will be in the xboxes.

My guess is Sony will release a $400 SKU.
