Wow, Ive seen you trolling since the E3, did something scare you there? Was it chewie? or the fact that Kojima travelled from Japan just to shut your buddies?

i went to walmart to by another wiimote and inoticed that there wasnt one ps3 in the ps3 cabinet.SOLD OUT

then i thought about how they are discontinuing the 60gb model. if they all sell out, then they r gone for good right?

Yea, but don't think for one second that Sony doesn't have PLENTY of 60GB PS3s they haven't shipped. They know what they're doin'. They kinda caused a mass panic for the 60GBs, even though they have plenty of already massed produced 60GB PS3s left.

sony said it has enough stock for several months to come and since they expected the price drop to double sales I would bet the have at least a million or two still waiting to be shipped

Yeah it really was a stroke of Genius.

1. Start by offering 5 free bluray movies.

2. Then drop the price $100.

3. Announce the 80gig and confirm it will not have the EE chip.

4. Have a great E3 showing.

5. Let it "accidentally" slip that the 60 gig will be discontinued.

The only people who they pissed off are the people who say they were "planning to buy" one 3 or 4 months down the road. Honestly who cares about them. Worry about'em 3 to 4 months down the road. haha Hook the ones ready to buy today.

My uncle just bought a PS3 today. It was the last unit in the store. I got to play around with it a bit and, I've got to say, it's quite an impressive machine.

Its funny, I purchased my PS3 after the second shipment and have been laughed at by my friends for spending so much, but with the price drop 3 of my friends bought one :roll:. I am a die hard Sony fan, and I am glad that Sony finally made the console more affordable. Mainly, because with more consumers developers have to look seriously at making video games for the PS3. This will hopefully lead to games taking advantage of the multi-core CPU resting in the chest of that case. Sadly, while it will still be a LOOONNNNGGGGG time before we see the great games we have been waiting for, I think that once the ball gets rolling you will find a sleeping Juggernaut might just awake yet.

Irrelevant. It's still in demand at $500.00. It still wont change the fact that many gamers WANT a PS3. Seems like the a great price point is $500 for a non-gimped model.

I honestly don't think the price will come back up. the $599 tag is for a limited bundle that will most likely just happen to run out at the same time as the 60 gig. If you think about it like this it all makes perfect sense what sony is doing, price the 80 gig at 600 so not as many people will want it over the 60 gig but it'll still sell to a degree. then the 60 runs out so retailers aren't stuck with them when the bundle runs out, and with the extra controller packed in they clear out all the sixaxis they have in the warehouse then they drop the 80 gig price to 500 and debut the new rumble controller with out having to toss anything in the trash. I would bet anything that it WILL happen this way.

The fact that the PS3 is selling is no big surprise to me. It's good to see people NOW putting down their "I HATE THE PS3" Banners. Sony took it home this year and now the PS3's will be in more homes this year. :)

i can tell you if the ps3 gets crack, sony's losses would be too big.

cause sony is now selling the ps3 at a lower-than-production cost price. now they're hoping that with more people owning a ps3, the sales of ps3 games would go up as well, dats the part where sony's gonna earn a lot.

so if privacy comes....you guys shud know wad will happen.

Oh yeah, sales have more than doubled since the price drop, and demand is continuing. It's still the top video game seller in amazon. Shaqneel

that showed that people buyed the wii and 360 instead of ps3 because of the price but not the software. it amazes me how humans can think something e.g. the price is too high and say something else e.g. the software suxs that's why i don't want it. wats so bad about sayin' i can't afford it.

you guys need to remember that there are 120 million people who have a PS2. and the majority of those people were always waiting for the PS3 to drop in price, now that it has, even a little bit, we're seeing all those people coming out to buy one. if the price continues to get cheaper all of those PS2 owners will be buying one. Sony fans, in my experience are very loyal to the brand. There are more Xbox fans who have turned over to the Playstation side than Playstation fans who have defected to the Xbox side.

By the end of this year things will start to become clear for a lot of us. Sony sales will really start to pick up.

who cares about madden its just like every football game. I can't believe fans of EA sports don't get tired or feel like every game is repetitive. They are so stupid just stick with one madden or fifa or whatever else football game EA has and stick with it. Stop wasting your money on more of the same crap.

Yep. Excuses. No one like to say, "I can't afford $600" so they just say, "the PS3 has NO games."

It is great that the PS3 is selling like mad since the drop. I'm from Canada and I was driving past my local Rogers Video Store in North Vancouver and I noticed that there was a sign in the window advertising the 60 at 549! I'd check it out. I tired to find the new pricing on the website but it hasn't been updated since Canada Day....I'll post more later with a link!

I wonder what happens when they sell out, though. And when parents can't find a Wii this Christmas, will they opt for the $300-480 Xbox or the $600 PS3? What if MS drops the price just before Halo releases? The war is just beginning! I can't wait to see how it goes down.

Totally true - people don't want to say they can't afford it, so they bash it - but not everyone. I admit I can't afford it, but I won't bash it because of that.

If the 80G is the main model over there, then are we going to stay with the 60G - wtf? I thought that they would want to keep it at one SKU in production (what does SKU stand for -System K Unit? I know it is things like the Premium, Core and the Elite). I reckon they didn't say it, but the 80G is coming to Europe once they are out of 60Gs.

pigsybum

No one really knows what the ps3 costs to produce anymore, execs have said its been profitable for some months already because they fixed a production process of blue ray significantly lowering the cost of production. But most people speculate they are probably around break even at the 499 price point...

I'm interested to see how much this boosts PS3 sales.
I've checked a few stores, and they all still have 5-6 on the shelves every time I've been, but I haven't invested much time in looking around, just a glance.
I think despite the price, people are still waiting for games. Sales will really start to heat up in August, with the big game season starting....

I just purchased a PS3 last week- mainly due to 2 failing 360's. The price drop, 5 movies, and free controller at Circuit City weren't bad either :). Other than a few MS exclusives I'll be missing, I'm really happy that I made the switch. PS3 looks better, sounds better, runs better.... awesome system!

Things are looking up for PS3. If I hadn't bought mine at launch I'd be all over that 5 free blu-ray movies deal.
