We all know that the 40GB $400 PS3 is going to eventually come. One thing I think people haven't realized is certain stores such as GameStop still have the 20GB PS3 for sale for $450. If the $400 PS3 comes than I'm sure GameStop will lower the 20GB model to $350. So if I am right and you don't currently have a PS3 but want a cheap one, wait till the $400 one is out and than buy the 20GB model.

Why not?

That was the only model I ever considered buying. I don't need the wireless or the multi-card reader. I was really surprised when they discontinued it.

I would buy one w/o HDD and then buy a 120 GB chap HDD myself.

if your mindless and senseless post was not enough to make people discredit your opinion, then your rediculous sig will certainly do the job, where practically every price in sig is wrong, some of them are WAY off. btw you dont even need half those things...cows are pathetic

agreed. Sony should have never discontinued the 20GB version. If they hadn't, they could have 20GB at $350, 40GB at $400, and 80GB at $500 (after the 60GB model depletes). They would have been much more competitive with the 360 price-wise this way.

because it was selling so bad that Sony had to stop the production of it. Stores like Best Buy wouldn't even take them anymore. So I don't think Sony can/will drop the price of it and it would probably be up to the store that sells it.

If I am going to spend $350 I am not going to waste it on the 20gb. I am going to spend $50 extra and get the 40gb.

The PS3 installs game on the HDD, so the load times are sped up, therefore it's taking up a lot of space. My PS3 has about 8 or 9 gb used up (I'll have to go check), while I've only used 2 or 3 on my 360.

Yes, because of wishful thinking and rumours. If we believed those, we'd believe that MGS4 and FFXIII were coming to the 360.

Does anyone have any hard proof, or just rumours, non-conclusive evidence, and wishful thinking?

Furthermore, I don't see why Sony would come out with a $400 PS3. I mean, sure, it'll sell well, but they're losing money on the current price points, why would they drop the PS3 price and lose more money? What if the $400 didn't sell well? They would just keep losing money, and then what would Sony do then? Raise the price back up?

I'm not saying $400 would be bad for the consumer, tha'd be great, but it just may end up hurting Sony depending on how the sales go. And don't say that it will sell much much better, because there's still the possibility of it not.

I'm just looking at all the aspects of this. Chances are it will sell better, but it may not.

Yeah. According to Sony, they are under no pressure to drop the PS3's price, so why are all the Cows expecting them to do it?

Let me put it this way...I'll believe it when I see it. I'm sure a $400 PS3 will come eventually but I'm not so sure it will be soon myself, the fact that the source of the rumors originally was Ozymandias (Microsoft employee/shill) doesn't help things any. I was telling people speculating about a new PSP that it wouldn't be here for awhile yet for more than a year before it was announced and I also told them it wouldn't have two analog nubs or internal storage like everyone was hoping for..so I've got a decent record about these things.

My point is that is not proof. The words in that article like "evidence, suggests, speculation, rumored" means it isn't confirmed. Nothing is confirmed until Sony says so.

The 40GB and price point aren't for sure. It's all guesses at this point.

Heck even if you have a PSP its hardly rocket science transfering the files over to the 20GB.
