Well since 60gb will not be around long. You would be able to buy 2 $299 prem 360 for the price of one PS3.

2 1/2 or 3 depend on if the 60gb PS3's are still there. But I wouldn't see the point of buying a 360 without a HDD. So many things would be missed. The $299 Premium would be excellent though.

Do not get your hopes up. One Canadian retailer makes this just a rumor in my opinion. Though with both Bioshock and Halo3 coming out so soon after proposed price drop, I could see that being devastating.

Sweet I'll be able to buy 10, in case the other 9 dies. But I highly doubt Microsoft will drop the price of the Crapbox360 since they are losing billions on fixing the already broken ones.

is there any real proof on the price cut or is this a bogus rumor. If ms has a price cut then it could back fire. i mean first they extend the warranty to three years which is going to cost billions not just 1 billion. then ms says hey lets drop hundred dollars and lose more money. i see a price drop but not now and not by that much. The point of business is to make money not lose it.

Interesting.

This could be a real blow for the Playstation 3. Still, the system lacks reliability and I'm not so certain if buying a system with a 33% fail rate is a good idea at any time. I've got lucky with mine so far....

Yeah, but I still wouldn't see the point of buying one without an HDD because I like to download a lot of trailers, demos, and add-ons. Good for those who want it but I'll take the $299 premium.

yeah. no fiction here. It took M$4 weeks and 4 days to get my roomates 360 back to him. all they did for him was throw him 800 M$ points for the trouble, meanwhile he misses the Halo 3 beta. and you should actually add another9 daysto that becasue thats how long it took for him to get the coffin in the mailto send it back to them in.

There will be massive exodus. Microsoft will win the console war against the PS3. M$'s best move was sabotaging the PS3's release with Gears. Now they will do with with a price drop, GTAIV and Halo 3.

I'll certainly get one if those are the new 65nm versions. Still not worth the high risk of failure. Definitely not moving support to 360 by any means.

Seriously doubt it is going to happen too.

True, but how many gamers on these boards insist they are not interested in anything online related. Of course most of them are just stubborn not to pay for online, but there are many gamers who just want to grab a game, enjoy its SP adventure and move on (just like the good ole days before online console gaming). This is sumthin the casual market will just eat up if MS does the price drop correctly.

Game On...

[QUOTE="Reyes360"]199 core with a 512 memory card ??? oh man I can buy 3 of them for the price of the Playstation............. oh my SillyManimal

Since when is the core sku not garbage?

Yeah but little johny wants a PS3,360 at 199.99 with memory kit it's 50.00 cheaper than the WII . If M$ does a 199.99 core it will be the end of the PS3. WII might drop it's price. 360 sales would go thru the roof. Don't discount the 299.99 premium also. Little johny doesn't need the HD to play any games, and anyways if he needs it he can ask for birthday.199.99 is the 80% mark becuse the kids will get it for christmas. The PS3 nope, it won't be under the christmas trees this year. sorry that won't happen till 2009, and by then therewill be a new nintendo tocontend with. 10 year console that is the mostblastphemous thing I have ever heard.

ISA_Scum

How about wasting $600 on a console with no good exclusive games? Bought your 360 already? Warranty has you covered. Gonna buy a new 360? New chips and you still get a warranty. This whole failure rate is ridiculously blown out of proportion. Do the braindead cows forget the DRE epidemic the PS2 had? Oh, I don't remember Sony addressing that with a 3 year warranty, do you? Oh, and which console still won that gen sales wise?:roll:

@topic: It's over for Wii and PS3 anwyays, with titles like Halo 3, Mass Effect, and GTA IV. But a price drop would inflict massive damage, no question.

excellent point about the hardware failures, and yes, a price drop will most likely take the PS3 completely out of contention this gen

Heh, what a tool. Cows can't defend the fact that PS3 has no good exclusive titles, so they use weak, pathetic arguments such as failure rates. Tell me, tool, do ya remember a little thing called DRE? I guess you wanna trick yourself into believing noone ever had to rebuy a PS2, and noone ever had to repair it. And yet even with known, publicized hardware issues, the PS2 still won in sales. Eh, maybe it had to do with that huge gaming library that had a buncha great exclusives? Something that PS3 doesn't have? :roll:

You can't have a KO punch and a TKO at the same time, 3 knockdown rule is a tko a knockout punch could come from the frist or second knockdown, even if the 3rd knockdown is a knockout punch they still class it as a TKO and not a KO......... bah never mind.

instead of acting like a 4th grader and calling people names act like an adult. You have two posts that say the same thing about dre. dre wasn't as big as the 360 problems. Don't think that the 360 problem are alright just because the ps2 had a small hardware problem. Sony never had to spend billions just to get the ps2 fixed and never guaranteed the ps2 would break.

@topic: It's over for Wii and PS3 anwyays, with titles like Halo 3, Mass Effect, and GTA IV. But a price drop would inflict massive damage, no question.

And exactly how is it over for the Wii? Contrary to many fanboys thoughts, the Wii is not only selling because of the price. It's because it offers a new and yes novel way of playing games. And I will be the first to agree that the game lineup isn't the best right now, but the people buying the Wii don't want to play Halo, Gears of War, Bioshock, or Mass Effect.

Yes the price drop will help sell systems, but it probably won't make a significant impact on Wii sales.

The Wii has captured the imagination of people and it is at the point where a large portion of the population is trying to get one. Just go ask your local retailers here in the US if they have any Wii's and how fast they sell. It is crazy.
