It amazes me the amount of BS that goes on in this and other forums. Who are these people that come up with these crazy rumors? Do they have no life? Do they have too much time on there hands? I don't get it. Oh well, I pretty much thought it was too good to be true.

Well, I for one was going to buy the PS3 if it would have in fact been reduced to $299. However, since thats not the case, I WILL NOT be purchasing one. Good day...Peace out!

I had heard the 29th, not the 28th. As with video game releases (mainly on Tuesdays).

I never said it wouldn't. However, i was just talking about the rumored price drop that was going around the forums last week and that was getting a lot of attention. The one that talked about a $299 price for the 40gig model and a new white PS3. These was all supposed to happen today. lol. Where do these nerds find the time to come up with the crazy rumors? Why do they do it? They may want to try using the time they burn on starting such rumors on finding a girlfriend. lol

Its a shame. I would have purchased one if it turned out to be true. IMO it would have been a must have at that price point, just for the BlueRay player alone. I'm not really interested in any of the games coming out for the PS3(my xbox360 will keep me busy in the games department for months and years to come) but I want a BlueRay player bad. One that can be upgraded with new features such as the PS3 one offers. Oh well, I guess Sony wont be getting my money anytime soon. lol!

Wow, a *RUMOR* turned out to be untrue. Who would have thought?

Maybe you should spend more time "on finding a girlfriend" and less time complaining about stupid stuff.

WOW...where do you find the time to play all 3 systems? I wish I had that kind of time. My xbox360 with all its great games and xbox live will take care of me for years to come. I just wanted the PS3 for the BlueRay player and upconversions. I heard it has a really great BlueRay player in it. If it ever gets under 300 bones I will get one but wont buy any games for it...just movies.

Uuuhhhh...I was commenting specifically on the rumor that the PS3 was going to be sold for $299 today and that a white PS3 was going to be offered. I never once said that the PS3 would never get another price drop. You may want to try reading the entire post before commenting...just a suggestion.

Nooooooo! Still in college and life is already over for you, jk. Anyways, i'd buy a PS3 for $299. Thats a steal for a Blu-Ray player that plays the full format profile 1.1, Bonus View and iNet connectivity (none currently exist and the PS3 is said to be getting it, but doesn't have it as of yet) and decodes damn near every audio format they put on a disc.

I'd expect any price drop to coincide with a big release. Will that be MGS4 in May or possibly GTAIV in April? I don't know but one thing is for sure there is no reason to drop the price of the PS3 so quickly after the holiday season. Specially when the console sold very well considering it didn't have any "must have" exclusive title.

Expect the PS3 to be $299 or less by 4th qtr this year but not in the first 28 days of 2008 lol. And for the record Sony will deny ANY price reduction until the day it offically hits. Why would any companyannounce a future price drop when it would only lead to a drop in sales for that time period until it's actually reduced. Why else do you think Sony denied the $399 price point even with actual retail adds popping up?

I agree with you...for $299 I'd buy it in a heart beat. But until then, no deal! Like I said before, I will only be purchasing the PS3 for the BluRay player and thats it. None of the games coming out for the PS3 interest in the least.

Good point. However, until its under 300 bones...no deal for me. I was all excited about the rumored price drop. Shame on me for believing anything posted in these forums. lol! Most of them are made up by nerds with way too much time on there hands.

Who does this rumor help more? Sony or MS, seriously, maybe I'm just paranoid but my bet is more of this crap comes from the MS camp than the Sony camp.

Actually it was speculation by some websites. Because of the recent lower development costs (price drop) and Sony passing a new sku through the FCC (white ps3). But so far no price drop, and it seems that new skew is just a bigger HDD

I can see the price drop being true just not the time table. It would be crazy for them to drop the price now. There are no big releases to back up the price drop. It would go unnoticed, there is no reason to buy a PS3 right now.

Does the PS3 really need a price drop? US $399 is great for what you get with it.

Yeah, I tried to warn them. I even posted a sony PR response to against the rumor and all I got were people saying "sony always says that to cover up...". At least this gives sony PR some credibility back.

It amazes me the amount of BS that goes on in this and other forums. Who are these people that come up with these crazy rumors? Do they have no life? Do they have too much time on there hands? I don't get it. Oh well, I pretty much thought it was too good to be true.

Well, I for one was going to buy the PS3 if it would have in fact been reduced to $299. However, since thats not the case, I WILL NOT be purchasing one. Good day...Peace out!

neversummer75
Totally agreed. I was gearing up to get one as well but then I look around and I still see $399? Forget that. I was willing to spend $299 or less just like I did with my Wii and 360 but i will not spend $399 for a PS3 with no bc.
