If so, count me in! I'll get one just for the BlueRay Player alone. I was on the fence in regards to the PS3 for the longest time, seeing as currently there or no games on it that interest me(my xbox360 has more great games on it than I even know what to do with). However, I just cant pass up on getting a great BlueRay player for 300 bones. Furthermore, if any great games do eventually come out for the PS3 in the near future, I will have the option of picking them up. However, I don't see myself purchasing a game for the PS3 for a very long time(my xbox360 will hold me over for months and years to come). My first will most likely be when MGS4 comes out. I will however be building up my BlueRay collection! Does anyone have credible information that it is true that the PS3 will be selling for 299 on Monday? Please dont respond if you don't have a credible link to back up your statements. I don't care to hear fanboy crap!

Dont worry about that. If it doesnt drop to $299 on Monday like many said it would, I'm not getting one. I WILL not get one until its under 300 bones. I want it mainly for the BlueRay player.

Production costs halved. They have room for another price drop. Nothing desparate about it. If anyone should be desparate it is M$ if the PS3 really drops to $300. Of course lemmings are going to say that even than the 360 will be outselling the PS3. We'll see...

(and answering this post with "Just wait" would be totally weak. of course lemmings are still going to do it because the remark is nearing the end of its possible use.)

K buddy, your not answering my question. I'm not interested in hearing your fanboy crap. I just wanted to know if anyone has any credible information on if the PS3 is truly going to be reduced to $299 on Monday. If so, I'm getting one

If it is I'm pretty sure Sony is going to wait until the day of to tell anybody because if they say it now that will mean ZERO PS3 sales until the price drop.

To be honest with you guys, I couldn't care less about 98% of the games that have been released for the PS3 and the games that are currently in development for it. MGS4, Killzone2 and a few others look good to be. However, the others I couldn't care less about. I want it for the BlueRay player! I'm 100% happy with my xbox360 in the games department.

$299 US? Whats that in £?£180?

I'm not a massive PS3 fan at the moment, as I kinda buy consoles to play games on, and that one thing the PS3 does really do at the moment. However, at that price i'd be interested!

GT5, Killsone 2 and metal gear all interest me- plus i need to complete my console collection

Didn't the Dreamcast have a dramatic price-drop right before they cancelled console manufacturing?

A 200 dollar 360 is more appealing than a 300 dollar PS3

Umm you do realize that GTA and Madden helped get the ps2 to its current point. Now Madden is better on 360(at least 08 was) and GTA4 is coming out the same time as the ps3 version and the 360 version will have exclusive episodic content. Plus the big game library of the ps2 helped too. The ps3 doesn't have that right now. The 360 has a big game library. I've seen many casuals flock to the 360 and still just yesterday, I've seen my local best buy sold out of 360's. Yet i do see a ton of 40gig ps3's still out on the floor.

Well here in europe its a different story the 360 are way at the back of the shop and get no advertising at all where as the ps3s have posters in the windows and are at the top of the shop also not may casuals do reserch before buying all they know is they had a ps2 last gen so why not get a ps3 this gen

It makes very little sense for a company to drop a price that significantly this late in January. If it happened directly after New Years I would think it's possible. February is usually a slower market. People aren't buying Blu-Ray players as Valentine's Day gifts.
