Do you think PS3 will get a price cut soon ?

[Lvl99Sephiroth]

As you may know they just cut the price on the 360 with the cheapest one at $199. Do you think Sony will now cut the price on the PS3 to compete ? I dont have a PS3 yet lol thats why im asking. So if they cut the price by christmas then ill wait until then to buy one. :)

[Hitoshura]

Doubtful

Sony would lose more money if they lowered it.

[dxgirly]

Don't they already make next to nothing off of them? I really doubt they will again.

[Pixel]

They have said no to this like 10 billion times, and the answer is still NO.

[Caelignis]

i heard rumors of sony making a 160gb version, any truth to it? maybe this will lower the other lower gbs? :unsure:

[Zezlar]

Yes the 160 GB is going to be comeing out soon, its going to be the same as the 40GB PS3 I believe just with more space and you also get some games and stuff in the bundle.

Also I doubt sony will drop the price, they acctually sell a quality product and there is no need to cut prices.

[dxgirly]

Why are they not making backwards compatible models anymore? It's kinda pissing me off. :\

[Lvl99Sephiroth]

oh okay thanks ! and yeah there is a 160gb coming out this fall. it comes with Uncharted and Pain. it has 2 usb ports and no backwards compatibility for $499 more details will be announced later. ;)

[Sundance Kid]

The way I see it is, since this 160 gig is coming out for like $500 why keep the 80gig at the same price? Wouldn't that technically be a price cut?

[Zezlar]

I love my MGS4 80GB Bundle, it was well worth the price, if any of you need to get a PS3 buy that bundle if you can it is so much better than the 120 GB. Backwards compatability, MGS4, 2 more USBs, and the media center!

[Sundance Kid]

Yeah you are better off getting the MGS4 bundle, especially seeing as there'll be no more made, although I am very happy with my 40gig at the moment only because I don't need the backwards compatability since I have my ps2 and it works wonderfully all I'm going to do to my 40gig is add more memory to the hard drive
:V

[Sadistic]

There was already a $300 price drop for the PS3, and that reduces the probability of another. With the 80Gb model going for $700 here in Australia (and lower elsewhere) There may be a drop in price in maybe two years, when the next version of the PS3 is released. Admit it, it's inevitable.

[Sundance Kid]

I can honestly see SONY doing a price cut, only because it'll bring in more customers do to affordability

[iThe Princei]

This was answered at the e3 conference for sony 2 months ago, and it did drop. The 80 gb playstation dropped 100 dollars this september.

[Sundance Kid]

See?

What did I say? it makes sense.
:V

[topgunffx]

when it comes time for me to buy one i hope its cheaper

[Whiplash]

I can't see it happening but it's nice to dream.

[Moklin]

Its very hard to Sony to low PS3 price. I want to buy one but looks like i will have to wait a long time until they cut the price.

[dxgirly]

Thats not really an actual price cut though since they're taking away one of it's main features

Agreed:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:nag::nag::nag::nag::nag: SSSSOOOOOOOONNNNNNNYYYYYYY!

[ZenTzen]

they will in the future:awesome:

[olorin818]

I saw ps3 40 GB edition in price of around 250 pounds, I think they were higher few months ago, SONY already reaspond to MICROSFT cut prices,

[Misschoco]

What are sales for?

[olorin818]

What are sales for?

I dunno how about rest of people here, but when I will be getting my ps3 or xbox360 I will only look to buy new one, I dont want buy used one...

[Misschoco]

I wasnt refering to the distribution of used consoles.

How come? You hate saving $100+??

[olorin818]

no, not at that cost, when I buy expenesive stuff, I want it to have new one, I hate used stuff, I never buy anything that was used already

oh, you mean like boxing day sales? yeh they are good deals, but you have to wait to find one.

[dxgirly]

^I buy almost everything gaming related used. *shrug* To each their own I guess

[Hitoshura]

Why are they not making backwards compatible models anymore? It's kinda pissing me off. :

Maybe because PS2s are still selling extraordinarily well ?

[Pixel]

Maybe because PS2s are still selling extraordinarily well ?

And because most people who buy a PS3 have a PS2 (or used too). And you but a PS3 for PS3 games.

They are already loosing enough money as it is.

[dxgirly]

Maybe because PS2s are still selling extraordinarily well ?


I suppose. But I know I'd rather have one system to do both than two to get the job done

[Gaia]

It would be nice if Sony lowered the price on it, -_- I still need to get one- I'll probably get it around Christmas time but I didn't know that there was a newer version coming out? Is it the small one?
