PS3 price drop RUMOR

If this were to come to fruition it might change everything. Please note the source and I emphasize the word "RUMOR".
New PS3 Price Cut Rumors Are Spreading | PS3 News: If it's Sony related, it's here. Unless it's not.

I guess the price drops work both ways....

N4G.com : $299 Ceramic White PS3 shipping this week, current 40 and 80GB models getting price drop, starting next Monday, USA only.

If true, it will be interesting to see if $299 is the magic price point.

Plays games, internet, blu ray and upgradeable to 2.0 profile. It's a steal...

Would be enough of a drop for me to pick one up. Wonder if they are still going to be bundling games/movies at that price.

Also will wonder how MS responds. Should be good times.

All around price cuts= everyone wins. :up

Its already $299 with the sony card. The real question is will they continue to offer the 100 dollars off when using the card on the PS3 at the new rumored price point.

Of course they would. Credit card financing is a very profitable.

This forum especially knows how reliable denials are, as well as anyone who has seen any previous Sony denials and executive faux pas.

That being said, I'll be placing my order the day it drops to $299 most likely.

I'll pick up a second PS3 just to play Blu-Ray movies if the price drops to $299

 

[gadgtfreek]

I think $299 would be one helluva sales booster.

Good find.

well this upsets me since I just bought one. And my guess is that I woud have trouble asking for the 30 day price guarantee since this si technically a different model---and may not b out for more than 30 days.

Not being a PS3 owner currently, it seems funny to me that all the standards logos are shoved off over to the side of the box.

I will buy it if it hits $299 but if it dont I will wait for Xstreamhd to get up and running and then never worry about a dvd player again.. Cya Slick

Yeah, they hid them on the side. Kinda different from some of the tv's(samsung dlp) that have 400 stickers on the front.

Well, people are still saying that this site is the one that cracked the previous two price drops, so I guess we'll see on 1-28. I really hope they drop it to $299, I like agressive pro consumer moves.

Agreed and this will force a drop on the 360 as well, Possibly undercutting the Wii on the low end (arcade version). Thus possibly dropping the Wii to under $199..

In the end the consumer wins. I like this move.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yeah, I checked the 360 last night, $260 on Amazon. I think you'll see the 360 at $199 too.
