PS3 Price Drop Rumored?

rowech · 02-28-2009, 10:17 AM

I've read some things in a lot of different places about a PS3 price drop. I think if/when it does, I'm going to buy one along with the Show. Does anyone have a good feel if one is coming and if so, when?

If it goes down to $300, it's worth picking up. When I bought mine I justified it by saying I was going to spend $250 on a Blu-Ray player anyway.

E3 is in May, just a few months away. Got my money on the Sony keynote speech. The various gift card deals that have been going on are, IMO, a way to spur sales between now and then without making it official.

This is probably a stupid quesitons, but what's the situation on the Blu Ray player in the PS3? How does it compare to stand-alone models?

Better than most. Except if you want to analog out each specific audio channel. The new players out this year are still retail for 250/300 for the entry level model. The PS3 is a good value. Annoying thing I have read is that you can't or couldn't integrate it into a Harmony type remote.

You're probably right. I guess I'm surprised he hasn't responded yet.

True. The PS3 using Bluetooth for its remotes.

If/when the PS3 drops I will probably also buy one specifically to play The Show and God of War. I need to start my rationalizing now.

If it hits $300, I'd consider it primarily as a Blu-Ray player, and secondarily as an opportunity to check out some games.

It has been rumored for awhile that it was going to drop sometime this year (April/May) although, Dell has had deals on and off where you could get it alot cheap (got mine for $330 a few months back)
