i have all three consoles right now and am swamped with games to play. heck, even with one console there's too much to play this holiday season.
i say if it's a gift then get it for him whatever the cost might be since it sounds like he helped you out and he'd really appreciate it. play the games that you have for your current consoles then pick it up once the price drops.
even if sony didn't lose so much money, they probably wouldn't have dropped the price till late next year anyway.
