I agree, $100 is way too much at this point, NS. I say that $50 could be done though, and keep in mind that Sony looks like it will be getting an additional source of revenue with the premium services thing.

That's my personal prediction, too.  A $50 price cut to the PS3, then have Move bundled in for a total of $349.

how the hell will move be bundled at $349

 

if they take out DS3 and put in Move($30),NAV($20),EYE(20) they could pack in at $299 without a loss.and they will be making profits across other SKU's

But that would be the stupidest thing in the world to not include the DS3.  They will keep the DS3 in there as well as the game you forgot and maybe even a second Move controller since some games require 2.  All that will be for $349 or higher.

how the hell is would be the stupidest thing when all of the DS3's features and buttons are on the MOVE controller.

there is no need of DS3 as you can do everything with MOVE and NAV even without the eyeas there non-motion signals go to PS3 like DS3 through bluetooth.

they will include a second MOVE controller or a NAV not both.

 

and that won't be for $349

 

THEY could release the current 120GB SKU at $249

second they could take out DS3 and release the MOVE bundle at $299

THIRD they could put both DS3 and MOVE with 250gb at $349

Once again you are completely wrong.  The MOVE system only has 1 analog stick.  That right there would mean without the Eye there would be no possible way to play any of the dual analog stick games.

All the rest of your post is the same nonsense where you show you know absolutely nothing about product pricing and bundling.  They don't bundle things based on production cost, but on retail cost.  A $100 bundle that only includes Move, Eye, and a game at retail vs buying the PS3 bundle for $349 which includes a Nav controller as well for the same $100 cost would appear to be a savings of $30-40 at retail value for the consumer.

If they don't bundle Move, no one will buy it because the price of entry for being able to play any game with it is too high to buy standalone.  If they do bundle the PS3 will be back up to $349 or more.  360 will be back to being $100 cheaper for the similar spec machines (Elite vs PS3) even with Natal bundled in that 360.

 

PS3 would be back upto $349 cause they can do it with MOVE only with taking out the DS3,people buying MOVE bundle are buying for the MOVE and can take standalONE DS3's for $40.

DS3's are still $55 a piece.  The leaked info said that Move and the Nav controller combined could be as much as $115.  Talk about a crazy high entry price.

You can buy a DS3 for $40,$55 was the starting price,most sell it at $40-45 now.

Oh really?

Only Walmart and Amazon have it for $45 on sale temporarily.

 

and please next time write outside

 

http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-Dualshock-Wireless-Controller/dp/B0015AARJI

 

amazon has had this sale from last one year,i have been monitoring the price for MOVE price predictions.it is even lower many other places

 

if you are comparing all then you should also know that every retail company prices some thing higher and somethings lower to make profit overall and distinguish itself and it is for all things not just for gaming

But I proved you wrong.  You said most places had DS3's for $40-45, and only 2 places have it for $45.  Zero have it for $40 like you first claimed.  And those sales on Amazon and Walmart are temporary.  They happen randomly throughout the year but the majority of the time the DS3's cost $55 like all those llinks I gave you.
