| Timmah! said: Ok, this has been bugging me for a little while now. Sony said they were going to deliver a price cut and didn't really, but everyone has bought it hook line and sinker. I will explain... Before 'price cut': PS3 20GB- $499, PS3 60GB- $599 After 'price cut': PS3 60GB- $499, PS3 80GB- $599 (plus motorstorm) Cheapest PS3- no price change, most expensive PS3- no price change... What gives?!? I am actually kind of ticked. I thought, "hey, I might actually buy one for $399" (they did say $100 price drop). I actually concidered buying a PS3 for a second. Instead of a real price drop, however, they just upped the hard disk space for the both models (adding about five or ten bucks to their cost IF THAT) and temporarily packaged a game with the top line model. This is typical slight of hand and corporate BS to build hype around a product. Calling it a price drop is crap, they should have said 'We're going to give you more storage for the same price, plus a free game if you have $600 to spend'. They did this because they can't actually afford to sell the hardware at $399 and felt that they had to artificially build hype around a poorly selling product. I just had to point that crap out! /Rant |
Your missing some important things though. The 60gb model doesn't just have 40 more gb. It also has wifi and three different types of mem card slots. The 80gb has a $60 dollar game and like YfzinJay said you get approx $150 in free movies, plus 20 more gb. I still think it may be coming with the 65nm chip as well, not sure.
