| 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 |
Why would you even suspect the 20 GB model to come back it has been at least 2 months since the 20GB model got the AX? And if you post here you probably already knew that. (so you really did not think about buying one for a second) . Really the 60 GB PS3 at 499.99 might be the best deal in video game console History, the 100 dollars brings it in line with the High end 360 and you get way more from the system for your money.
Just to recap are you really going to base your gaming decision on 100 dollars? over 6-7 year (the very least a life of a Sony system will be) that translates to about a 15-20 dollar a year cost. Sony said they were going to a direction that was going to make more storage a must (I for one hate Microsoft's 3 headed red ring breathing monster for offering a range of 0-120 gb)
Please let us know if you can think of any tech device that can do as much as a PS3 with a cost of$500 or less.
