| D-FENS said: We need to realize that there is a clear distinction between MODEL and BRAND. The LOW price of the PS3 BRAND is not set to $499, that's simply the price of the 60gb MODEL! If SONY wanted to set up a $499 entry price for the PS3 brand, why didn't they drop the 60gb to $499, when they canned the 20gb? The 20gb MODEL was sold for $499 until they axed it. The 60gb MODEL will (now) be sold for $499 until they run out of stock The 80gb MODEL will sell for $599 UNTIL SONY SAYS OTHERWISE! For comparison: I could argue that LOGICALLY, MS will issue a price cut because it's now cheaper for them to make consoles, or they have cheap elven labor, or whatever, but the POINT OF FACT is that MS has not announced a price drop, and neither has SONY (for the 80gb model). Until a REAL source comes out and announces a $499 80gb, you're just reading tea leaves. In fact, I now see how dubiously clever SONY can be. I LOGICALLY believe that they HAVE NO PRICE CUT. Now, we can buy a 60gb for $499, until they run out of stock, just like we could have bought a 20gb, until it ran out of stock. But, in the end, we'll still have a SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR PS3! |
Then go buy one for $499 and stop whinig about it.
This is getting taxing, how many of these threads do we need?
@Avalach21, I think you're exactly right about the 80gb going to $500 after the 60gb is gone. People can make a decision to wait, or get the 100% machine, with the EE chipset and all.
Mods, how about making an official "Bitching and Moaning about the PS3 thread"?
I think it should cover it all.
