Forums - Sony - PS3 to drop to $299.99 this Saturday. Sort of...

If you go to wal-mart.com, this Saturday at 8am they are having a $100 gift card thrown in with all 80 gig $399 PS3's, esentially making it $299.99 if you could someone convert that gift card into cash value.

 

Real good deal imho, and should put the PS3 ahead of the 360 in US sales next week.

 

Yes, I just posted on a Sony forum but figure I would give the heads up.



It's just that simple.

I doubt it will outsell the 360 because of this....



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

They did the same thing during father's day weekend this summer



if multiple stores start offering deals like this, i wonder if it'll lead to an official price drop.

Always up to game.

Great deal, but I think I am going to wait to see what 2009 bundles Sony throws out before I pick up a PS3.

We don't track Wal-Mart, so it will make no difference to our numbers.

 That never made any sense to me.  How can you even hope to be accurate when you don't include the nation's biggest retailer?



Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

 It's not that VGC doesn't want to track Walmart, Walmart just doesn't release their numbers.... to anyone.



a real price cut would be nice but how many times have sony said no? but i guess 100 dollar gift card is just as good.
