Forums - Sony - PS3 discounted on Amazon

Spankey on 27 January 2009

wow I got a shock - I thought the Title of the OP was PS3 Discontinued on Amazon
I nearly sh4t myself...

Nice deal - If this trend continues at other retailers, I wonder if the price will drop soon...or already has dropped to some retailers.
Could just be trying to shift excess holiday stock too though.

 

also...DRM?

This is a sweet deal. I really hope they keep it this price in mid-end February, that's when I plan to get my PS3 =S.

@Spankey - I thought the same exact thing, lol.  I was like, w..t..f..

@Serious_frusting - Um... Are you serious, did you even read the main post, did you even think to look.  I hope your pulling the sarcasm trick.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

^ I read somewhere that it is the deal of the day so if you're getting a PS3 and what it cheaper then I don't think you will have the same deal from Amazon.



PSN ID: T_Gears

End of 2009 ltd sales:

Wii = 67-68m

X360 = 38-39m

PS3 = 34-35m

Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).

it is the deal of the day. Just go to games, then on the left there is a link to the deal of the day. This is a special videogame only deal of the day page.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

wow, that is like 250 Euros - the price of a Wii here.

Price at amazon is without taxes, the Euro price for the Wii is including VAT.
VAT is around 19%, so $349 * 1.19 = $415 ==313 Euro's.

Nice discount though

 

amazon doesn't have tax at all except you live in cali

Well, here in Italy the biggest stores sell PS3s for 329 euros at the moment (I don't know for how long it will keep going but it started over 2 weeks ago).

You still have to pay taxes, if you're living in another country
