Probably not no. Its not a matter of the cost. Its the content.

300€ with PS2 BC and Uncharted + Heavenly Sword bundled (like now) and I'd buy it.

This is for persons own other nexgen consoles,PC only, or last gens. If the PS3 got a price cut would you consider the value for say $ 100 price cut, would this entice you to go get a PS3.

Let me put it this way: I consider a console to be worth buying when there are enough games released that I'm interested in that if I were to buy them all at once, they'd cost as much as the console.

Currently that figure is sitting at $60. I very much doubt the PS3 is getting price cuts that deep anytime soon -I certainly hope not, given how much danger even a $350 price point would put the company in right now- and it's going to be a while before my number goes up.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

I already have all three next gen platforms, but I would like to get another PS3. To me a $100 dollar price cut means nothing. If my PS3 breaks down, I will not pay for another unit unless I get;

- PS2 B/C
- Removable Media Slots
- 4 USB Ports

A PS3 without those features is garbage. Sony needs to add those features back in the PS3, and keep the price were it is.

 

haha If you weren't a wuss and dished out $600 like me you would have gotten PS2 B/C and 4 USB ports! I have no idea WTF removable media slots are or do so fuck them.

I hate new PS3 owners - oh no its $400 and NO B/C *starts crying*, and *sniff* only 2 USB slots!!!
