Waiting for the price on the PS3 to go down!!!

gregdavidson · February 5th, 2008

Even at $399 most people would say that the PS3 is a complete RIP OFF!!! Does anyone know when the price is going to go down to maybe $199? I think that's reasonable. What do you think?

im going to have to agree with Giz. Its just the next gen systems cost so much more to produce that the last ones, and don't bring up the will cus its just last gen with motion control

Sony has lost so much money from the PS3, there's no way in hell it'll go down any time soon, especially this early.

i noticed that there are so many sony haters on this forums that they have gotten abundance enough to make outrages claim lately, all i would like to see is some prof as we know the 360 has cost Microsoft at least 1 billion dollars

$199??? :lol:

I got mine for a clean $600. I traded in my old PS2 and twenty or so games for $200 worth of trade-ins, and it's worth every penny.

If the PS3 is a rip off at $399, what does that make the 360?? Gold-plated dog shit?

Sony apparently just managed to cut production costs in half. They probably won't drop the prices any more some time to recoup any losses. I could only see them dropping prices if Microsoft does so to make up for the poor line-up of releases this year on the 360.

You must be a real gaming addict to pay $600 for a PS3. Either that or you have a really high paying job or come from a rich family.

They are down to 400 already. I disagree anyone young and with money that wants to buy something ,has no real needs of money to support anything such as a family , car, girl friend can buy a PS3 without question. Not very responsbile but as long as money in the bank and mother and father pay for college and everything else why not buy what you want ?

That is the world today since the 80's.

did you read what he said? he talked about how he subtracted $200 off the price in trade-in's which is what i did to, but i waited for the 60GB model to drop to $500 before hand. Besides anyone with a minimum wage job could earn $600 in 2 weeks if they had a full time job. Obviously thats without expenses, but older people with expenses ore obviously making higher incomes.

now think about this if you were to get the cheaper $400 model, most people already have a ps2 and abundance of games. for me to knock $200 of that was the system 2 controllers and 14 games. so thats now a $200 system. under minimum wage you could make that in 27.5 hrs, or 3.5 days.
