PlayStation 3 PS3 Price Drop Temporary?

[Patriot]

As you probably know already, the PS3 dropped its price by $100, but I just heard on Gametrailers.com that the price drop is temporary:

Man, if this is true I'll really be disappointed with Sony.

Just grab one while they are cheaper then.

I might actually get one but I'll wait another year.

They need to do something.

Sony's already gone and angered its fan base with its lack of online gaming and outrageous prices.

I am a big fan of sony but with what they did with PS3 I may not be for very long,oh and ya the price is going back up to $600 is what ive heard. what are thay doing.

It's sad that they dropped the price and raised it just to get some extra publicity and spark a little more interest.

No one is going to beat the Wii because of it's price and wide range of appeal. If it wasn't for that controller, we'd have the virtual console, if it wasn't for that, we'd just have another Gamecube.

I heard about that, apparently it's at all the WalMart stores
Damn you guys are lucky:lol:

There's tons of PS3's sitting on the shelves, and hardly any Wii's. Are either released there yet?

The PS3 has failed miserably and the price drop is to create a buzz and a marketing strategy in order to compete with the other companies. I expect more price drop at the rate Sony is going. It's definitely not worth purchasing right now with the lack of games and multiplayer game.

I wouldn't say the PS3 has failed miserably.. In fact the XBOX 360 hasn't made a dime more than the PS3 has. Both are selling at a loss right now.

If I had the choice between the two I think I'm leaning more towards PS3 right now anyway.

I heard the price drop is only until the 40GB PS3's sell out. After that Sony plans to release a 60GB version from what I've heard.

Andrew, it's a really tough call between purchasing a PS3 and a Xbox 360. The PS3 is slightly better in graphics and comes along with Blu-Ray. The game selection right now for the PS3 isn't great in compare to the Xbox 360. I think PS3 has free online play whereas Xbox 360 charge you $50 a year. There's seems to be a lot of detective 360 out there even though they been out much longer. However, the 360 has many gret titles out right now. In terms of bang for your buck, the PS3 is the way to go but for me I think it's ahrd to justify paying that much for a system.
