Damn $500! I bought mine for $300 off Newegg and got free shipping. Hell, you can even scour Craig's list for a cheep one.

this really isn't a suprise, twas expected to happen anyways.

I wish they would bring back backwards compatability though, sucks to not have it =\

edit: also, does anyone know how much $299.99 is in British pounds? Cause it costs £140 to get my 60gb PS3 repaired... might it be cheaper to just wait for the slim?

No excuses people! If this is true, which it most likely is (Sony can't keep a secret even if the world depended on it), then for all the people who say "I'll buy a PS3 when it's $100 cheaper" or some crap, buy it now, no excuses.
What if I just don't want one?
What if I just don't want one, don't need one, and can't justify the expenditure since I was too busy building my gaming PC that takes the PS3 and makes it it's *****?

Well ok maybe that's a bit out of line (no it isn't) but the point still stands I have a very good excuse for not buying one, which is the "don't want to" one.

It's as if Sony is playing Hide and Seek and everybody already knows he is, but he just refuses to come out of his hiding place.

Did either of you to read Jumps post? He said this was for the people who said "I'll buy a PS3 when it's $100 cheaper" not the people who said "I'd rather get a PC".

Haven't looked at the market for a while but if it's that cheep it can't hurt to search.

You know, I read that wrong the first time through and thought you said "we can put the flamethrower to rest." Which made perfect sense in my mind till I read it more closely. In either case I'm still not buying one. It must be given directly to me for free along with apologies and hookers.
Funny 'cause I feel the same way about the 360.
But that's after reading this article: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93943-Xbox-360s-Death-Rate-is-54-2
Hehe, I know exactly how you feel because I felt the same way when I learned that for three whole years they built them specifically to red ring. It wasn't until '09 that they finally started building Pro's and such like Elites did I finally get one handed to me (free, including apologies and hookers). That 360? Never even gets warm and I play it for hours upon hours.

If you weren't one of the people claiming that the only reason they wouldn't buy a ps3 is the price, then this really doesn't apply to you Sanity.

If this is true it could be a huge boon for Sony (assuming the production costs don't bleed them to death). Should be an interesting holiday season.

Good deal.
Which version is it that you have? I hear the Arcade model doesn't rrod too much.

Is that true or is it still a rumor: that they rushed the 360 out to get the year's jump even though they knew about the rrod. I find it hard to believe they knew about the rrod specifically: they would've known the repair costs would add up the way they have. It's a good thing the brand is owned by MS. Any other company would've gotten thrashed by those costs.

BTW people.
It's official. The slim is coming next month and existing ps3s will be going for $299 (same price as the slim will be at launch) starting tomorrow.

Well then don't get one? Don't be smart-assy with me, youngun, I said "for all the people who say "I'll buy a PS3 when it's $100 cheaper" or some crap, buy it now, no excuses." It's just that so many people have said "I'll buy one when it's $20/$50/$100/$300 cheaper!" and yet even when the price did lower down to the amount, they just wanted it to lower more and more and more. If you don't want one then don't get one, nobody's forcing you to get one.

[sup]*except me in this situation*[/sup]

Really AceDiamond? Really? It's like you're trying nowadays, seriously, why do you keep insulting my integrity this way? If you don't want to buy one, then don't buy one, but for all the people who said "I'll buy one when it's $100 cheaper!" then $100 off the 80GB model making it $299 (or the 120GB bundle at $399) then, you know, they should probably buy it instead of lying. Sounds reasonable to me.

Yes, but I was waiting for the price to lower, but I still don't want one. I just stopped caring for the PS3. There are like two games for the PS3 that aren't available on the 360, inFamous and Fat Princess, the only real games I care for are the multi-platform ones.

<color=white>And Mass Effect 2 of course.
Okay........and I should care why? Seriously, I doubt the purpose of this whole explanation, all it seems to me is you trying to tell me off because you don't want a PS3. Should I care why you don't want one? If you don't want one, fine, but if you did want one and you were just waiting for a $100 price cut or something, tomorrow's the time to get one.

I feel as if you're just trying to flame bait, seriously, why should I care about your problems with the PS3? I don't.

[small]sorry if I'm sounding aggressive, it's just that your input was not exactly needed and seemed really smart-assy[/small]

How appropriate. You fight like a Cow.

But yeah, you look like you're flame-baiting to me. So, I say we settle this with a stare-off.
How appropriate, you squeal like a Chicken! Or something....

By the way, you blinked ;)

...wait, shit!
