I don't work at Best Buy however and have not seen anything about a new system or price cut yet.

If the price goes down to 300 I might just end up being a pswii owner. I don't ever plan on getting a 360 but a ps3 will be a great possibility at $300, I'll just have to wait a couple weeks to save up the money

Currently no price drop announced for the PS3 on Gamestop's, Best Buy's, and Circuit City's website. It may be bogus. More likely it's delayed for now.

Damn, I'd even ask for one at that price (40GB) to get MGS4. I think PS3 might have a fighting chance if they keep lowering the price.

Console war between PS3 and Wii this year?

Article from Engadget this morning:

Quote:
According to Ars Technica, Sony has some big plans for a PlayStation 3 refresh, starting with a phase-out of the 80GB model. According to an "inside source" -- which Ars claims has been consistently right on video game-related predictions -- the console-maker's new plot is starting to take shape, holding fast to a two-SKU approach on packages, upping the hard drive capacity on systems, and including the Dual Shock 3 controller. The new bundles will take the high / low road, with the source stating that the 40GB model will remain on shelves, while the 80GB, Spider-Man 3-inclusive system will disappear, only to be replaced with a 120GB or 160GB configuration. Of course, right now these are just words on a screen, though in light of Best Buy's recent stock changes, there certainly is an air of movement over at Sony.

Well said.

@The new article post, good god, isn't 1-2 models good enough? It really turns interest away from a console when people know they won't have the latest and greatest a week after buying it.

At least when I got mine it was the day of the price cut. Oh well I am getting Motorstorm for free anyway so I'm only missing out on 20gb.
