PS3 price drops, new SKU's or bundles - Blu-ray Forum

WeApOn · 07-07-2007, 05:57 PM

I am 100% positive this is going to happen. The reason why Sony "denied" any such plans is simple.. Anyone who hears that it is going to happen will surely hold off buying a PS3 for the next 2 weeks, which will hurt sales in that time period.

But seriously, $499 and FIVE free Blu-Ray dvds!!! That's a $250 discount. I don't even have 5 Blu-Ray movies yet!

Anyone who was previously complaining about the price should have no reason to anymore... But I can see those who don't have HDTV's may still not be able to justify spending $500. Even then, go sell the 5 BD's.

We'll know for sure at E3. If in fact it does turn out to be fake.. nothing will be mentioned there.

heh I will rejoice if it happens, as I want one and a good hdtv. Budget wise that is music to my ears as a decent budget I dont have

For some reason i dont't think this would happen kn ow, not when they are offfering the 5 free blu-rays if anything i would think they would wait till that promotion is over

I don't know if the two could be related as far as whether or not they will drop the price. Look at the HD-DVD camp they keep offering more and more HD-DVD's and making $100 price cuts.

The 5 free Blu-ray movies is a promotion offered by the BDA not Sony in particular, even though they are the biggest player in that arena. So I think if a price drop is around the corner the fact that the BDA is offering the 5 free will not affect the price cut from Sony.

i`ts just good buisness to get the hardware out there and to give people blu-ray dvds so they can expereince the best in audio and video,even if they are gamers its a smart move in the long run to get people to realize that hey even if I do buy a ps3 the movies kick ass too! hence more will be bought and the good word is spread

Some people over at AVM$ have reported that some Target stores have already started selling the PS3 at $499.

It seems much more likely for Christmas than summer. Why do it now when you have people in a spending mood at the end of the year?

jubaiweaponx · 07-08-2007, 04:31 PM

everyone spends at christmas price change or not why not get the ball rolling now and carry it through the new year!

Damiesmallz · 07-08-2007, 04:41 PM

Maybe when the 80 gig model comes out it will replace the 600 dollar spot, and the 60 gig will be 500, just a theory.

BluManta · 07-08-2007, 05:24 PM

Is the 80gb version true???

Damiesmallz · 07-08-2007, 06:33 PM
