Default Do you think E3 will bring a PS3 price drop this year?

It's pretty much a guarantee. The only problem is it might not come until the PS4 is released.

Would suck for my brother if they did another price drop, as he just bought a PS3 just shy of a week ago. He got the now discontinued GoW bundle for only $300 so maybe it was still worth it, so to speak.

Yeah, I think it will be closer to launch, at Gamescom or TGS if they do one.

nah it will happen before the PS4 is launched. I cant see them dropping the price of the PS3 at the same time the PS4 is launched as that could potentially undercut sales of their new console.

BTW, a bit off topic but what do you think of The Baddest Female?

It's alright. Not the best but definitely not the worst.

I concur with this statement. IF a price drop occurs, it will be closer to E3 than it will to PS4 launch. They will want to make it far enough away from PS4 launch so as to not make people either resent having finally bought a PS3 only to be faced with the PS4 option shortly thereafter, or decide to buy a PS3 instead of a PS4 because of a new fantastic price on PS3 just as PS4 launches.

I see a price drop announcement at E3 that way it will give the customers time to purchase new PS3's and when the PS4 is released customers will purchase that too. In a marketing standpoint I don't see a price reduction at launch of PS4.

And with the PS4 being so cheap at 399... I think on the last day of E3, Sony would say "oh by the way, the ps3 is now 249"

I don't know. With the PS4 at $399, I don't see a need for a PS3 price drop at all now.
