I think everyone just ran to Circuit City to get a PS3 now while there still in stock and use the 30 day price protection when the ad comes out.

I think that most people in this forum (including me) already have a ps3 so they are not that concerned. It might help boost ps3 sales a bit but the price is still too high for the average gamer. Add that to the current lack of good titles and many people will still remain uninterested. Hopefully, once the good games start to come out, people will pay attention.

LMAO! Yeah probly.

I find it odd that the add is not for another 2 weeks. I am not famililar with how companies do their weekly advertisements and it looks legitimate but i dont see how some one can get an ad that is not do out for another 2 weeks...Guess i am being negative, but if it is true all the better...

Jazar is correct. This is an official price drop and not just a Circuit City special. Great news for new PS3 buyers.

[Jack Torrance]

This is the kick in the arse the PS3/BD needs to get through summer. The 4th quarter is going to get very interesting.

I think the date is a day or two after E3 ends, so I'm expecting the 'official' announcement to come at the show.

in any case, as long as it brings more people to the Playstation/Bluray side, this is good news.

A Circuit City manager broke a few rules.

The managers get the ads a few weeks before they print, now, those ads shouldn't leak because then your competition knows what you plan and can attempt to outmarket you.

But, given that they're publicly owned companies, most of the sales are well known between the entities. I know when I was at Hastings, we found out about alot of our competitions marketing decisions weeks before. We especially loved hearing that BB wasn't going to carry a title .
