When this happens or what the new price is is unknown. But I have only one thing to say.

I knew it was going to happen! :lol:

My predictions, they'll drop it to no more than $500, no less than $400.

Oh really? I could have told you that, and thats what the guys at Gamestop are saying. I think it was kind of arrogant that Sony thought they could slap any price tag on their system and people would flock to it and Nintendo and Microsoft would just fall in sales.

Exactly. Cash is definately the factor in who buys what next-gen system. If it dropped to $400 I'd think about getting one if any good games come out for it. My local gamestop had a half-price sale on PS3s for a day, $300 for the good 1. Too bad I didn't find out til afterward.

Drop another 100 and I'll buy it. I really want one, but they're too damn expensive.

I just posted about this on Gamefaqs. I give it 10 minutes before I'm being flamed and charbroiled.

I had a good laugh at this. People who flocked out to get the system and the one single game that was decent are going to feel sooooo ripped off when in a year someone can go and get the same system for $100+ less.

I really do think the inital sales of the PS3 were pure hype. It was the hard core Sony fan boys, and the hype of the brand new system. "Hey I just got a PS3....". It was also the Christmas rush, the PS3 was the "top ticket" gift. There are plenty of parents that would get the "top ticket" item for their kids for Christmas. But now that the hype has died down, and the holiday season is over...a $600 system (+like what $50-60 tax?) + $60 games is just ridiculous and therefor sales have dropped quite a bit.

It's just to damn much money for the average gamer to handle. And I play my Xbox 360 quite a bit and buy lots of games, but I still would call myself the average gamer.

I think the reason people didn't flock to the system is for "once" people realized Sony didn't do to grand of a job. The Wii and 360>PS3

Nintendo will always be the true kings of gaming.

I'll buy a PS3 for one (or more) of these three reasons:

1) if I really, I really want to watch blu-ray movies

2) if there comes a point where the PS3 has a lot of killer games released

3) if my PS2 breaks down and I can't get it fixed or buy another one

Figures, Sony's been cocky about the PS3 since even before the release. I figured it wouldn't do so well, but I dont' want it too bomb, cause I like the PS2, and the PS1. Still, nothing I want on the system yet.
