Budious Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I just got my PS3 80GB this week... maybe I can sue like those ****ed off iPhone customers and get a rebate?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightz Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I just got my PS3 80GB this week... maybe I can sue like those ****ed off iPhone customers and get a rebate?! keep your receipt. i'm sure that store you got it from has a policy to price match an item if the price goes down within a set period of time after purchase.

Rudy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I just got my PS3 80GB this week... maybe I can sue like those ****ed off iPhone customers and get a rebate?! if you bought it at a big box store then take it back and wait a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuffgong4 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 is this rumor popping up on any major news sources, I'm just curious because I just got one a few days ago and am hanging on to my receipt for dear life now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookas Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I hope this is true. I already bought a used 60GB PS3 but i'm trying to talk some friends into buying one, this will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightz Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 nope i haven't seen it on any major blogs or anything. the article says the announcement will come on the 28th though, which is next monday, so we'll find out soon enough if it's true or not.

TruckWEB Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Well, since I was looking for a good Blu-Ray player (oh, and a game console!), maybe I should wait until next week before buying it!!! If they put the PS3/40Gb to $299, maybe they will bump the PS3/80Gb to $399 ??? That would be nice, and PS2 compatible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiracyX Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 If this turns out to be true, then i hope the price cut comes over to UK aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Horizons Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 If they hit $300, I'll get one right away. There is really only a couple games that I want, but 300 would be a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuffgong4 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've just looked through the slickdeals and cheapassgamer. The slickdeals post was just a tiny post and quickly ignored by most users when they just continued to speak of the other deal where you get a 100 dollar credit for getting a sony card.

cashman Veteran Posted January 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm so surprised by this news/rumour. Really wasn't expecting anything until the summer (at the earliest). Great news, and will put massive pressure on the 360 to reduce it's price. I think the 360 is most under pressure for a price drop at the moment. If Sony feels as though it's better to make money from licensing/software and extra hardware then go for, sell the console for cost or a loss. Great news though, will ensure the survival of my console of choice (and hopefully bring the price of the 360 down too so I can buy one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas-c Veteran Posted January 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2008 that would make it cheaper than 360 right ? this would play very well if they get it right ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn00pie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have a feeling that if this is true, it will just be a 40gb without Spiderman for $299. Doesn't change the fact that its going to be a great deal. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniqstylz Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 That's not true. You can burn cd's or dvd's with the firmware on it in some cases and update that way. Actually, Profile 2.0 requires an internet connection. 1.0 players will play 2.0 or 1.1 discs, you just won't get all of the interactivity.

trancefreak Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 if this is true ill get my kids the 299 model so they'll keep their hands off of my 60 gb hee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn00pie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Mandatory internet connection? That's odd, doesn't sound very practical... or is it just for extra features or downloading some extra features for the movies? It's not mandatory to play the discs themselves is it? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckWEB Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 January 28 for a price drop is very good. Think about it, most big store (well, here in Canada) offers a 30 day "best price guarantied", so that if you find a better price, you can go back to the store and ask for some money back. So, January 28 would be later than the 30 days (since most PS3 would have been bought for Xmas or Boxing Day). So nobody can go back to the store and ask for the $100 reduction. I hope this rumor is true. I want a Blu-Ray player!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lothodon Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 if it's true, i will buy, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
