+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 18, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted August 18, 2009 In a move that no one could have possibly anticipated, Sony announces a price drop along with the news of the PlayStation 3 Slim, with the current 80GB system dropping to $299 until replaced. It almost doesn't seem worth it, really. The PlayStation 3 slim is right around the corner, selling for $299 with a 120GB hard drive, so why buy the 80GB system for $299? Well, it's bigger, and you might be able to grab it in a bundle if you play yor cards right? Either way, it's your $299 PlayStation 3 option until the Slim hits early next month. Not mentioned during the press conference, a quick call to GameStop confirms that the 160GB system has dropped to $399 as well, so if you've been holding off on picking one up, now is the time.

WastedJoker Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I thought there was a topic dedicated to GDC already? Stuff should stay in there and have a properly updated opening post, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 18, 2009 Author Subscriber² Share Posted August 18, 2009 Do we really need another topic? https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...=813076&hl= Price drop affects current models, so yeah it's separate news. I thought there was a topic dedicated to GDC already? Stuff should stay in there and have a properly updated opening post, imo. Conference topics get too messy and people miss news, we've always separated the important stuff from them once the show is over for individual discussion. Might make the forum activity at the top messy, but it dies down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
