Story found at http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2007/07/06/ps3-sold-at-target-for-499-99/

Called up my stores and got it confirmed that the ps3 did have a $100 price drop. It seems that it depends on the store, as the article states.

What you can do is do a 110% pricematch at Best Buy, ymmv.

Dont forget the 5 free blu-ray movies for buying this.

Flame Shields on -> don't reply in this thread on why the PS3 is not worth it, etc. Some people that are looking for a good ps3 deal, here it is. I would try the pricematch before it drops in price nationwide.


universal price drop?

ranova, where are you located? I called up a 2 Targets today - one in Philadelphia and one in New Jersey, and both said $599

Seems pretty obvious from the link that it's hit and miss at different Targets. I'm guessing they'll be at $499 in all Target stores (and other stores for that matter) pretty darn soon.

IMO this isn't a hot deal. No one needs this today and since it'll be $499 everywhere VERY soon, I'd wait until a coupon of some sort will take more (maybe 10%) off.

> No one needs this today

Right, because there are no birthdays in the next few days so nobody could possibly want this now.

SONY? Uh, no thanks (ever)

Sony is trying to pump up sales. This is a way to get people to buy. For me it's not so much the price of the system, it's the price of the games. When games are $20 I might bite.

please put HUGE YMMV in the title.

So that means you just bought a PS2?

No luck at the three Targets near my place. Thanks anyway, OP.

What kind of logic is that? This is the reason you kids need to stay in school.

The point of the comment (and logic) is that older generation games are $20, and the current crop are $50 or more. That's just the way it is. If you want $20 games, you'll be buying them later on from the old game bargain bin.

this "kid" is in school. the logic is that the old ps2 games are now $20 each (not all) and if you waited for games to be $20 you would buy the ps2 roughly around this time.

perhaps you also went to school but this "kid" probably attended/attending higher level of education...like college?

if you can not make the connection, maybe you should go to school more.

anyone bashing sony. quit doing it.
since when did this forum turn into a threadcrapping festival
anyway,
if you have purchased a ps3 in the last 30 days - check the store you bought it ad. they may have a low price guarantee = $100+ tax refund

if you have purchased a ps3 in the last 60 days - check your credit card if you bought it that way. I hope to get $100+ tax back from a purchase with a citicard. the bonus is i got the cash to buy it free

Geez, get a room! Thanks for taking the time to make the post, op. Hopefully everyone won't get completely disgusted at the off topic remarks and will make constructive comments.

Confirmed at the Target in Schaumburg, IL. I walked by the PS3 section and they had at least 2 in stock with the price marked as $499.
