Untill then dont expect the price to drop any more than $50, if that. Dazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports are also circulating that the PS3 wont ship with the 60gb HDD that's required to play games, so if you dont buy it at the time you get your console at a huge premium (close to $200 if you use the 360's HDD as a guide) then you cant play your new games on it, only your old ps2/ps1 games, so the PS3 isnt going to be cheap.Dazza.
