Possibly. I imagine it has more to do with positioning as the fall/winter approaches. Sony probably hopes to snag some sales as dedicated games release (Uncharted) over the holiday season. They are probably looking for a way to counter the Kinect-driven 360 sales they anticipate over the next few months.

Most likely it's a part of their "goodwill tour" to include a price drop from the hacking debacle they (and PS owners) had to suffer through. But also, it's a 5 year old console. I fully expect that Microsoft and Nintendo will also lower their prices at some point.

I don't think I'd buy a PS3 if that was the primary reason for the purchase.

Blu-Ray players are cheaper than the PS3 now. I got mine for $200 - complete with Netflix and Wi-Fi capability.

eh still about $150 too much for using it as a gaming console.... heh but that is just my opinion. $250 is not a bad price though considering the original price of $600.
If you don't stand behind our troops. Please feel free to stand in front of them... PROUD to be an AMERICAN! |
