PlayStation 3 40 GB model to get price drop this weekend *UPDATE* |
Ó
Well looks like Sony finally caved in and introduced a price drop. Don't get all excited though, the price drop is only for the discontinued 40 GB model.
A leaked Blockbusters' memo shows that Sony is permanently dropping its price tag down US$ 40 to US$ 360, effective on Sunday.
The price drop isn't really surprising, as they'd want to clear it from the shelves so their newer models can have the space for the holidays. Still, if you're not the type who needs that much space on the hard drive, it's a pretty good deal.
According to the memo, trade-ins of the 40 GB model will sell for US$ 360 as well. Sony's also offering a 40 GB PS3 bundled up with an HDMI cable, Spider-Man the movie and the Transformers game for US$ 400.
UPDATE: Despite reports from Blockbuster employees, SCEA says that the price cut wasn't mandated by them. Seems Blockbuster decided it on their own. So if you want yourself a cheap 40 GB PS3, grab one from their stores next week.

If pricing the 40GB model at 360 dollars DOESN'T SEND A MESSAGE, I do not know what does...
Yeah that's a huge burn!
360 price tag...very cute...
Sony didn't give the go for the price drop.
Blockbuster buys used PS3s for $165 and sells them for $300.
Nice little $135 profit.
I don't get it. What message are you talking about?
Blockbuster wants to say: The PS3 is the new XBOX360, meaning it is the console to get. Also, if the lower end PS3 equals the 360, just imagine what the others can do.
That's what I think the message is.
He means it's ironic that the price tag it now $360. Geddit? XBox360? $360?
