GONE

...with the above comments, since it looks like Dell has already taken the deal down. :)

Dead deal.

Damn that was fast...I was about to get one for my living room

...how many PS3s were just sold. Thats the best deal I've seen. That was fast.

holy sh! wtf

2.1 stop lieing to yourself f@g

I gotta go see if this is real. I was all geared up for the WalMart deal, but this is the type of thing I've been hoping for.

I hope they don't cancel the order though..... =)

To the person that disagreed, stop hating on me because you didn't land one. LoL!

It must be over already... Page is no longer available... :(

Damn all of you who already have a PS3 but are thinking about purchasing this anyways just cause of the deal!

I don't even own a PS3 yet, and I was thinking about purchasing one very soon, and I would have right here too, if it weren't sold out already!

This one have been one crazy mo-fo deal. $280!?!? Keep resistance, trade in NBA08 towards MGS4 and you've got a better deal than anywhere else.

you know, i can't believe that BC is such a big deal. i for one could care less. with all these crazy ass games coming to the ps3 who's really worried about ps2 games.

i mean honestly.

I didnt realise we were on a Shopping website, i had it in my mind that this is a site full of informative gaming news, reviews and previews. Go defence force go!

Is this for real?

the DEAL OF THE DEAL said $399 ps3 with 2 free games ($120 off)
But someone did it wrong and took $120 off and included the 2 free games.
uh oh. hope it goes through.

The PS3 just plain sucks. It has no games, is too damn expensive and there are no AAA games whatsoever on the system. Why bother?

;-)

Is this true? Isnt that like wii prices? I was saying they should do that. Friggin insane....

Blatant advertising... Got good money out of it?

These ads are irksome, since they are most likely "US only". There is life outside of US...

That's all I have to say. If I didn't already have the 60 gig, I'd be all over this.

I would have bought one at that price...had it still been around...

Ohwell. I'll stick with just my 360 for now.

link no working

People who scream BC are morons and most likely don't even own a PS3. BC is basically just an extra. No one who is a real gamer uses it anyways...we are too busy playing new, great games.

This is spam and should not have been approved to begin with.

Damn why is this US??
I would have easily paid £150...even without games....Damn it sucks it's US only and now it's gone completely :( Maybe next time...

fuk, i missed it.

yea, got one last night, knew it was too good to last. Nd yea, I already hv a 60GB one, cldnt help it, the deal was just tht good.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
