For those that don't know you can get a PS3 for $300
This is not Ebay or used, or hunting bargains., it's direct from Sony. You just need to apply for their creditcard.

care to tell me which walmart? so I can give them a call to confirm?
Many people shop at Amazon because they do offer some of the best prices around from time to time. And for a shopper if you already know what you want, then shopping from Amazon will save you a bit of money. With no TAX and free shipping, it makes thes deals even better.
Example:
Amazon.com $499 Ps3 = $499 Ps3 shipped to your door steps.
The same with xbox 360, all their pricing is the same as the total to your door pricing.. xbox 360 $399 = just really just $3...
With the new Price cut you can get a White ELite for $349
$199 arcade + $149 120GB harddrive = the new White Elite
But why is the Black Elite still $399, should it not be $349??
Let take a look at the specs.. !!!!!o_o!!!!!
ahh, I see the $399 Elite comes with a HDMI cable, so that's why there's a $50 differences. It must be a Microsoft HDMI cable then, considering how much they charge for their Harddrives, wifi, and memory cards, $50 for a ...
What does sony proprietary memory that is used on Camera's ,Camcorders, phones, have to do with Console.
And your proprietary memory examples are Bull.
The first link is a 256MB MEMORY STICK that is for OLD Sony camera. you will only buy it if your camera can only support up to 256mb. which is most likely for 8 year old digital camera.
The second link is 4GB pro duo, you can get those for around $25.
Your third link is funny as hec...

First of all, historically, over 75% of console sales occur after the console is dropped to a price less than $200. Microsoft even mentioned that in their statement announcing the price drop. So if you take that percentage into account with the current 20 million Xbox 360’s sold, that’s a lifetime sales number of about 80 million consoles. /Quote
Historically did this work for Xbox or the gamecube? since both sold around 24 million each. Base on that's 75% thing...
you just compare a top of the line PS3 that's was released at $599 to the lowest PS3 model at $399 right now.
The Launch Ps3 was not the same as the $399 Ps3 that's out right now. It has all the chipsets of the PS2, for full BC of PS2 games, a bigger harddrive, and built in card reader.
That's like comparing a $399 xbox pro to a $199 xbox arcade, since the main difference is the harddrive, oh and the xbox 360 at launch doesn't have HDMI (not upgradeble) and have...
lets not forget that Microsoft didn't make a single cent from their first xbox. All they got was RED. They lost over $4.5 BILLION.
Just because you release a new xbox, doesn't mean your old debt automatically gets clear.
"The majority of flat panels being sold are 42 inches or lower meaning their is absolute zero difference between 1080p and 720p."
that is a total lie. There are differences and you will be able to see them if you have NORMAL vision. The only people that can't tell are the ones that need to have their eyes check.
You can never have too much memory,, Never. That's like saying you have too much money.
If you need more Harddrive space you can do that easily with the PS3. Pricing is fair and cheap compare to unreal rip off pricing from the other console company.
If you don't need more Harddrive space then you can use your money else where or save it for something else.
either way it's up to you.
BD/DVD Video Output Format (HDMI):Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr
This works best for me instead of Auto. I forgot were I read this, but this is suppose to be the best setting for BD/DVD Video Output Format because leaving it at auto will sometimes jump back to RGB when watching videos)
1. HDMI cable is cheap around $5. How much does your CAT 5 cable cost for your xbox 360 that you must use to connect from your room to your living room inorder to go online. Or ther otherway around if you place your router in the living room? More than $5 that's for sure.
2. you can still play all games without rumble. So you don't need to rebuy any controller if you don't want to. I can preform all the needed moves and combos just as good with a sixaxis or a dualshock T...
Wifi saved me $20 on CAT5 cables.
Like most people my WIFI Router is in my room near my computer.
My PS3 is in my living room. So inorder for my PS3 to get online I'll either need to get long CAT5 cables and wired it along the walls from my room to the living room or just use the built in PS3 wifi.
The wifi works greats and it save me money and hassle. Perhaps we need to add the cost of CAT5 cable for the xbox 360 because 100 feet CAT5 cable don't come f...
But didn't you said you don't need WIFI, so why does a no wifi PS3 matter to you? It only matters if you need it right? because that's what you have been saying all this time. You are not going to get wifi anyways so why does it matter.
Also the pricing system that people here are using is base on the normal retail pricing and not what you can get it by doing promotional schemes. If you were to base pricing on that I got a PS3 for $200.
Sign up for Sony creditcard = ...
you got to spent money to make money.
3 billion is alot but I know another company that lost 4.3 billion on their First console. Didn't even make a single cent. And The same company is losing over 1.5 billion on estimate repair cost on their 2nd console. And guess what they are doing just fine.
"ummmm matacritic gathers every review of every gaming website and transfers it into a single score .. "
no, they do not. They only gather some and it's like a pick sometimes because they will leave off some sites on some games to improve or lower it's matacritic score.
He won it not bought it. He also got to go to Japan to test drive a Nissan GT-R http://www.gtplanet.net/gt5...
why would sony dump the PS2 when it's still making tons of money.
If they release a wiimote like control, with the sensor bars or just improve more on their EYEToy line, they can still boost sales.
it would be like a Wii but even cheaper.
you can add this and that, but there's always a added cost which you don't seem to talk about much. Can you give me some realistic estimate numbers? How much do you think it will retail for?
The xbox360 pro was $399 in 2005.
A external HD-DVD drive without HDMI port was $179 in the end of 2006.
Buying more HD-DVD drives in 2005 will surely lower the per unit cost, But geting HD-DVD drives in 2006 will still be cheaper, even if you ordered alot less, b...
The sound chip on the SNES is from Sony, all thanks to Ken that the sound on the SNES is so much better then any other console at the time. So Sony and Nintendo did work on the SNES which became an awesome system.
