Mendon Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Don't know how long it will last, but Amazon today is selling the 80gb PS3 for $349 with free shipping. That's a $50 savings and puts it cheaper than the Xbox360 Elite, which Amazon is selling for $399.

Reaperman Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 now that is big news. Too bad most of us in this subforum already have one because that's a helluva deal. it means one could get an extra controller or another game with far less guilt.

ianoid Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 There has been a lot of talk about an upcoming spring price drop on the PS3. So if I was going to buy a second, I would be waiting to see how the year pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Good price for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 That's nice, considering no sales tax. I got mine at Target. If you open a Target Red Card account, you get 10% off. So I got mine for $360 plus tax. The tax pretty much kills the discount...but better than nothing I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thats awesome....I wish I could get another unit but Ill wait and see if they drop the price officially later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 I noticed just a few minutes ago that the price is back up to $399, so I guess this must have been a Gold Box Sale and Amazon must have sold the number of units they intended to have available for the sale. Thats awesome....I wish I could get another unit but Ill wait and see if they drop the price officially later on. I did buy a 2nd PS3, the Metal Gear Solid 4 Gun Metal Grey bundle that Amazon had for sale at $390 at Christmas time, because A) I like the color of the console; B) I wanted a PS3 for my gaming room because my other PS3 is in the living room for family Blu-ray movie viewing. I see Amazon no longer is selling the MGS4 bundle but individual sellers are and asking over $600 for them. Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever networked the two PS3's? Just curious as to the ease of doing this and if many games support it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKaiju Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 If you missed the Amazon sale, Dell.com has PS3s and 360s 15% off until January 31. That works out to about $340 plus tax for the 80GB PS3. It's not quite as good as the Sony Style CC deal, but it's not bad. The 360 Arcade is on sale for around $170.
