Price drops are definitely a good thing. Now all we need are the AAA games, and all will be good.
Yeah! They are coming now! Man... Cod4 is goig' to be awesome! And Assassins Creed! Man, I'm gonna cry if these are as good as they seem!
nice the more PS3 sold the better
And so it begins, the time is now, jump on the bandwagon and bring on the holiday season
Things just keep getting better and better for Sony. Let's hope these drop in prices does not get them into financial trouble.Nevertheless they know how to play their game.
I can only see things getting better for Sony in the upcoming year with all the great games like uncharted ratchet, gta, haze mgs4, killzone, cod4, assassins creed, orange box, uts, littlebigplanet........
Wow. From 105 to 18. That's a huge increase!
hasta la vista x360 !!
Once Christmas time comes around and people see all the great stuff like R&C Future, Eye of Judgment, and Uncharted, the PS3 will be sold out this winter
With the price cuts, PS3 wil definitely be a top contender of taking the holiday season by storm, literally. :)
makes me cry to think how cheap that thing is in states.... here its 854dollars and thats considered quite cheap :o
Let the holiday season begin!!!
Sony is defintely getting that 11 mill. mark before March they wanted!! I never doubted it ;)
500 or 400 dollar ps3 and metal gear solid 4. yea, sony gonna be number 2 in no time
AWWWW Suga Honey Ice Tea.....Its gonna be a revolution.....*waiting patiently to shut nasayers down*....

Hey Xbots, enjoy your last year at being number one (even though i dont sgree). PS3 is taking over. From now till the next console. Peace
Nice I cannot wait to see the sales closer to Christmas plus the games that are coming out in the next months
as of 7:54pm eastern time, the 80gb is sitting at number 7. that is a HUGE increase in sales. GO GO GO !!!!
483%...
OH. MY. GOD!!!
The price drop isnt the only reason people are snapping up the 80gb. it's also because people are scared of being forced to get the 40gb and loose all backwards compatibility. People dont want to have to deal with two systems when they can use ONE. The price drop helps them make the decision quicker to run out and get the 60gb but since there are so few on the market right now the 80gb becomes the next thing they choose since they both cost the same if you can find them.
perfect time to buy a ps3, what else arer you waiting for, the big AAA games are here next month. Also you have a very cheap ps3 on the market.
I think everyone saw this coming. Good news anyway.
Good news. The major titles launching in November will probably double this number.
Quote from the bottom of the best seller list on Amazon.com: "these lists, updated hourly, contain best selling, non-accessory items." So the controllers that are on the list are not accessories then?
rather then ms bolting the door shut, ms left it slightly adjar waiting for sony to kick it wide open........ XBOX REALITY IS HERE
