Nice drop... pretty big one. I'm sure that'll push people who were considering a PS3 to grab one up.

I'd definitely consider it more-so than a couple months ago-- but I have a 360 now so I don't need another console thing.

It's great they acknowledge, finally that sticker price was too much. All I need now, is loot to justify buying one. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as the denial of a global recession, kicking in and all. :lobo:

When I do have loot though, more exclusives to take care of. Price drop will help Sony, especially in the Dev support and hopefully in some decision, when a Supa-Game comes out.

I need to have a mint, of some sort, to stand a chance on early '10 releases, let alone a backlog of Alt-console games. :p

Coming up, Agent from rockstar, Heavy Rain, Quantum, god of war 3 and of course, the upcoming Jak N Daxter game :)

Grab a ps3 folks, there's a lot of neat shit on in the online store.
Namely Crash Commando. Awesome solid sidescrolling action

I see that Xbox followed suit and also performed a $100 price drop. Or at least that's what commercials tell me.

The red flashing lights means an overheating problem. but my ps3 is not even hot to the touch. one time after 24hrs and i just turned it on. and it loaded up the xmb and a few sec it turned of with the beep and red flashing light...

I been asking and they say it will die.. :( btw my model is CECHE12.

Anyways when i get a new one I can use the old one for linux :)
But the funny part i did spend 2days trying to download that patch to M.A.G. it never turned off. only when playing games will it do it.

And I thought if it over heat a message should pop up telling my system is overheating.

Not even excessive heat on the underside? I noticed that is a common yet mildly stealthy overheat spot in lots of shit.
