Thats a great price,but I still wont get one(im not much of a hardcore gamer and my 360 will do fine on its own)

The price drop is nice, but why bundle a movie? I would rather have the one good game that is out there now. Or an extra controller. This is yet another example of not understanding what the customer wants, or understanding, but just not caring. They really think highly of bluray movies to think this is going to be the incentive for someone to buy a PS3. But at least the cost is down. That's a step in the right direction, eh Zippy?

so does this mean that europe misses out on another ps3 price drop?

in the uk ps3 = £425 ($850)

If they do come out, you think the only difference will be the HDD, because if it is I just might have to let my brother know that he will be receiving on in the mail to send over to me..

Spidey 3 is a decent movie. Maybe they figure we'll want it more because the movie had such good box office sales...

40GB? That's it? Not gonna fit many games on that hard drive...
As for the price, at least they are working it down. The thing is that if they get the console down to a low enough price, they may/will be losing money on them but they make up for it with the game sales to the now larger customer base that could afford to get the console because of the drop. I still probably won't get one for awhile though because I would rather get a truck now and put a homemade jet engine in the back :D

Oh Lordy Lordy! Yay lol

It's a smaller HDD, but the firmware still hasn't been hacked, and if it does get hacked I'd still get a bigger HDD anyways. I really like how they use a laptop HDD, it just makes things easier. I do agree with emugamer on the movie bundle thing... What about Motorstorm?

It IS a good price though, at least in my eyes lol

They are not losing as much money as they were during launch.They have took out the emotion chip that cut cost & also the Blue laser Diodes price are down also & cutting back 20gig saves also.I have a 60gig & i can tell you that 40gigs for the PS3 is more than enough.I have only used 18gigs since i got my system at launch.

Cmon lets cut Sony a little slack they have cut there system price 200 dollars in less than a year thats unheard of.What more could you ask from them.

The hdd can be changed so it doens't really mather, probably getting this one since less cuz tge 60 gb here is 700 it's lame i know that's what i get for not being american

yea i agree with Nexgen76..Sony is really tryin hard to get to the costumers yet ppl still complaining? Millions of xbox360 are sold and regardless of the Ring of death complaints, M$ didnt give a dam about any of you cuz they still kno that ppl will get suckered into buying it again neways so they never really fixed it.

@WierdName...are you seriously complaining about it being 40gb? Im sure alot of xbox360 fans didnt mind about their 20gb.

I think this is good news for anybody that wants a PS3.

Yeah, I agree, for those who have had their eyes on one for a while and are determined to get one, a price reduction is very good news. I've thought about getting a PS3. I actually haven't firmly decided which console I want yet. But when comparing a possible M$ bundle of either a game or hardware to a Sony bundle of a bluray movie....Sony is not motivating me. Especially since the M$ console is cheaper, has better games right now and has a larger HDD anyway. Yeah, I'm still going to complain. Because they haven't reached me as a customer. I've entertained buying a PS3....but I want a console for the games, not a movie that I've already seen on the big screen. I'm not hating on Sony. I just know what I want personally, and they haven't come close to offering it yet.

Maybe I'm the minority, but this bundle does nothing for me. Just not impressed. I fart in its general direction. -(=3<3

To bundle a movie with the PS3 is to admit that Blu-Ray is more important to Sony than games.Sony are selling the PS3 as movie player which doesn't sound like good news to a gamer.
Just wait for the games...sometime...next year...maybe...
Trojan Horse indeed!

Well Sony did that with the PSP bundling with a Spider-man UMD movie. I think its more of a Sony tradition.

Dude listen to yourself you upset because of what Sony didn't issue you in a bundle.Don't you think that real peaty & i mean real peaty.The two main issue people like me had with Sony was price & games they are half way there & people still cutting them don't this is so crazy.Some buyers are just big ass whining baby's.

Sony's tradition was truly successful for the UMD format so thats a relief to us all I'm sure.

I wasn't complaining. I was kind of joking because I said it wouldn't fit many games on it.

Also, as a general statement, would the fanboys just stop? Just because someone says something in Sony's defense doesn't make them a fanboy. Ignoring facts and hyping up something more than it is is being a fanboy. Also, jumping on someone by calling them a fanboy just because they said something for something makes me think you are a fanboy of the opposition to whatever they said something for.
