Not a chance until prolly Q2 next year, they were going to drop the price if the PS3 was similarly priced to the 360 to stomp on Sony's fingers, but seeing as how the price hike is so high from the get go theres no need from a sales point of view.
I have a friend who works at bungie and at one point he offered me a core for $100 or a premium for $200 so Ill ask him tommorow if he can still get em the premium. if so Ill get the amazon one and sell it, if not Ill get the amazon one and keep it.
DUDE, a premium for only $200?! that's some hookup right there man! if you sell that on ebay, i smell a nice profit . btw, you think you could hook me up with that deal man? hehe, thats to good to pass up.
