I know many people have been eying the PS3 since its launch but haven't gone for it, because for all its greatness — it's a Blu-ray player, a gaming console, a media center (and hopefully will come with Netflix support soon) — it carries a hefty price tag (the 160 GB version goes for $500, and the 80 goes for $400).
But that could all change this Summer when a long-awaited price cut will slash $100 off the system, if industry insiders are correct.
Sources say the cut will come mid-August timed with the release of Madden, and I don't think it could come at a better time. Interest is up since Sony's many E3 announcements, plus the obvious statement: it's about time!
Will you buy a PS3 if the price drops by 100 bucks?

I was an Xbox 360 and Wii girl for a long time. Then somehow the hubs talked me into the PS3 as a bluetooth player. Within three weeks we bought a second one so we could do online co-op gaming. I love my PS3. With the price drop I would definitely recommend this nice little multitasker to anyone. Little Big Planet alone makes this a great console.
1My husband wants one of these sooo bad and i always feel bad because we really can't afford it. If they do drop the price I may actually be able to squeeze it into our budget by his birthday YAY!!!
2Already have one. It's a great console. I hope people take the opportunity to buy one when the price drops.
3i've been eying it for while so i might take the plunge!
4No, I most likely won't buy it. None of my friends have it, and I'm not particularly into any of the games on it.
5if ps3 does drop $100, i'll split it with my family 3 way
6I have owned all 3 this-gen systems at one time. I have sold them all too. Now, I am planning on getting a ps3 again. Hopefully the slim cheaper version will be out by the time I can't wait anymore... The ps3 was really awesome. I regret getting rid of it in the first place...
7yes! i've really wanted one and with the price drop i'll def be getting it.
8i definitely will be adding it to the list to pick up before the end of the year. first i want that lilac psp and an xbox 360 because i still haven't picked it up yet. and what is the launch date of the lilac psp? and is lbp still coming to the psp? i want those updates!
9If I have the extra money around I may get one. I'm happy with my xbox 360.
10Pricedrop is welcome, cuz honestly this is what held me back for the most part.
11Very excited about God Of War 3 & Uncharted 2.. these look awesome!
i think for the blu-ray player alone its worth the investment, i would use it as a computer rather than just gaming.
