PS3 Price Drop (Japan)

[telecomm]

Hey folks, not much of a console gamer myself, but I just noticed this hitting the news.

Reuters Article (http://today.reuters.com/news/articleinvesting.aspx?view=CN&storyID=2006-09-22T095506Z_01_T229782_RTRIDST_0_TECH-SONY-UPDATE-4-PICTURE.XML&rpc=66&type=qcna)

WOW - we already knew. See the many new ps3 threads today ;) :D

Doesn't matter, the Wii is a whole lot cheaper and I plan on buying that instead.

Well, it matters for a lot of people. ^_^ I really hope NA get a similar price for the core (With HDMI).

This move from Sony seems like an aggressive reaction to all the announcement made for the 360 in Japan. I'm glad they can pull it off.

Oh my, if only I havent bought an xbox 2 days ago, I might consider this. But seeing that prices may be jacked up again during the holiday season, that would mean Ill have to wait til next summer.
