the system is pretty cheap.
cheaper then the 360 when it was first out at 379.99 i'd say now is a good time to start buying.
since you get blu-ray and all, sweet gaming console, and sweet high def player

Not sure what that currency is converted to US dollars but i agree. They need to drop the price. This is good news and i hope sony continues by lowering the production cost of the PS3. It would make a win win situation for us all as i dont think the PS3 is "cheap" price wise as of now but then again in my opinion all the next-gen consoles were overpriced at launch except the Wii. Blu-ray players prices dropping fast so PS3 should try to do the same.

well becuase in an ideal world, i would like it to be free :D
im not saying that reduce it to an unreasonable amount like £150 or something, but why would one WANT to spend more on something if it can be reduced?

I already paid top dollar for mine due to my own lack of patience. It is good to see the overall cost going down though. Good move for Sony.
Some assembly required.

The prices will have to come down, nobody can afford to be buying new consoles, or pc's or anything at the moment.
So it's not as if they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, it's because they know people don't have the cash, or else aren't willing to spend it at the moment.

Pyrite you need to go to Best Buy or any other electronic store and see if what you said is true. (even Wal-mart)

Understand what you mean but do you think everyone is out to make a profit or some type of gain is some way. You buy a car off the lot brand new, drive half a mile and try to return it. You have lost money already b/c they will not give you what you just paid for it not to mention it was marked up anyway. Same with cds, dvd, video games. May not cost as much to make but they sell for a lot b/c everyone is trying to get paid or make a gain somehow.
