sony just can't keep the price cut a secret.

they're gonna confirm that there is no price drop now, and then make one in christmas, which is smart to do.

TheExecutive6051d ago

Its almost October, they would be smart to get it out now and advertise it with their games this holiday season.

Omegasyde6051d ago

Putting it out now wouldn't be a great idea (in the US at least). Mid November would be the ideal time due to increased spending by consumer at triples. If Sony does it right, and advertises the blu-ray deal ( 5 free movies) alot of parent's will see this as a savings.

Let alone in November "The fight is finished", and hype for halo is gone.

risk6051d ago

or they can spend $15 million on advertising from now till christmas that puts commercials on major stations in the world with the new sku and a price drop, that would get people to buy the ps3 earlier, and would also spread word and mouth advertising when christmas gets near.

drtysouf216051d ago

45 days from Sept 4th to keep it secret from the public so it could take till the middle to end of October before they announce it.

kspraydad6051d ago

is standard...SONY can release the product anytime after FCC approval (and the pics and details MUST be released on FCC when that decision to go early is made)

TheExecutive6051d ago

Well, i think we can agree that it will be out by November. A 399 sku would be good for the PS3.

WAR_MACHINE776051d ago

I think they'll hold until the agreement with the FCC is up. If they are in fact going to bundle it with Spider-man 3, it wouldn't make sense to say anything before oct. 15, since Spider-man doesn't drop in the US until oct. 30.

TheExecutive6051d ago

What if they dropped Spiderman early just in the PS3?

Apparently my spacebar turned into an enter key.... duplicate post, sorry.

Armyless6051d ago

That's not the kind of thing just anyone would know.

kspraydad6051d ago

I'm the geek that 'found' the original FCC docs for the 80GB sku back in March and 'found' this new SKU too...Since I submitted it I figure I should know about the FCC and its 'rules'...its all on their site. I wrote for a short time for a PS blog and therefore looked into this stuff daily.

I'm actually a Financial Advisor in the banking industry.

if they do this the sales of the ps3 will skyrocket

J@D6051d ago

Most probably true.

I get my 60GB version a few months agos and I totally happy with it.

Mu5afir6051d ago (Edited 6051d ago )

A poster at neogaf is reporting that a 40gb SKU with Spiderman at 399 will be announced next week in France. This is going to be great for Europe they need a price cut over there.

Give me bubbles for the news, xD

kspraydad6051d ago

is the one at the FCC right now. The label at the FCC indicates that it is a US/Canada model and is NTSC not PAL. This model is not directly related to the EU.

Mu5afir6051d ago

Yeah, I agree it's not the same model NUMBER. But it is the 40gb, and it is rumored to be releasing in France in the next week. So, the possibility of it hitting the states soon shouldn't be too surprising.

look at his comment

Dude, I am just being real. I've been saying this constantly since a long time already. Props were props need to be given. The PS3 still is overexpensive on 600 Euro's for what it does.

"well I guess if that is true and this is the only exclusive AAA title than the PS3 will be right on par with the 360 since in it's first year Gears was there only AAA title. So i guess i can live with that."

Wrong again. COD2 was rated 90% average reviews, AAA. Gears of War was rated over 90%, thus AAA.

On the other hand: it really doesn't matter to compare first years. You have to compare current situation.

PS3 at this moment has one AAA, non exclusive Bioshock.
360 has multiple AAA's (console exclusive).

And that's what is seen when people buy a console at the moment

now hes talkin about uncharted drakes fortune. although he 4gets rachet and clank time and time again. and bladestar says uncharted is like tombraider but forgets tome raider never had a cover system and gunfights like drakes or hand to hand and tomb raider was MUCH MORE HEAVILY BASED ON EXPLORATION. or the fact drake doesnt fight animals or that he doesnt flip. but still i wonder what got into the mart. unless he's just tryna do this so he can say in the future that he predicts everything right

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv726h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood8h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK5h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake3h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
