Sony Drops Prices on 80GiG $499, 40GiG $399
Console Warz, HandHeld Warz, Cell Phone Warz, and Who has the Bigger TV Warz; I just can’t keep up anymore. Still it’s good to hear that the producers of these things that we covet, love and become insatiable war mongers over, take heed to our waring cries of agony. Or, perhaps it’s just how powerful the holiday seasons can be. Add that to the dropping prices in Sony’s BluRay players and you have to wonder … “perhaps they do listen to their consumers.” Check it out here on the Sony Official Blog Site for the price drop info and some other details.
Here’s a comparison chart for the War Parties as they stand. Ahh but the eternal question, are the wittle fishies biting the bait? Amazon.com has reported a 863% sales hike on the 80 Gigabyte PS3 compared to any other console [this number is as of 10/19/2007 11:09 AM]. Well here’s hoping they stocked up on the unit. Everyone agrees that the unit should have been cheaper from day one but the 40Gig model is reasonable I guess for those us that still can’t go the 80GIG route. War is tough. If you can’t buy either then I guess you’re S.O.L for now.
But, but I thought people who wanted the best would go and pay for the system??? Isn’t that what Sony said in the beginning? Face it Sony, your getting your ass handed to you on both fronts! As far as listening to customers, it’s more like..”oh sh!t, if we don’t drop our price for the holidays, no one will care about us anymore!”.

Said the mouse to the cat “those are some fancy numbers you got there sir.” :p I was hoping you weren’t camping but I guess you are. Oh well, to each his own. But damn, if those numbers are real, you’d have to combine PS2,3, and portable to match and beat the others .. guess Sony isn’t making money right?
