Lol. I am sure it is. :D I will have more money by september however which is when i plan to get one (so i can get a good few decent adds on, live and games). By that time a price drop will only be one or two months away. I can wait that long.

What games would people recommend however? I have been unimpressed by DOA 4 (admittly did not play long).

I wouldn't bank on it. Word early on was that it was going to be xmas time it dropped. Recent opinion is that it might be spring time.

Thats what everyone was saying... But now opinion is cos it's Xmas and they will sell a lot, they will take the money and drop it shortly after.

It's all speculation though of course.

Indeed. However since it is christmas they will properly want a price drop around that time to make the PS3 seem even more expensive.

They won't need a price drop.

PS3 = £425
Xbox 360 = £280

I can see a clear winner at christmas in the shops.

Well, The article is kinda odd on that site so I would place a lot of faith in it. However $250 is a good price. £179 maybe for the UK.

I think £200 for the UK is quite high for ninty.
