Wii’s are still hard to find. PS3’s on the other hand… If this is true and happening across the board, I bought mine at the right time then 😃 I’ll still be able to get my $100 back:headbang: Apparently some controversy over this: > **[Both Sides of the PS3 Price Cut Rumor - Slashdot](https://games.slashdot.org/story/07/07/06/1453212/both-sides-of-the-ps3-price-cut-rumor)** > > So here's the deal: Kotaku has a flier for an upcoming Circuit City deal on the PlayStation 3, putting the price at $499. There's some confusion about whether this is just a sale from Circuit City, or an actual price drop from Sony. Next Generation... Some sources saying there is no price cut coming up and Circuit City is running an internal sale. Others saying there is a price drop across the board. The story says the 12th would be the actual day of the price drop if happening. ---

I think they may drop the price to $499 officially before christmas, but this seems like it’s jusy an internal cc sale. ---

[/quote] If its a mail in rebate, than its specific to CC, much like FYE’s sale. However, if there’s nothing mentioned about a rebate, no retailer would sell a system at $100 below the MSRP… the profit margin on most game systems is less than %10 (FYE rebate of $50 makes sense). To loose that much on systems is just insane. ---

e3 is this week. That’s where the announcement is supposed to be made about the price drop. Word has it that Xbox may drop like $50 or so as well. Should be some good game announcements as well. We’ll see. ---
