Re: Considering getting a Playstation 3
What PS3 version do you want? what is your budget? I have the 40GB version and it is fine. I got the PS3 from eBay i paid $440 for it, it came with 8 games, bunch of EA Sports Games, i am not a gamer but i bought it for the Blue Ray..
If you have patience you can find similar good deals like mine on eBay. but for new ones, i buy them from amazon.com and the only new version i know of is the 80GB one and i am not sure if the prices will drop like you are afraid of..again that's why you need to buy it from Amazon since they have the 30 day thing where they can refund you the money if the price drops. |

Bronx, NY | I'd be fine with the 40gb version. I know it's 400 bucks. What about the dualshock control. Is that coming with the PS3 now? |

Sugar Land, TX | Nope, the dualshock would be extra. When i got mine, it included 3 wireless controllers, 8 games, and oh did i mention, he also included a PS2 slim?  |

| Sure is alot "considering a ps3" threads lately.
There is no evidence/rumor/news from Sony about a price drop anytime soon for the ps3.
If you don't care about b/c to play ps2 games on the ps3, i myself would get the 40gig, the 40gig doesn't come with a dualshock3 controller however, if you really want that, you can pick one up at walmart for $49.
The 80gig metal gear solid 4 bundled is coming out june 12? not really sure on the exact date..that deal comes with the game,80gig,dualshock3 controller. For $499
It would be cheaper for you to get the 40gig then buy the controller at walmart, you'll get 2 controllers to then.
Hope this helps.

| However, if you want MGS4 and a dualshock controller getting the 80GB would end up being the better deal. Dualshock at $50 and MGS4 at $60 makes that total out to $10 over the price of an 80GB PS3. Add to that the additional USB ports, larger HD and backwards compatibility and it should be a no-brainer. |

clubs: | If you want backwards compatibility, wait for the MGS bundle.
If you dont care, go buy a 40 gb now.
If you wan the dialshock, add it on.
