Lest we not speak of how much I had to pay (or my mum did, rather) for my copy of Virtua Racing for my Genesis.
Lets just say by todays prices, we're talking Guitar Hero w/ Guitar dollars. For a single game. #blackfriday

...and I'm assuming that was *on sale*. #blackfriday

Sega Master System

Even Super Street Fighter 2 for the megadrive (genesis) was about £55. #blackfriday

I'm Dutch, we don't have black fridays, well... some "establishments" have them, but they're not related to retail.
Well... sorta-but-not-really.. it's complicated.. complicated and obscene. #blackfriday

Dragon Age Origins and Forza are both 'why the fuck haven't you bought me yet at this price' games for 39.99. Especially since they both have DLC in the case that you'd have to pay for buying it used.
Thats craziness. #blackfriday

I loathe the thought of stepping into a KMart, but I might just have to. $40 is way too good of a price to pass up on a new copy. #blackfriday

"Pure, Lego Batman and Halo ODST for $299"
THIS, however, is worth noting. That ODST throw in IS new. At least it provides incentive to not just buy the 199 dollar arcade -100 buck gift certificate + 140 dollar 120gb hard drive thingy.
Though the deal I nabbed for my second 360, 329 for Lego Indy, Kung Fu Panda, Wireless Adapter, Halo 3 (blergh!) and Elite was pretty sweet about a month ago. Have no intention of using the adapter, but its an easy way to not spend 99 bucks and I can give it to my Dad as part of a christmas gift.
Yasee, he's got a wireless network in his middle of nowhere house and satellite internet, so the option of online play isn't really there, but downloading Arcade games would be nice. Duke Nukem 3D being one of his favourite games of all time. Yes, my 55 year old father likes yelling eat shit and die at the tv while giving money to strippers.
But I digress.
Left 4 Dead 2 is 39.99? Seems like you Americans are finally catching the same Walmart break we Canadians have been lately. Borderlands and Batman both launched at 39.99 in Canuck monies.
EDIT: Also, I realize this is Kmart. A store of such a name which I don't think I've ever seen up here.

Lets be nice to Zellers. Found a 5 dollar sealed copy of FFT for PSX no longer than five years ago in the throwaway bargain bin.
...okay, Zellers is pretty horrible. Unless its in a high profile area, every Z I've been to has been dirty, and seriously lacking any sort of inventory. #blackfriday

Still some of these deals are nice, but I don't know if I have a Kmart in driving distance to me. Also, I haven't seen these linked this year...
Go to [www.black-friday.net] and [bfads.net] for all of your lovely BF adscans. :P #blackfriday

Seriously Sony you havent had a significant price drop for your system but thats only part of the problem. There has to be more games released for the system to convince people to invest in it. GOW3 Uncharted 2 and GT are amazing but they still arent enough. As my friend, who is an avid PS3 fan, says repeatedly: "Where the fuck are the games?!"
08/18/09
And let me add that, following the links, there is no "new price" anywhere. The PS3s are the same price they've been, including the 40GB and 80GB models for the same price of $399. Hrm, wonder which one I would get, if I were in the market for a $399 PS3?

but will this really stop the bitching about the price?

It would be nice if Sony didn't try to be all Mysterious all the time though.

Anyone who really think the PS3 is a great console, already bought one.

That's my point: It will always be the 2nd or 3rd option. Anyone who considered it as their first option, already have bought it. I know that some of us want to have both consoles (or all consoles, if you like the Wii), but the majority of the gamers will only have one console of choice. And if they really wanted a PS3, I'm sure they could wait and save $100 more to get it (instead of getting a 360).
That's why I don't think we will see a huge up in PS3 sales with the low price. Sure there will be an increase, but not as big as everyone is thinking.
