Don't forget if you buy a PS3 you can get 5 free Blu-ray movies by going to Blu-ray Savings U.S.A. Edition

from what I hear this price cut is the real deal, it is a permenant price cut. according to a post it starts july 12th, and is retail wide.

Don't think it's going to happen, Sony is denying that a price cut is coming.

Great offer given the performance, reliability, new games and BD player, add five free BDs...and $100 (if true) discount.

wait a few months... Black Friday isn't too far away...

If CC is doing the $100 off, i would highly doubt they do it unless Sony is giving its blessing, and of course they are going to deny a price cut now, otherwise they would sell ZERO units for the next 10+ days until the price cut goes into effect.

Hey, I have two PS3s...where are my five free BDs? According to the offer, they will accept a copy of the receipt. I supposed someone could always do a purchase/return and enclose the UPC from their current PS3 box.

Will the PS3 play PS2 games and, similarly, will it play standard DVDs? Do they look OK?

 

[tawhite]

Yes, yes and yes.

 

[CTownPride]

Wow. That was quick. Thanks.

 

[tawhite]

No problem. There may be limitations on which PS2 games that are compatible. Someone with PS 2 games can chime in.

DVDs look quite good and will upconvert but only with HDMI connection.

interesting... Sony says no price drop but CC has $100 off. And it's scheduled RIGHT AFTER E3. I wonder what Sony is going to announce.

Seems like it's going to be industry wide. Sony, as well as MS and Nintendo, have stipulations with all of its vendors regarding console pricing. You would see BB, Wal-mart, etc.. have a sh*t fit if only CC was getting the price break.

so should i run out buy one from best buy then when the circuit city ad come and for 100 less bring back my recipt so they do a price adjustment to the 499.99+10% of the difference? Also doesnt best buy have a deal if you open a credit card you get an additonal 10% off your purchase? This could work out to a real sweet deal could get a ps3 for close to 400+tax and get the 5 free movies

Unless Circuit City is willing to take the loss on the consoles to drive business.

 

[BigTimMN]

maybe on Black Friday would they want to take a loss like that... but not on a regular week... what extra business would they drive by selling the systems for a loss?

Blu-rays. They can advertise heavily on the 5 free blu-rays, and make up the loss on the reimbursements from the blu-rays, which will probably be sold at full price.

Blu-ray offer is a mail-in offer, send in your reciept and get your 5 movies from a list of about 20.
