Eh... I don't buy it. Sony ain't gonna drop the price in a while, they're too money hungry.

I think they will. Sony's been talking for a while now that they were looking into possibly cutting the price. Plus the Kotaku link has an image of the actual ad. I think it's real likely $499 is the new price.

When it's 400 bucks, i'd buy it in a heartbeat. 500 bucks is still too much for me.

I'm still not buying it until the bugs are worked out. Give it about another year.

I haven't heard about problems with the PS3 like I have the 360. I'd like to get a PS3, but it's still priced too high.
