    Well...there was this today:

    But I think they sold out, at least online they did (not sure if they have the same deal in-store).

    edit: Probably no price cut for the remainder of 2008. Just good deals like this every so often.

    oh ya, i saw this deal. i will head over to the local store to see if they will honor the online deal. if not, i will go to best buy or something to get one. i can never catch these good deals because i don't check it often enough. just sold a guitar for about $200, so i got 50% money, just need to figure out where to get the other 50%. :D

    Are the $199 XBOX 360's supposed to be in short supply this holiday season?

    360 has no such blu-ray offering.

    PS3 has almost no reliability issues to speak of.

    I have 2 80gbs that are the older models that are backwards compatible.

    Check the classifieds forum for the thread.

    I bought a PS3 recently. Xbox didn't have an external blu-ray, and I pretty much leaned towards the PS3 so I could watch Iron Man on Blu Ray. Game selection has gotten better as well as the playstation store, so I'm satisfied.
