PS3 40gb price drop this weekend

I guess Christ­mas is com­ing too ear­lier for this year. I think I should thanks to Santa for lis­ten to my wish, lol.

Accord­ing to Block­buster store, the price for PS3 40GB mod­els will drop to $359.99 yeah, the price isn’t drop pretty much. But, it’s bet­ter than no price cut.

How­ever, this price drop order didn’t come from Sony directly. It seem Block­buster want to clear the stock that badly.

Accord­ing to a Block­busters’ memo leaked to us today Sony is per­ma­nently drop­ping the price of the dis­con­tin­ued 40GB model of the Playsta­tion 3 start­ing Sunday.

The price drop, which was ver­i­fied by calls to a num­ber of Block­buster stores, will drop the 40GB model to $360 and an PS3 40GB bun­dle with an HDMI cable, Spi­der­man the movie and Trans­form­ers the game to $400. Stores that have trade-ins of the PS3 40GB will be sell­ing it for $360 as well.

While the $40 or so price drop isn’t much, maybe it sig­nals other drops in line for the other ver­sions of the con­sole in the near future. Or per­haps Sony is clear­ing stock to make room for a Tokyo Game Show announced new SKU for the Playsta­tion 3.
