Ah, Target. The home of so many broken street dates. Just days after letting the Xbox 360 Arcade slip out of its doors early, the retailer is apparently proving that the 40GB PlayStation 3 is indeed coming to America -- and for $399.99, no less. Reportedly, the system is all set to "officially" be released here on October 28th, and while we've no way of confirming, we're hearing that it may be bundled with the upcoming Spider-Man 3 flick, too. Anyways, we'll let the photos take it from here -- click on through for more.

"They have spider-man 3 coming out on the Blue Ray and the Simpsons movie."

First its Blu-ray. Second, it's not theirs. Anyone can go out and buy those movies on regular dvd or blu-ray and watch them in a dvd player/blu-ray dvd player. Your talking like they are PS 3 Exclusives.

No thanks as I don't want a gimped PS3 !

They need to just lower the price of the real one and bring out some great games !

Or Give me the 600.00 one with like 4 to 5 free games with the purchase but no way am I buying this gimped one.

They will probably reintroduce the PS2 hardware for BC when PS2 sales start slowing down and they can divert resources to the nextgen machine. So far, the PS2 cash cow shows no signs of stopping this year and I honestly think it caught Sony with their pants down on a longterm PS3 strategy.

I'm picking one up now. I paid 399 for the 360 and I will pay the same for the PS3. BTW, is UT3 coming out this year for PS3? I thought they pushed it back.

UT3 for ps3 has been delayed till 08

Show me where in this paragraph that epic confirms that UT3 for the PS3 is coming out in 2008.

"UPDATE: Mark Rein writes on the official Epic Games forums that the delay is not set in stone and that Midway was simply warning investors about the possibility of a delay, adding that "our goal is still to get the PS3 version of UT3 in stores before the end of 2007." He later writes "there is a chance it will come out in December." The silver lining is that the PS3 version will now feature all of the maps present in the PC version." -Kotaku via Epic's Games forums

this will be good for the ps3, altho the holidays are when most sales are made, so it's hard to judge how successful this will be.

either way, every indicator points to them coming in last again this holiday....

great thisll proably mean ms will drop its price by 50 bucks as assumed....which would be pretty funny. It's also funny that we went from the highest price ever for a console last year to almost last gen prices in one year.

Now? way to be informed sir. When the PS3 launched it was bundled with a BR movie for some people. I also remember the BR version of Click being bundled in with the PS3.

This isn't some new concept.

Hmm... Or, you could get the 360 with 80G more, along with a MUCH larger library of games, and far better online service for 50 bucks more! Too little, too late, I think...

Oh, and I forgot to add that Spiderman 3 is a terrible choice to use as a selling point. The movie was terrible.

That has nothing to do with the PS3. Spiderman 3 really was terrible! They completely missed the mark on Venom, and while Topher Grace is a good actor, he simply didnt do Eddie Brock the way he needed to be done. Emo Spiderman was terrible, as well. I had high hopes for this movie to be good, and was let down terribly. To me, the only redeeming factor of the movie was Thomas Hayden Church. I thought he did a bang up job as Sandman, but they muffed that one up too, by tying him to Uncle Bens death.

The 360 has dropped from $399 to $349 and created a $449 120gb Elite. The PS3 from $599 60gb/$49920gb to $499 60gb/$399 40gb.

Good games, but not system sellers. Besides, they've tried packing in movies and games in bundles before and it has never worked. $400 is still too much for a platform that has little if any good games to play. I'm not even kidding, why would I pay $400 for a crappy console if I could pay $50 less for a platform that has dozens of great games, or even $150 less for a platform that is at least amusing.
