really? in the uk wii has the most expensive games, as they never drop in price. The pc is cheapest, but the ps3 and 360 come out at about 20-30 compared to the wii's 25-39.

I plan on getting a PS3 in a few weeks whether the price drops or not, so I just voted the second option. But if the price does drop, that will allow me to buy a few extra things. I want to get a extra controller and upgrade the HDD, so that would happen faster with a price drop.

I already own a 60GB PS3, so my answer would be "No!". Even if it dropped to $299, the deal I got for my 60GB PS3 on Ebay was still better by a mile.

I doubt the price will drop to $299. It'll drop to $349 at the lowest. If it dropped any lower then that Sony would still be losing money and they don't want that obviously.

In this economy I won't spend more than $30. for a game and I won't be buying any console over a $100. Luckily I already own a 360 elite. I voted undecided in case the PS3 drops to $200. AND the economy turns around.

That is why you dont buy games in your own country haha. I live in Denmark and the stores also takes around 70 euros for a single games, however in the UK I can buy games for 40 euros including delivery o_0

The UK is VERY cheap these days anyway. Compared to the Euro countries that is. 1 euro = 0.9BP...new games come at about 40 pounds(?) tops last time I checked. New games are 60-70 euros where I live. I believe the governement removed or lowered the taxes on everything in the UK right?

Pretty much anywhere but the rip-off merchants known as game/Gamestation. Check the supermarkets etc, they do some great deals. I got SF4 for £24.99 at tesco on release day.

and online shops, shopping at game stores is just a way of being ripped off.

checked. New games are 60-70 euros where I live. I believe the governement removed or lowered the taxes on everything in the UK right? killerfist

yeah by 2.5%, which is pretty pointless, its the supermarkets competing thats driving prices down, it happened with petrol the government don't really have a say.

Over here in Malta games for both 360 & PS3cost practically the same (new games sell for around Eur65 - Eur70), lately been buying from UK sites since i get them for around Eur30 - Eur35 (incl shipping).. then sometimes you get special offers like i got in January on PGR4 for only Eur12 :)

Yeah, I should really do that too, it's freaking gaming paradise in the UK now...:P Compared to our prices anyway. I saw a deal last week on the website of Comet (some electronics store?) for a 360 Elite bundled with Re5 and an extra controller. 230 pounds! The Elite is 299euros where I live....and that's just the console..:? Here it is

The stores should really do that here too...The prices for games have been locked at 60-70 euros for years. (pretty much since the euro arrived in 2002).

This. Bundles are more important than people think. Seriously, I paid $300 for my 60G 360 Pro...and it came bundled with GeoW1 and a year's Gold sub (which was supposed to be another game, but it was out of stock so I bargained for the Gold card). Just the bundled items were worth over $100, and I was actually playing a quality game for the entry fee. At the time, the PS3 was $400 with...nothing. North America needs bundle love.
