If It Be; PS3!

So if you own a PS3, you're in the minority. I mean, honestly the machine hasn't gotten the greatest press. Once dubbed to be the hottest selling system on Christmas, the thing couldn't get off of the shelves. Why? For a couple of reasons.

1) There are really not a lot of games out there that are worth the $60 price tag.
2) To really fully experience the magic of the system, you'd need an expensive and nice TV (one that not everybody has).
3) Well, the thing is really expensive.

So you see that last reason? Well, it's still true, but not as much as it once was.

Sony announced today that if you still want to dish out $599, well, you'll be buying an 80 GB model of the PS3 as opposed to the 60 GB model. Now, however, the 60 GB model is $499, or $100 less than it was originally.

And remember, a $500 gaming system is also equal to one of the cheapest Blu-Ray players on the market. Give it some thought.
