So today, Nintendo announced price drops on 4 of their games. The games are Super Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Strikers Charged, and Punch-Out!!!. Not to feel left out of the price cut announcements, Sony decided to get involved in the price cutting business, and announced the 160gb Slim PS3 model will now set you back $249.99 (before tax) instead of $299.99 (before tax)
If I didn't already have a PS3, I'd be partially excited over the price drop. For what it's worth, I still think it's one of the best blu-ray player models out there, and the fact you can play games on it, that's still an added incentive to go out and get one.
The news of price drops on games (Nintendo) and hardware (Sony) doesn't really come as a surprise in my opinion, as based on what you've read recently, game sales across the board have been pretty much flat, at least that's what I have read elsewhere. I'm guessing Microsoft will now announce a price cut in the coming weeks, depending on how well the PS3 sells at it's new price point.
