Default 60GB PS3 for under $486

You have to get it from Hong Kong though and don't worry PS3 games are region-free. Only BD video, PS1 & PS2 games are still region-locked.

PLAYSTATION®3 HDD 60GB
LAUNCHES ON NOVEMBER 17, 2006 IN HONG KONG
Recommended Retail Price of HK$3,780 or $485.50

PLAYSTATION®3 HDD 20GB
Will Become Available in Hong Kong in December 2006
Recommended Retail Price of HK$3,180 or $408.50

I heard they were only going to release 150,000 PS3s in Tokyo somewhere, I thought yeah right :-/ :wanker: :roflmao:

Prices are not that bad actually, better off going for the 60GB I think 8)

2nd batch... always buy the 2nd batch...

Better built unit. Introductory games are already on sale, and the great games are out.

Always buy the 2nd batch.

It's more like buy after the first price cut. By then you get more top rated games, most of the hardware kinks have been worked out already and you enjoy the savings. I remember getting my PS2 & GCN shortly after the May 2002 price cuts and it was well worth the wait.

JP PS3s are going for $1000 in the Philippines with 2 games.

Thats ludacris. I dont know what peoples fascination for being the first to have stuff is anyway. Im still waiting on getting a Xbox 360 in hopes the price will come down a little more.

Yea, the PS3 is going for around 1500 dollars US on eBay right now. I imagine the day after it comes out the people that promiced junior they would get one will pay a pretty penny on eBay to get one

Bragging rights for one thing. Forums are filled with pictures from early adopters.

Someone from HK told me the pre-orders area already sold out in HK & Everyone else is doing a force bundle of games + controllers. Resistance is the only game I fancy at the moment any hows.
