Prophecy does have a point, the OP was suppose to post a news thread but turns it into flamebait thread with that useless attacking Sony statement! So tell me what so wow about that? Please don't tell me you're not comfortable with ps3 outselling xbox360 too like the OP!   Onto topic : Didn't PS3 had a similar deals and turns out not much of a boost? If true then this new deal would end up similar to PS3 in term of sales! EDIT: *looks at post above* *sigh* He's worst than I thought! I guess he lives up to his name! (-_-) How is it a worthless attacking Sony statement? Such pro-PS3 things are posted practically every post around here and nobody minds. And it's not attacking Sony, just my views. I dont think Sony will price drop and they're losing a lot of money. And the Arcade will definitely be $99 before the PS3 is.   This is my supposed "troll":   Is this a harbinger of things to come? Will a future permanent $99 Xbox 360 Arcade fly off the shelves for Microsoft? I believe so. Microsoft did not price cut this year (not really) so you better believe they will lop at least $50 off next year. Meanwhile with Sony reporting large losses in the gaming division I dont expect them to cut price in 2010. LOL some troll when every post on the front page is about how PS3 will outsell 360 forever and nobody calls that trolling, thats considered normal. Well when I see those thread they backup with reasons, while on the other hand there's threads that don't have any reasons backing up their claims, that when they're called trolls. And yeah Sony aren't going to price cut when they're already had just recently, so everyone knows Sony aren't going to do it again anytime soon! Sp really it was not necessary to put that Sony statement in your thread. @ letdance, thanks for the answer, I guess this new deal won't have much effect!

I had reasons clearly explained, you are being thick and ignoring them. Please stop talking about this in this thread. I undrstand you love the PS3, but this is not the thread to talk about that And stop trolling, your last sentence was a troll.

 

The deal will have a lot of effect. I think 360 may outsell PS3 in NPD Nov. There could also be black friday deals on both consoles though. So far I'm not seeing any great PS3 deals though but that doesnt mean a 299 with $100 gift card PS3 deal may not happen on BF.

10k more 360's than usual for the week , that's my prediction, PS3 still outsell it world wide by 80k.

Yup, once in November and once in June. Both in '08. I can't find much info on the November one but the June one was on any Blu-ray player. One reason why this deal is shitty (for me anyway) is that you can't get 100 dollars off the Ps3. Its a walmart gift card. So basically you need to buy shit from walmart who I hate... they don't have that good of a game selection either since they have limited space. So you spend 200 on the 360... then use the gift card for the HDD and spend 40 more dollars. So basically buy an Elite for 240.

The amazon deal part 1 already sold out in 3 minutes according to the thread at CAG

I love all the people who aren't the OP trying to determine what the thread is about. My fovorite: "the OP was suppose to post a news thread..." Really? Someone please let me know when it is my turn to write a news thread so I don't dissapoint.

OT: The sale could be huge. I doubt the Arcade will be permanently cut to $100 this year, but $150 is very likely.

2009 PS3 :         Slow year until the fall price cut. Will it be too late ?

2009 Xbox360 : This bad thing will not die so easly (outside by RRoD)

2009 Wii :          Could it have the sales AND the line-up ? I dont think so ...

@libellule

how many will the 360 sell in the US the week ending including this promo then? just so we know...

Some people dont need the hard drive, not everybody is a hardcore gamer who downloads lots of stuff.

 

Also you can get the 60GB HDD for $89, (so basically a pro for ~200) or you can get a used 20Gb at gamestop or ebay for $20-$50. I had only a 20GB for the first 3.5 years I owned a 360 and it's honestly fine for most stuff. I really only wanted a bigger one when MS came out with optional installs.

 

Well he has a point but not all stores got 30. I think around 15ish would be a better average.

Amazon had the deal for a whopping 3 minutes, so they prolly only had a few thousand to sell.

360 should beat PS3 by 60+k that week but I dont think its enough to beat PS3 World Wide but come very close.

It's just that simple.

hmm, The arcade(plain, no bundles) didnt even make it to the top 100 sellers on Amazon video games.
