So much for all those saying it's overpriced. It's the same price as the 360...well, a dime more. Personally I think it's worth it.





Err...in case anyone thinks this is serious...methinks even the world's largest retailer screws up once in a while. Though maybe they'll take a pre-order for me at that price? :tardbang:

Sssssh. Don't let the cat out the bag. Maybe if they don't realize it and actually give out pre-order with that price tag then they have to abide by it.

That is cheaper then 360. Damn I would buy one for 299.82

To bad they aren't selling it. That is probably an old list price they had put.

Let's please not even have anyone here entertaining that this might end up the case, and just discuss it as the comical error that it is.

How'd they pull that off!?!? :laugh:

Very weird to see... I don't know why retailers have such a hard time putting in PS3's actual price.

this wouldn't be the first time a site has got info wrong. i'm not calling it a conspiracy, but it does hype us for another disappointment. big bucks can buy a lot these days

The ghosts from the Indian burial ground that Walmart built on probably changed the price.

Then on release day walmart will have the ps3 for 50$ but a fee to get it out of the store that costs 800$.

Wow, Wal-Mart is offering $200.00 of all PS3's. That's 40% off the core model.

Can I get $200.00 off my Wii too?

Wal-Mart to push tech aggressively for holidays

Wal-Mart Stores plans to promote key electronics such as flat-panel TVs, MP3 players, game consoles and laptops as part of an aggressive holiday campaign.

Less than one week after the world's biggest retailer declared an early start to the holiday-shopping season by cutting prices on more than 100 popular toys and games, Wal-Mart said it intends to be the lowest-priced retailer in gift categories such as electronics and jewelry as well.

New video game platforms such as Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii should boost demand, but [Walmart] said the retailer had tempered its expectations because of limited supplies.

Bah, you bet there will be a catch to all that 50% off. Like pay the rest in increments of 12 or 24 with interest or something. Leading to a lot more sales as much as paying customers for years to come. That can also be called aggressive in some way.
