For those that need to get a PS3

[chasmalgrat3]

I'm one of the many that only own a 360 but have been drooling so much over what I'm seeing from The Show this year that I had to go out and get a PS3 simply for this game. If you are like me and aren't too confident that the PS3 will drop it's price in the next month or two, I found an offer that Sony has for the Playstation card. If you go to sonystyle.com (Sony's website) you can apply for a Playstation credit card and you will get a $100 credit off your first purchase of $299 or more. I purchased the PS3 80GB model for $422 (tax and shipping included) and it will end up only costing $322 (instead of $430 w/tax if I purchased locally). Plus standard shipping is 5 days so as long as you order by tomorrow you should have it in hand for the release of MLBTS 09. Thought I'd pass this along. Can't wait!

PS - this is nothing like those "Free PS3" scams or the cheap "$199 PS3's from Canada" scams.

I got in on this deal when they were giving $150 back

Just got the credit back last week.

they have been selling at DELL for $320 shipped for the past few weeks...

It's a great platform even at the 399 price so I say go for it!

I thought I saw it at Dell for that price, but when I looked today it was $399 again.

if its sonystyle.com you might also be able to go to one of their stores and get the same deal. Sony Style is a Sony boutique store - there's one in the mall attached to my office building.

I finally broke down and got a PS3 yesterday. The Show was calling my name in my sleep like Field of Dreams. Best Buy has a great deal this week where if you buy a PS3 8GB or 160GB you get Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock or Aerosmith and a $50 gift card free. It is while supplies last (aka GHIII supplies, I got the last one in Fargo Monday morning and the promo went on Sunday)

you can find it here online. Still some available....
