If you’re still holding out to buy a PS3, Wal-Mart has a good offer to get you into the door.
Starting at 8 a.m., Saturday, November 8, 2008, Wal-Mart will be selling the 80GB PS3 for $399 with a $100 gift card as an added bonus. Wal-Mart can’t sell every PS3 at this price but it will have a minimum of 4 units per store. If you’re in an area that has been consumed by multiple Wal-Mart stores you’re chances will be slightly better.
This 80GB model is part of the generation that doesn’t include backwards compatibility with PS2 games or flash card readers. You could use that gift card to buy a good third-party attachment that could give you flash card readers and extra USB ports if that helps any.
This is also a great time to buy some amazing games including Fallout 3, Resistance 2 or LittleBigPlanet to name a few. Or you could bone up on some of the classics through the PS3 Greatest Hits collection. That gift card card could purchase 3 of those titles. Either way you have to get up super early to come away with this hot commodity.
Do you know if they are going to do this sometime soon again? I missed this deal!
