recently Sony made a 100 dollar price cut on the Playstation 3, much to gamers delight because it was considered by many to be too expensive. i work in a retail store and i've been seeing alot more sold, but i believe alot of it has to do with the fact that at the same time, we started to advertise for an exclusive offer our store has that you can get the PS3, a Blu-Ray Remote, and a mail-order form for 5 free Blu-Ray Movies for the same price as it would cost anywhere else (499).
is it the 100 dollar price cut really that profound, or do you think the deal that our store offers along with is whats bringing people in?

The price cut is big.

Well, the PS3 was a very pricey system. I work at GameStop, and once the price dropped, we did get a few more buyers for it. I believe it's because of all the capability for only 499 that makes consumers want it more so now. That, and knowing how to communicate with your customers well. 60 gig (interchangeable hard drive) with wireless possibilities and Blu-Ray is enough to start to make Microsoft begin to tremble. Besides, with as many returns from Microsoft in comparison to Sony, it's very obvious which would be the better console. (Plus free online-play for PS3 over paying for X-Box Live membership? Come on!)

makes no difference since they are also killing the 60 gb off too
