Nope....a look at Best Buy shows the regular PS3 80GB for $300 just as the article mentioned, Video Games & Toys: PlayStation 3: PlayStation 3 80GB Entertainment System | Best Buy Canada Web Store


Looks like the price will be the same for Canada as the US.

Thats a good deal. Aug 26 looks like a good time for folks to pick up a PS3...

So does this still sport Blu-Ray too? I mean a good BD player is like $300. Hell I'd buy a PS3 instead if I was going HD at this price.

Edit: nvrmnd just answered my own question. Wow hard to beat this price. Lookout 360! Natal better be right around the corner.

In that case, I recant my previous statement Crap ... now I have to seriously look into picking up a PS3 :shok:.

I'm gonna grab one. Uncharted 2 and Alan Wake are good enough reasons for me.

 

[Thund3rball]

Yes at this price let's see...

Uncharted 1&2, Killzone 2, God of War 3, Alan Wake, LBP... yup I'd play those!

You guys need to pick up Killzone 2.

Don't forget that the PS3 is still regarded as one of the best Blu Ray players on the market in terms of playback quality.

I'm not a fan of the design though...so much more could have been done.

Oh and don't forget Montrealers: Killzone 2 is on sale for $30 this week in Montreal area Best Buy stores.
