    I was just wondering if it is worth buying a ps3 now or waiting for a potential price drop?

    I think if there was going to be a price drop this fall, we would have heard about it by now. I wouldn't expect a price drop until next summer at the earliest at this point.

    If you don't plan to build a PC, sure, get it.

    Maybe wait for blackfriday? I'm not sure how these american things go down, but that's probably a good idea?

    Or just fucking buy one already!

    A price drop may come around the holidays...

    But I'd just wait for the next console at this point, unless you've got nothing currently to play on.

    I'd say wait. Some stores might have price drops during the holiday season, not to mention that you could get one during Black Friday (either online or at a brick and mortar store).

    If you've already got a PC or 360, then wait until next gen.

    If you've got neither then go for a PC. If you really don't want to go for a PC for whatever reason, then go ahead and get a PS3.

    I would wait until Black Friday to pick one up. Maybe by then a price drop will already have happened, or there will be some kind of bundle that would be worth the wait.
