Not at all. I got mine last year with an extended 2-year warranty and I have no regrets. Price cuts are inevitable. It's the wait which you have to bear.

Letsbuy's offer for 160GB console = Rs. 15,799/-

Sony PS3 160GB (Black)

Even lesser, if you have any discount coupons.

Nope that price is ok. Previously it was Rs 22990. The 320gb move bundle is cheaper than
Xbox 360 250gb elite model which is retailing for Rs 21990 which makes it an attractive bundle since it comes bundled with the "move" motion controller.

Nice. I hope more PS3 users show up.

Also no wait is worth a price drop: Got a PS3 250GB for 18.5k last year. Unless it costs 2k now, it wont bother any old user.

Cant say the same for ones bought 2months prior to this date though. My condolences.

letsbuy is a good site. Whats wrong with them?
They respond promptly to any query.
Min 2 - max 5 hours.

My Razer Imperator and SS mat is from letsbuy. Plus the coupon codes make it a sweet deal.

P.S. Letsbuy doesn't manufacture the PS3 BTW. What could they possibly do to your possible purchase?

I am pretty sure that I read somewhere that PS3 games will be soon manufactured in India and so we will get them real cheap. Can anyone find the source of this news?

They wont be real cheap, but significantly cheaper.

A 2499 game may cost between 1800-2000 after the local production begins.

The recent interview in chip says it will start soon.

Ok that means it would be wiser to upgrade my pc then. Morover PS4 is not too far. It will probably be back compatible and from reports it is apperant that they will try to keep the next console affordable by using cheaper components.

I read a interview of Sony in a Mag that they will start making game in India ASAP. Although not sure how long is their ASAP.

@sarath
thanks for info about letsbuy as making online purchase is always advisable on trusted sites and if you have made purchase from there then I trust them.
