Just an update to the thread.
I just put in an order at gamestop.com for a PS3 bundle deal.
http://www.gamestop.com/gs/ps3/ps3_signup.asp
right around $1200 shipped for thr 60gig, 6 games, extra Sixaxis controller, strategy guide for Resistance, 1 year EB/GS warranty, and a 12 months sub. to Game Informer magazine.
Expected ship date is 01/05/07
I can wait for it, I don't need it for the holidays and have no family to worry about purchasing for. A lot of people are banging on the price, but they are cutting no deals so full retail on everything, and outside of NBA 07 I planned on buying all those games when I got my hands on a system anyway so I am not too disappointed, it is just a large chunk of change to drop at one time if you don't have it and I understand that is what is turning off many people to such a bundle deal.
