That's better than the old price to be sure, but still kind of high for my budget right now.

That's actually rather cheap when compared to the Australian price. I remember when I bought my 120GB PS3 around mid-year, last year it cost me $499.95 AUD. (Price sticker is still on the box :lol:)

The 160GB PS3 in however Australia had it's price dropped from $500 to $348 recently.

I won't because I've already bought one recently. Though the Brazilian price is out of tune with the American. The official price is around US$900 nowadays, but with care you can find some at a bit more than US$600.

If only I could buy consoles for US$250...

Way high for my budget. Plus, I'm still happy enough with my Wii and PS2.
