Buyers this week snapped up Sony Corp.'s Playstation 3 consoles when retailer Amazon.com began offering used product for under $300 through its warehouse division.
Warehousedeals.com this week began offering used PS3 80GB SKUs at $271.99 on Mon. By early Mon. afternoon the available product had sold out.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Damn that's a pretty good deal. I would've bought one if I knew they were selling them this cheap.
It's obvious that as the price starts to come down people really eat it up.
Having places like Best Buy and Amazon put on great deals every so often could be a reason why Sony isn't committed to dropping the retail prices yet. Let the retailers drop the prices for them, and watch the people gobble it up like it's candy. If more sales were offered by retailers, it could be a very long time before Sony actually drops the price. The system sells fine as is, and Sony probably needs to make as much money back as possible for those early losses.
what are the odds they were the older 80gb ones with bc? Sweet deal to the lucky ones (esp if it has bc).
would have bought one if I had a free $300 laying around and known about the sale.
A price drop could put SONY in the driver's seat, which means that devs would have to develop for the PS3 and then port to the 360, which means that games will be much, much more amazing.
