If you've ever shopped at target, you're likely aware that every time you check out they ask if you want to "save 10% on your entire purchase today by signing up for a target credit card". The PS3 price drop had me thinking that the thing was getting dangerously close to affordable, but that $500 figure was still sticking in my craw. Today I suddenly put 2 and 2 together, and gots me a 60GB PS3 for $450 bucks.
Technically, I suppose it's not a new deal, but I was surprised to find out that the discount was valid on consoles, so I figured it might help someone else justify the purchase price to anyone else who has a say in the finances. If you shop a lot at target, it seems like a decent credit card to have anyway (the 10% discount repeats for every 1000 points you accrue, something about target making donations to schools, etc).
Now if they only made worthwhile games for it...
