A lot of people picked up PS3s this week due to a perfect storm of a price drop, deals at Circuit City and Amazon, the 5 Blu Ray rebate, and the news that the 80 GB PS3 model will cost more than the 60 GB does right now with no emotion engine. So how big of a factor was them taking out the EE? For me it was the tipping point, but getting it under $450 with the Blu Ray promotion was the biggest factor.
