Just got a PS3 for $200 (With a discount of course)

At first, I'd never thought we would ever get a PS3, considering how much the system costs and the prices of the games. However, just last night, my older brother came over with my sister in-law. He set down a target bag and went to his car to grab his other bags. I payed no attention to the target bag whatsoever, because I thought it was just some speakers or something since my brother likes to buy speakers for his car.

While in the middle of a match in Smash Bros. Melee againts my little brother, my sister in-law just blurted out that my older brother bought a PS3 for $200. I turned around and looked in the target bag and to my surprise, a 40GB PS3 was in it! I asked them how they got it for $200 because I heard from my friend (My sister in-law's cousin) that they also got one for $200 recently. She told me that my brother got it with a discount at the same place my friend got theirs. It seems they know a person who works over at Target so that's how they got their PS3's for only $200.

Anyone else fortunate enough have something like this happen? I kind of wished my older brother got the 60GB model since I heard the 40GB had it's PS2 backwards compatibility completely removed.

Yes, but it's the fact that my PS2 might die any time soon. And the stores close to us are out of stock :\ .
 
I got a friend who got is 60gb for 1£  (2$) because of an error xD.... he was supposed to have this amount as a discount, instead, the seller did a mistake, and he got it for ¨1£... xD
That's Not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I don't know, Circut City around where I live offers 40gb PS3's for $400 with Spider-man 3 blue-ray and 5 bonus blue-ray movies free with purchase, now if this $200 PS3 also came with a game now that would be impressive. 

[offtopic]How can your PS2 almost be dead, I have an old model from when they came out and it's in perfect condition, in fact I play games like KHII and FFXII and it doesn't overheat, you must really push your's to the limit if it's about to die![/offtopic]
 
wow thats cheap ..
here in belgium the normall price for a ps3 is
600€ for the 60Gb
400€ for the 40Gb

(both with 2 games and a controller)
 
Wow, isn't a Euro around 1.64 american dollars, that means it's almost $1000 for americans, not to be rude but you know where I'm not going to be goin on a shopping spree anytime soon.

If you want a cheap PS3 you could always look for used ones at like EBGames or Ebay, they're bound to be cheaper than $400 but not as cheap as $200
