I'm buying this. So the day has finally come where you can buy a xbox 360 and a Blu-Ray player for less than the price of a PS3. [ + quote]

*Originally posted by canuckerz:* Is this their standard price for them? Or are they on sale or clearance? Target normally sells them for like 158.00 US. Last time i checked, Meijer was sold out of these players [ + quote]
