Sony has been quite adamant about not dropping the price of any PS3 model in response to Microsoft’s recent price cut. It’s up for debate whether or not this is a smart move on Sony’s part but for now we can rest easy that Blockbuster will in fact be implementing a price drop of its own effective this Sunday (September 28, 2008).

According to a leaked memo on Kotaku, the 40GB PS3 will sell for $360 along with a $400 bundle that includes an HDMI cable, Spider-Man on Blu-ray, and Transformers: The Game.

This drop in price is probably due to Blockbuster wanting to clean out its inventory of the now discontinued 40GB PS3 to make room for the 160GB model that will be available in November 2008.

If you or anyone you may know is thinking about going for this deal, you should note the all the features the 40GB model does and does not have. This model does not support backwards compatibility with PS2 games or flash card readers. It does, however, have built-in Wi-Fi and two USB ports.

Besides those things you’ll have no problems playing online and you can always pick up a larger hard drive if you need it one day.
