Today's Amazon Gold Box deal is the 80GB PlayStation 3, which normally retails for $399.99. The online retailer has marked the console down by $50, meaning anyone still in the market for Sony's next-gen device can grab it for $349.99. Today is a good day, indeed!

After Sony's E3 press conference there's really no excuse (save for, you know, money) for not picking up the PlayStation. Later this year sees the release of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, MAG, and White Knight Chronicles, with Heavy Rain and God of War III hitting early in 2010. Even if the claims of '09 being the "Year of PlayStation" are a bit of an overstatement, there's no real argument that it's going to be a great year to own the system.
