Amazon Running PS3-Only Gold Box on Aug. 27

Bargain hunters are very friendly with Amazon.com, but bargain-hunting gamers will get an extra special treat this week, as Amazon plans to run a PS3-exclusive Gold Box all day on Wednesday, August 27.

Through this special one-day-only promotion, which starts at midnight Tuesday (technically Wednesday morning), every single discounted item in the Amazon Gold Box will be related to the PlayStation 3. Consoles, games, peripherals…you name it, it’s bound to have a deal associated with it.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to get a PS3 or a bunch of PS3 games on the cheap, this is your best chance to get games at a great discount.

The PS3-only Gold Box announcement comes just as rumors are kicking into high gear about an imminent Xbox 360 price drop.
