I was told that retailers have a contract with Sony and according to the
contract they are not allowed to sell a brand new unit any less than the "going
rate" which right now is $180.  My parents bought an X-box last year and went
through a similar hunt trying to find the best price.  The only difference they
found was in the bundling...such as at Wal-mart you got 2 controllers vs. one
and at Best Buy you got an extra game...but it was all the same price,
everywhere.  I guess since these items sell anyway the stores are willing to go
along with the companies demanding they charge the retail price rather than
lose the ability to sell the product at all.  Good luck!! =)
