There is no confirmed data on a price drop. There have been some minor rumors that one could be coming this Fall since production is more efficient. I still think the first price drop will not happen until Fall 2008, giving Sony a chance to recover some of the money they lost. There is no reason for them to panic because regardless of the bad press, their launch was not a failure.
I would not hold my breath for a price drop. As LoneStranger says, the best estimate is sometime before X-mas 2008. The $600 price is very fair when you consider all that you are getting. A comparably equipped Xbox 360 would run you over $800. Also, based on the rumors that we've seen flying around about the 80GB PS3, I would say that it is likely that there will be NO price drop anywhere in the foreseeable future. Rather, Sony will keep upgrading the technology in the PS3 in order to offer the best possible gaming experience that $600 will buy. Kind of like how iPod's are still the same price, they just seem to have more and more capacity as time goes on.
There is never any information on when a videogame console's price with drop. The reason being is that if there was infromation, people would stop buying the console now. I assume there will be a price cut sometime in the next 6 months.

The damn console is only 4 months old!! Are you saying that Sony will cut the price BEFORE the system's 1 year anniversary? That is absolutely crazy. The PS3 is priced fairly when you measure it against the competition. There are lot of potential PS3 owners out there who are just waiting for that price drop. When christmas gets closer and the price drop doesn't come, they will eventually break down and just shell out the money. The potential $100 price drop isn't going to convince many people to wait and hope for another year. Plus, in my opinion, the 80GB rumors seem true. So it is likely that Sony will keep upgrading the machine, rather than drop its price.
i want to get one but 600...come on...thats a lil too muchskatr0830
