possible PS3 price drop?

I have been hearing rumors, so I decided to google it, and there are some sources that say YES and some say NO, lol. I Own a xbox 360, love it, but would like to have a PS3 due to the vary of games, and blu-ray. I know they are coming out with a PS3, so possibly thats the price drop?

wait till E3..

i love how these threads keep popping up like we are all sony insiders or something..

*day of purchase of ps3*

store clerk:"Here you here is your ps3, and here is your sony stock, and here is the playstations division's plans for the entire generation enjoy that sexy machine!"

no price drop. give it up...

I love the PS3's attitude on their boards...anyway, I just thought maybe you guys would know something, since you own a PS3, and people tend to know more info about their machines then others. Thanks anyway.

The PS3 Slim is coming out next week for $199 and is bundled with FFXIII and MGS5.

If there is a price drop, I am picking one up immediately. I want a Blu-ray player and can't justify buying a stand-alone player when the PS3 can play games. But if there is going to be a price drop I want to take advantage of it.

I still think there are a ton of PS2 owners who are still sitting on the fence because the price of the PS3 is so high. I can easily predict that with a price cut the PS3 would surpass the XBOX 360 units sold.

Man, a bit of heat here. Well, TC you are right that PS3 owners would at least know quite a bit about the console they own. Unfortunately, there is no official plans for a price drop. And the closest chance of getting an offical plan for a price drop would be at E3 around june 2nd. So right now its all just rumours and hopes.

Ok my theory is that sony wants to break even on their console, they CANNOT do this via a price drop, instead sony is going to be marketing the crap out of the ps3 after e3, you will see that they will have a big focus on the psn, and bring even more secret games to the front.

Hirai aiming to 'quickly' break-even on PlayStation hardware, looking to double PSN sales

"We need to quickly bring our PlayStation business on a break-even level and later to profitability."-hirai

So, he's laid out a set of milestones to accomplish, but how's SCEI going to get there? Hirai said Sony needs "a strategy where buying a [sic] hardware is not the endpoint but instead a starting point that can offer new experiences." This includes, according to him, bringing the PlayStation Network to traditionally non-gaming electronics like televisions and digital cameras -- shades of what Howard Stringer said weeks before. And speaking of PSN, part of the strategy is aimed at boosting digital sales from ¥20 billion ($209 million) last year, to ¥50 billion ($523 million). We guess this means expect a lot more content spread across a lot more devices.

IF google doesn't come up with anything but speculation what makes you think that a ps3 board at gamespot would know!

There has been a rumor of a price drop since the last price drop... Like everyone says every time someone new makes this same thread... wait till E3 or when sony announces a price drop and don't believe the rumors until they actually happen.
