Im just asking cause Its my bro b-day and we were gonna try and get him one if there was a price drop. Does anyone know if this is still gonna happen? if so when does it take affect? Thanks in advance.

First I've heard of it. There was a significant price drop just before Christmas did you really expect another one this soon?

I wouldn't expect another significant price drop till the the final quater of 08. Sony can actually afford a price drop on the PS3 due to the fall of manufacturing costs plus decrease of Blu-ray diodes cost. I believe they are actually now beginning to make a profit on every PS3 sold so I don't think they want to lose that by lowering the price this early.

um no. just going by what I read. I heard they were having a price drop because sony was finally seeing profit due to lower manufacturing costs and also because it was part of the deal they made with Warner Bros and New Line to get them exclusive so that the PS3 sales can double to bring out more Blu-Ray players. I'm not in need of a price drop, I already have my 60g. I was just wondering if this was still taking place cause my family asked me and I didn't know, so I asked y'all, and if it was then My fam and I where gonna put in on a system for bro. No biggie just a simple question. But from the look of it it was all a lie.

Thanks anyway.

This is what I really dislike about sites like n4g.com. They just post rumors by random people and lots of people take it as fact. Then some people even get mad at sony for not dropping the price and they say, "WTF?! DAMN SONY SAID SO ON N4G.com there would be a price drop!" when in actuality it was just some random dude giving some points as to why a drop would be good.

The real issue is reading comprehension.

Yea, but alot of people read that site and post on slickdeals or cheapassgamer that it's basically confirmed that there will be a price drop.
