With rumors floating around for months now that Sony might drop the price of the PS3. There's a chance that even good quality titles might not move as many systemsas some people think., because your going to have alot of people whoare going to continue to hold out onbuying a PS3 in hopes that the PS3's price tag will drop. So lagging sells might continue even further if all this happens.
yeah sony needs to do a price cut with MS's newdisposable console,"Hours of gaming fun, wait for red lights, then simply return to the store for more hours of fun!!"
When the 20 gig was out, it didn't sell well at 500$. So for the not that much better 60 gig, i think its going to have to drop about 200$ to make a dramatic impact.hazuki
Wrong. Any drop brings press, and with press come people. Look at PSP sales after the $20 drop.

there is a difference between dropping down $20 from a $200 price tag than dropping $50 from a $500 price tag. $50? wtf is that? ...that's what...my tax money right there? my chump change? If Sony drops it $100 or more then i'll think about picking it up...
FYI, sony already loses money by each ps3 sold. estimates are 200$ lost for each 60 gig version sold. 20 gigs are gunna get pulled from the market due to loss of sales. but the loss of profit makes sence due to the built in blu ray movie player, which ive seen sell for 1000$. sony can take the hit from manufacturing so many electronics. ps3 is also built better than the 360. its more durable and has no tendency to overheat. my 360 is sent in for repairs now ( conveiniently one month after the warranty expired, sucks.) and encountered problems with the ejecting disc tray after only a few months. i was not concerned about the tray however. the repairs were 140$. problem with ps3 is that it does not come with high definition cables. they are sold seperatly. i think the release of the elite was a bad move. consoles are not the same as computers which can be upgraded constatly. when we bought the premium system we got ripped off. either have the best availible at day one or dont do it at all.
I think Sony will be dropping the price by a $100 if not more because $50 won't make much of a difference if sony made it drop to $299 temporarily then PS3's would be sold out everywhere just maybe not japan because they love the wii so much but all over the sales would cream the 360's in sale especially during christmas everybody would want it for a christmas present you'd be so lucky to have parents to buy a PS3 as a gift and give it to you as a surprise because my friend got one for christmas :cry: but the bad thing about it was that he got the 20gb but atleast he got one when I bought one I didnt want to pay $700!(i live in canada) but then i couldn't resist and gave in all my PS2 games and my PS2 and got it for $516 but i was just happy i got one but right now I'm not even touching my PS3 since I have no games cause there werent any that interested me right now I'm just waiting for transformers since the games comeing out this month dont really even interest me after i buy this game i will buy lair but right now it is just sitting therejacky531
1. Learn how to use periods...wow.
2. $50...$20...any cut would help anything really. Think about it. You getting an extra $10 would get you enough money to buy you a cheap game. Think about it.
Forget a price cut. PS3 needs more games.bdhoff
It has some games - just not that appeals to everyone. Not everyone is going to like every game you know.

Yeah there's a difference. It saves you money. That $20 can get you something you wouldn't have been able to get beforehand - whether it be a game for another console, lunch, or whatever. It still saves you money.
sony would be nutts if they did 100....theyd lose so much moneyblazinpuertoroc
how is this? They would be making WAY more money than their current price tag,selling more=more profit... think of it,high price+low sales=loss,lower price+greater sales=profit

Um, you think of it...if it costs sony more to manufacture than they sell it for, they take a loss for every unit sold. So if they lower the price and sell more, their losses will be even greater, because now they are taking a bigger hit for every console sold, and the amount of consoles sold is higher than before
