During E3 no one concluded anything about when the pricing drop of the PS3 is going to be or how much. Mind shedding some light?

Everything is just speculation now. Some say when the mythical Ps3 slim comes out this fall.

Seeing as how Sony doesn't care how much we have to spend for a ps3 I think the next price drop will come when the ps4 comes out.

Everyone is in the dark. Everyone hopes for one but if you keeping hoping for it to happen soon you'll probably make yourself sick. I expect price drops to happen during the holidays but if it doesn't happen then I guess you'll just have to wait till next year.

I was just wondering since the PS3 is also in 3rd place when it comes to the amount of units sold so you think they would have tried something by now

Jesus how many price drops do you people want, Sony alredy had to cut out a few features just to drop its otiginal price. Soon with all the price drops you'll get a ps2 that plays ps3 games.

Ratchet1200
It's a misconception that selling the most units means anything, I mean if thats all that matters they would drop the price to 100 bucks. The cost of the system has to balance the cost of production and profits. So just because they are in 3rd place dropping the price may sell more units but it still wouldn't be financially viable to Sony. People are holding out hope for that pipe dream PS3 slim but I don't see a price drop happening anytime soon. Certainly not a dramatic one, because they are not going to make thier console cheaper then the 360, because price is part of the image that the PS3 is superior to the 360. So they could knock say 50 bucks off it it, but in this recession people aren't going to rush out and drop $350 on a console with $60 games, so there's no point in dropping the price.

yeah, I got birthdays near the end of the year and have to do the guessing game - buy now or take a chance and wait for the usual holiday price drops, but then take a chance on it being out of stock.

I thought there would be no price drop this year but all this news about slim and manufacturing cost decrease points to a price drop this year and soon.

If I were you, I would go out and buy the bundle with KZ2 and MGS4 with the ps3 for only $399.99! The games are worth about $90 total, so you get almost $100 off your ps3! So why wait for a price drop?

P.S. This is only if you have access to a Best Buy.

I thought for sure they'd drop the price after I bought one, but no. If that didn't do it, then nothing will.

If you don't have $400, then no PS3 for you!

all these price drops you people are hoping for are pipe dreams seeing as how much money per console they are losing as it is the only way they will make any money with a price cut is by putting some ps3 components into a ps2 case
