No. Price cut either late summer or fall. They cannot afford a price cut now, that is fake.

Sony won't lower the price of the PS3 because they can't afford to lower it.

lol, i'll laugh if sony actually has the balls to do that. the article was somewhat believable until it said "the return of backwards compatibility + resistance 2 for no extra price"

that killed it.

It's true, I bought one from my friend who has access to them at his best buy.

They have the $299 ones in the back in storage and will destroy all the ones that are $399 that are on shelves now.

The only reason it isn't announced now is that sony gives retailers a few days to destroy all the more expensive ones to make way for the cheaper ones.

It's a joke because nothing can save the PS3 this late in the race. 360 and OnLive are the future of gaming as we know it.

That story is meh, not sure if I believe it at all.

It's something Sony would do, packing the more expensive model with goodies and selling one "bare", but I don't know if they could still afford it.

Honestly, they will never be able to afford it. Their games division will become bankrupt after this gen. That's why they are focusing on the PS2 ONLY. PS3 just can't cut it.
