It could be like Harry Kewell's agent denied rumours of him being transferred to Galatasaray, and two days after, he was officially there. It is often like that.

No immediate plans = we'll announce a price drop in a few months. Probably around E3. We want it to be a surprise because if we announce it early, MS will just plan their own price drop for the exact same time.

Don't worry. There will be a price drop this year.

so so true. if someone couldn't save up $400 in 2 1/2 years then they are either very very bad with money or need a better form of income creation

"We'll be cutting the price of the PS3 by $50 next Thursday. In the meantime we hope everyone will rush out and buy the console before the price drops." What the hell do you expect them to say? The continued price drop rumours are a millstone around Sony's neck. As soon as they do drop it we'll hear rumours of another one coming soon.

all these rumors of a price drop must really have hurt sony, i bet lot's of people have not bought ps3 cos they are waiting for the price to drop, trouble is no matter how much sony deny these rumorsm people still keep believing them, poor sony
