..... are acknowledging Sony lied when they claimed the $499 20GB PS3 wasn't selling well.

Sony didn't even give the 20gb a chance. Hell, even the N-Gage was supported for longer.

According to Sony fanboys, even the "stripped down" 20GB has more than the 360 premium.

XBOX 360 fanboys claiming the $100 price drop wont affect XBOX 360 sales and Wii sales. The fact is that more PlayStation 2 owners will be available to afford one sonner than anticipated.

It'll help sell it to the gamers. Casuals don't start picking up systems until about the $300 and lower range.

It's my opinion that even a $200 wont increase sales SUBSTANTIALLY for the PS3. With the Wii business model looking like a success, Joe 'casual' consumer still wont but it. If you look at the 360's sales and undeniable larger game library, the $400 price point isn't making that demographic buy it. The 360 is going to be surpassed by the Wii in short order, which to me, shows that even $400 is considered too high. With the PS3 being $400 and a smaller library what is going to convince the average John and Mary to buy it? By the way, I'm getting the PS3 with or without the price drop because of the games. How many other people think like that?

It won't be a $200 price cut for far too many reasons.

The 20gb sold horribly, much like the Core 360 sells horribly, despite the cheaper price tag.

Also, who has said this will make the ps3 sell like hotcakes? It'll help, sure, but it won't start selling really well until it drops to $400 and the games start coming, and who knows if it'll ever start selling like hotcakes. Maybe when it hits sub-$200?

$500 is still WAY too much for what your getting............a Blu-Ray Trojan Horse with equal to or less than x360 capabilities with less games and less GAMING related features.

The over 80% of PS2 owners who bought a PS2 for $199 or less are not gonna turn around and buy a PS3 for $500.

Oh yes it would. If the PS3 was 200$ cheaper it would sell like hotcakes. Quote me on it.

A price drop is always nice but the pot would be sweeter if the PS3 package included the following:

sixaxis rumble

blue tooth headset

hdmi cable

and they really need to make a point system, I do not want to use credit cards to purchase video game content.

The PS3 has no games and no content on their Playstation Store right now, so these things might make up for it. But hey at least now the PS3 is as cheap as the cheapest Blu Ray movie player. I still just want to play games though. So till then, I am just fine with the Xbox 360 Elite, Nintendo Wii, and the PC.

actually the core sells pretty well by all accounts. if it didnt it wouldnt be on the market still, and rockstar wouldnt be so worried about non HDD gamers as well as other devs.

I think Sony took the 20g version off the market because they were losing even more money on said version. HDD's dont cost alot at all and you could just drop a 250g drive into your ps3 later. I wish the 20g version was still around with the rumored price cut i'd buy one.

Bingo.

Needless to say that wasn't the reason Sony gave for discontinuing the 20GB, but Sony fanboys drunk the kool-aid with the reason they did give.

..... are acknowledging Sony lied when they claimed the $499 20GB PS3 wasn't selling well.

Sony didn't even give the 20gb a chance. Hell, even the N-Gage was supported for longer.
