Sony Kills Rumor: No PS3 Price Cuts

There will be a price cut this year mark my wordsTX360

dido... plus, if some second rank website called Sony over the phone and asked them... does the answer you get really qualify as an official statement???

I use to think a price drop wasn't necessary, though I think it would be great timing. The PS3 has been pumping out good games that sell well and they should keep up that momentum with a price cut. Maybe by june or so. munu9

if sony is smart they will do what MS did.

Drop it in August or september. So when the price drop wears, itll pick right back up with a holiday boost.

I still am deeply impressed with how MS handled the 360 in the second half of 2008.

the price is fine. Some of you need to get your lazy asses up and work , either that or stop complaining Sonic_on_crack

Price does matter- So I wouldn't expect too many sales of the PS3 at that price point compared to its comparable competition.

Could be something else though, considering Sony believes that the Xbox360 costs more.

Are they simply confident in their console or can they just not afford a price cut? (Pun intended)

Edit: Of course, they could also just be lying-- they ARE winning over people with recent releases such as Yakuza 3 and Killzone 2.

The source is weak.

There will be a price drop and your friend will think about the money he lost that could have went towards games.:(

If would be stupid of Sony if they don't drop the price.

And I'm not surprised if a Sony spokesperson denies a price cut, like anybody in their right mind isgoing to reveal the company's agenda to everyone that happens to contact them.

The whole price cut rumor started with Michael Prachter, hope he takes the blame for this whole mess. And I don't think people would realize that a rumor of a price cut could be the real thing pulling back PS3 sales at the moment, considering most prospective buyers right now might be just waiting for it to come, thats why they're holding back. Maybe a price cut will come at the end of the year, but not for now, or anywhere in the next 5 months or so.

Guys you dont understand that sony never cares about the PS3 as a console now they just used it to win the format war against the HD-DVD and to show the world how good is the blu-ray of course they will do that cuz it profit them many times more than the PS3 winning the consoles war and now when they already know they won the format war they are trying to produce good games in order to keep the Playstation brand in a better position for the next generation dont think the PS3 was even made to beat other consoles with its very high price after all not many people will buy 600$ at launch or 400$ for a console.

[QUOTE="PCgamer687"][QUOTE="Keep-the-Faith"]

we dont make those anymore.....now its "PS3 has less A-AAA". An equally good argument.

Keep-the-Faith

we can just say "its one game.....get some variety allready!!!" and "PSN is not better then LIVE just because its free. Far from it".

PC > consoles yes, but that just doesnt concern the lemmings.

[QUOTE="n00bkid"]

Of course they wouldn't say anything about a price cut...they still want people to buy PS3 now instead of waiting for one

Mr_Apple_Soup

^ i like this....but frankly, i dont care, i already have one!

same a price cut doesnt change the amount of money I had to spend so I could care less

A true fanboy:roll:

[QUOTE="Sonic_on_crack"]the price is fine. Some of you need to get your lazy asses up and work , either that or stop complaining coltsfan4ever

I second that. I think the price is fine too. You get a Game system ($200), Blu-Ray player ($200). How many 360 onwers have the Elite?

[QUOTE="Sonic_on_crack"]the price is fine. Some of you need to get your lazy asses up and work , either that or stop complaining ActicEdge

Nah, 400 dollars for a gaiming console is too much. Laziness or work has nothing to do with it. Just because you can afford it, doesn't mean its worth the price. Complaining seems like the best alternative.

So I guess the Elite is/was to much? But yet the 360 users want the elite:roll:

[QUOTE="coltsfan4ever"]I agree 100% with you!!! It burns me up when I keep reading ppl complaining about the PS 3 price. The system is worth every penny. If some people actually took the time to play the system and the exclusive games and use all the features they would realize that. But fanboys will always hate something they cant have. I love my PS 3. The system is great.

Considering the price of blue ray players going down, doesn't Sony have to cut the price or risk everyone buying a standalone blue ray player?

The PlayStation 3 is still €82 cheaper in the UK than in the rest of the EU so I suggest that EU citizens outside the UK buy one from the UK.

Agreed. I'm not lazy, it's just my money has to go to other things like books, food, transportation, etc. As much as I'd like to just drop 400 bucks on a playstation, I don't feel like going 2 weeks without food. :lol:

Its not just a blu-ray player, its a game system. The PS3 has nothing to do with standalone players.

No one really knows cept the people at Sony. Any company will decline any future cost reduction announcement. PS3 will go down in price, its just the way it works, we just don't know when. MS started this rumor to prevent a bunch of you from going and buying a PS3 for Killzone 2. link

By the way the PS3 is worth the money from a value comparison.
