Sony WILL lower the PS3's price
Destin Legarie | 12:11 PM on 07.16.2009 15 comments




A source who wishes to remain anonymous has leaked a little tidbit of info that may be interesting to some of you.

The source, who I again remind you wished to remain anonymous, is saying that an internal memo has been circulating around Sony that hints at what everyone has been hoping to be true. That Sony's black beauty the PS3 will be getting a price drop this Christmas. To quote "we got an internal memo from ______ saying there should be a price drop soon."

Maybe they took the money they were losing on their store in the Metreon which sadly closed recently in order to offset the losses expected by the price drop of the console.

Lets all have a moment of silence for the store in the Metreon...at least before we break open the champagne.

I would honestly laugh if the price got lowered and sales didn't increase and people still complained.

@zippyduda I would not laugh, I would actually not be surprised in anyway.

This article/rumor is like HipHopGamer.com absurd. I think he even ran an identical story a few weeks back!

@magnalon Sony keeps saying no, but their internal memos say "hells yes."

If this is true I might be buying a PS3 in the near future.

I've been thinking about buying a PS3 this Fall, but there really isn't enough software I'm interested in to justify a purchase at the moment and the Wii line up looks outstanding.

A price cut or this Killzone 2 bundle would definitely help though...or dare I say I might look into used consoles.

I will tell you exactly when the next PS3 price drop will come. 6 months after the release of the PS4.

Moral of the story, do not implement too advanced technology when we are not ready to afford it. THat or... not overprice it? I give up.

Sorry, man, but I don't really trust ScrewAttack to bring me my gaming news. I don't really consider that your territory, though maybe that's changed since I used to visit the place.

At least the PS3 is one price , not a lot of repair costs with a initiation price of the console ...
