Last week we told you about a possible leak from SCEE's annual staff meeting, where SCEE President David Reeves supposedly told his staff that they would become more competitive with pricing starting in March 2009. Since then, we've had our fingers crossed for a PS3 price drop.
According to VG247 and their unnamed source, Reeves sent out an email SCEE staff today reminding them that a non-disclosure agreement was built into their contracts. In other words, he said shut up and quit talking about that. What's funny is that this employee broke their NDA by sharing the email!
No one has a copy of this letter, so we'll mark it as a rumor. If true, though, this could be more evidence that points to a PS3 price drop.

So true and your comment is a great example. It was worth 2 cents and it is now worth 1 cent.
Probably they've already worked the number losing 2008 to Xbox360. They are planning on making enough money to cover their margins for 2008 and leaning on 2009 to pick up enough sales to beat Xbox360, through titles. Despite PS3 picking up it's gaming it hasn't smashed the competition as of yet.
The price drop appears to coincide with Killzone 2. Imagine a low price drop bundle with the Killzone 2 game.
These marketing plans help ALL companies look better for investors who keep the company running. Without investors every company would quickly be bought out or bankrupt fast.
