This is the same company that denied that there was a price cut, and then cut the price. It's like a three-headed horse and each head is clueless about the other two.
Can somebody explain to me how this company stays afloat?

I guess we'll have to just wait and see then. You can never tell with these guys what's going to happen. Either way, I'm not buying a PS3 until I can get it for $400 or cheaper.
I agree with bhive, there is no reason to believe them until this year is over and 60 GB models are still around. While they never really denied Reeves' claim, it might be good news for Sony.
Really, this was such a cynical move. Announce the "price cut" right before E3, and ride the good wave of PR through the show. Do you think that Sony would have been named "best of show" around the internet if they hadn't made the announcement? Or if they'd told that is was a feature bump? Possibly, but I have to think that it affected a lot of people's perceptions. Including mine.

i seriously think that it is less lies and more miscommunication within the company. i do wish they had someone to control he leakiness a little better.
"He said that if they had lowered the price in Europe, that territory would have run out of their current inventory by the end of July."
I fell off my chair reading this, PS3s aren't selling, they are gathering dust on the shop shelves.
Not only we didn't get a price cut, $ony are trying to palm off tittles that no one will buy anymore once the 'big' games come out (GTA4, FFXIII, MSG4).
As for the free joypad, who will wont it when the new pad comes out that has rumble in it?
$ony can stick their console where the sun don't shine.

Since no one mentioned the headline yet. I loved it, gave me a good laugh.
I thought it was weird that a Sony Europe exec would comment on Sony America's plans. Now it's a wait and see. Aug 1st right? From what the Sony Euro guys said. 17 days till we possibly find out who's full of shit. I just want to see one of them punch the other.
Round 1... FIGHT!

Sony needs a ministry of truth. This shit is just ridiculous, like a company run by the government.
Sony, get yourself a Reggie or Major Nelson and let them be the unified mouthpiece. Quit with this left hand/right hand bullshit.

Do note the video eksMAN linked above. It's Kaz Hirai in an interview explicitly stating that they're only going to have one SKU moving forward, and that the 60GB is already out of production.

I guess its hard to believe any damage control from SCEA when Kaz Harai says himself, "when the 60 gb SKU is gone from retailers shelves, it's back to the $599 price point"

They fucked themselves in ass pipe and HARD. I love their NO NO IT'S LIES, SAY WHAT NOW...OH OK YES ITS TRUE...HAHAHAHA
Reeves is right - and Hirai confirmed what he said.
So it's 2 to 1 Sony execs that PS3 60GB version is gone by July/August and only the backcompat-crippled PS3 80GB with cheaper harddrive (for Sony) remains available in large quantities.
Oh sure, they'll have the signs up in shops that they offer PS3 60GB, but they just won't have them in stock... I can hear already the sales rep: "Why don't you take the 80GB version, it go more HDD and comes with a free game" (which you probably don't want but... hey!
I really really wanted to like Sony again... just won't happen.
