Now this news comes as only a rumor to be sure. I cannot stress how much so it is a rumor, because no one has sited a source. All of this is speculation based upon the current state of the world market and the price drops that Sony has made in the past. Nonetheless all of the gaming sites have blown up with this story.

It is rumored that this August at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, Sony will be announcing a European price cut for it's PS3 console. The price cut is rumored to be dropping from £255 to a much more affordable £179.99.

This would correlate to a price drop of around $50 to $100 dollars on US markets, meaning there would be a significant drop from the current $299.

Sony reiterated that it ‘doesn’t comment on rumour or speculation’, when questioned about upcoming price activity.

So what are your opinions? Do you think a price drop is likely? Do you think a price drop is necessary to help Sony increase sales after the PSN hack? Would the lower price encourage any of you Xboxers to invest in a PS3 as a secondary system?

That post makes no sense.

But on topic: Pretty good news, but in Aus it will probably go down from 500 to 400 or something (we are always getting ripped off when it comes to electronics)

ohhh, i'm picking me up a few of them!

As soon as most technology comes out you never expect the prices to go down. You wait and wait for the price to go down. Then when it finally dropd you realize you've missed the best parts.

hope the pricfe drops i am gunna need a new one soon

I hope it does! I need a new system! Thanks for the post :y:

i think they make enough ****ing money and its time to drop the prices ,

even so they would make more sales because all the people without much money can buy one also you tell me ps3 £100 or an xbox £150plus pay for online

myopinion and the games too £40wtf i want 7 8 games in november cost me what £300 **** off

Kind of expecting this, Sony want to try and get more people to buy them to get back on their network.
