this is how things will prob play out for ps3 price

1. at GDC or TGS sony will announce slim for $400

2. drop the price of phat ps3 by 100 to deplete inventory

3 then in 2010 will fully make a price cut for ps3 slim to 300.

this is my prediciton wat do you think

I say Sony announces a slim/price drop at this years TGS right before the holiday. Theres also a rumor that a price drop may come with Madden 10.

I just wonder what kind of impact it will have on sales. Contrary to popular belief sales of the PS3 have been about equal to the 360 since the launch of the PS3 (both systems have sold about 22 million units since the launch of the PS3). If the 360 keeps selling at the same that it has for the last 2 years and the PS3 gets any bump whatsoever it will start outselling the 360.

I hope they cut the price to below £200 in the UK. Then I might buy one.

I don't they they will release a slim ps3

Sony needs to focus there R&D on lowering the manufacturing cost of the current ps3 rather than taking the time and money to create a slim ps3, which would prolly be just as expensive to manufacture as the old ones.

I expect Sony to announce a bump in price :P

Hmmm, maybe they'll take some off this year. Then again, maybe not.

companies announce price drops as late as possible so that some people will still buy before the price drops. i don't remember too many times a company has announced a price drop at a trade show.

usually rumors come for about a month, then it actually happens. i haven't heard to many leaks that sony is gearing up for a price drop.
