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.

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?

Still, you payed the inb4pricedrops. So basically you won't be getting your refund, you will be getting a new one instead /facepalm

I Will, and as long as the item is faulty, I can return for a full refund.
If I cant, well, my dads not the person who you want to argue with. :y:

If the price does drop, this will increase the ability to hack, so they may lower the price but not by a significant amount.

I would venture to say that by the time the price drops most new systems will be shipped with the latest firmware. SO buying one for a modded lobby may not be an option.
