How big will the boost be from the "PS3 Price Cut?" (predictions)

depends how its done......

In the UK you can now get a PS3 normally £299 for £298 WITH Res 2, Motorstorm 2 and Prince Of Persia... thats £100 off right now.

So it is effectively cheaper than a 360 Elite already and not much more than a 60 gig 360.

 

So you are using bundles to show that the PS3 is cheaper than the 360 elite? I can find a 360 elite bundle which will show that the elite is cheaper than the PS3 (in the bundle you stated above):

A bundle nowhere near compensates a price cut. If the PS3 truly was £200, it would blow the 360 out of the water in Europe.

i'd agree with you on that, but its a totally hypothetical assumption that will have to remain so, simply because it won't ever happen, Sony cannot afford.

as a business though, the important thing for them is to make the PS3 profitable. and that, for me as a gamer, is the important thing. Yes they may not get third party support that they enjoyed PS2-era, but Sony's own are capable of making the very best games this generation, and that the main deal for me.

shame though, great opportunity, just wrong time.
