Two things:
1) How many price cuts has the PS3 had so far - five? And why would this one be so revolutionary when the others weren't?
2) I have a feeling that most "mundane" customers don't see the merit of the "value" argument, because it really has none. What would I do with the cheapest BR player/game console on the market if I don't want it anyway?
I don't think most people care that PS3 has a BR player and more advanced guts than its rivals - likewise, most people don't care that the Wii is inferior to the PS3 and the X360 graphics- and performance-wise. Would a mere price drop really make the PS3 that much more desirable over the two other systems?
Moves like this make it seem like Sony's just beating around the bush because it has forgotten how to score.

5 price cuts? Even 2 is questionable, there has really only been 1. And it was a big help - PS3 was getting beat, week after week by the 360 - After the price cut(s) it was outselling the 360, until the Microsoft cut the price of the 360. You really shouldn't talk about something that you have no knowledge of.

To lots of people, yes.
