Unfortunately, the OP is wrong.

"A "major" UK retailer has told game site CVG that PSP and PS3 price cuts are "definitely coming soon". Rumors have been circulating about such a price cut for some time.

"It's been on the cards for a while," the retailer is quotes as saying, "but manufacturers are not in the habit of giving exact dates so as not to effect sales."

The rumored price cut is supposed to bring the PS3 down to US$300 and is expected to be announced next week. "

An UK retailer talking about prices in dollars? ...

I'm not saying it can't happen, but it sure will be interesting to see Sony's finances and share price if they're going to be reckless like that. Goodbye to the goal of seeking profitability in the games division (which they promised to shareholders).

Granted, the games division won't really exist anymore after April, as it will get merged, but considering that it's merging with two other under-performing  businesses (vaio/walkman), I don't really see how that can help.
