Anti Sony fans, shut up already, will ya?

According to Joystiq:

"Australian trade magazine Smarthouse reports that it's received word that Sony might be planning a "global announcement" on Tuesday, regarding the PS3. Kotaku states that it has also received word -- apparently from Sony itself -- that a big announcement is imminent, but the site speculates that it could be for a PS2 price drop -- which we received evidence of this evening.

There's no more information to go on, at this stage, so the big reveal could be anything. A PS3 price cut has been on the cards for some time, but each Sony Computer Entertainment region sets its own price independantly, and we've never seen a simultaneous global price drop happen before.

If there truly is a global announcement, it could be regarding almost anything, like a God of War III release date. That would be "global," right?"

I really doubt that Sony would give Kotaku a tip.  There has been a lot of speculation that Kotaku just plagarized this from Smarthouse.  Kotaku has a history of shotty "journalism."
