Finally. Sony needs to be competitive, and this should help them considerably.

Engelos, are you against a 400 PS3? Why, do you want the system to get killed this christmas?

 Iam agianst people posting their uneducated opinion as fact.

 Is it to hard to think that if they are cuting the price its becuse they can ? 

I am against people posting deeply flawed logic so their console of choice doen't have something bad said about it.

You dont "just" cut the price for the hell of it as thats dumb buisness. MS could cut the price of the 360 right now and still break even, but that means they'd lose potential profit.

Sony is cutting the price because they absoloutly need to. If not, this Christmas would see really shitty PS3 sales and that might be the final straw for many devs, and could really spell the begining of the end (as far as being competitive, not as in dying)

But feel free to claim Sony is cutting the price because they can, so they can lose plenty of profit - or lose less money on each PS3 sold, depending on which report you beleive.
