All these quotes of Kaz Hirai etc. It was marketing all the way - I was talking about it from the very beginning. Seriously I can't believe people expect manufactures to confirm further price drops... |
I didn't ever say that Sony wouldn't drop the price, but I did argue that they could choose not to because it could look bad if they had multiple price cuts in a given year ...

Well, at the current exchange rate it should be $490 and many analysts believe that in the near future our dollar could be high enough that the correct exchange would be $475 or possibly $450 ...
I'm not complaining, it is understandable that all companies want to be (somewhat) conservative and Sony is (at the moment) the company that is ripping Canadians off the Least ... ($10 PS3, $55 XBox 360, $25 Wii)
