Nobody knows when Sony will have a price cut except Sony. Why not just wait for an official announcement?

There is no reason to not lower blu ray price at all. It is already known now that the manafacturing of ps3's are probably cheaper then they are selling it. Because of this information is telling us how cheaply they are manafacturing it.


It might be a smaller gap of loss or breakin even but I don't think profit is coming from selling PS3. With that said I don't think Sony thought it was going to be able to have such a price drop in manufacturing so soon. Between the Bluray diode and the IBM processors . I think a price drop is going to happen pretty soon but who knows?


Due to Sony releasing data from 3 months before launch that the ps3 costs 800 $ to manafacture. And the fact that they got rid of the emotion engine(which probably lowered the price 50 more $), are now manafacturing the cell at a cheaper price(lowered the cost even further probably around 30-40 $'s), and now bluray diodes are easier to mass produce, most likely making it cheaper (which lowers the cost probably around 300 $ to manafacture blu-ray to around 150-200 $), I doubt that they aren't making money off the ps3, and that a price drop is going to happen around christmas time.
