Sony is tightening down costs for the PS3- a report on the blu ray diode

[Kwaad]

NJ5 -

Emotion Chip - 45$
BluRay drive - 200$
Original Cell cost - 95$

 

New costs.

Emotion chip - 0 removed.
BluRay drive - 50$
New Cell Cost - 60$

 

That's roughly a 150-200$ savings.

I'm sure the costs are down more than that. It wouldnt suprise me to see a 100$ price drop on the PS3 late 2007, however I expect it more early 2008. However if they did do a price drop in 2007, that would create an amazing stir, and possibly sell a few million consoles.
