Last PS3 price cut was 1 year and 2 months ago. Isn't it time to start thinking about the next one?

360 hasn't had one since 2008.

Unless you count every time there's a new sku they drop the prices of the old models 

And this chart shows how Elites went from 399 to 299 in 2009, yeah the elite replaced the premium essentially but that's a big change worth noting.  Overall resistance to price drops probably has a lot to deal with screwy changes in exchange rates and inflation in America. 

That same thing happens with the PS3, though, too.  While it does add value, its just not the same.  "Xbox 360, now starting at $199" and "PS3, now only $299" made people come out in droves.  "PS3, now with a bigger harddrive" just doesn't have the same ring ...
