Like I said earlier, this could've been a stipulation in any deal Sony made with Warner, dropping the price of the ps3 yet again to spur adoption of Blu-Ray, and cause the standalone manufacturers to drop their prices to compete. This would explain both why Sony is dropping the price so soon after the launch of the 40gb, and also why no word has popped up from any retailers (the Warner decision was a last minute decision made on Jan. 3).
All that being said, I still think the chances of a price drop are slim to nil. I think the rumors of Sony paying Warner $400-500 mil. are more credible.
