The only reason Sony would drop the price right now is if it was one of the terms of the contract between them and Warner. It's quite feasible for Warner to have requested such a thing, as it would grow Blu-Ray's marketshare directly by getting more ps3s in peoples homes, and indirectly as it would spur standalone manufacturers to drop their prices. It would also be cheaper and more beneficial to Sony than writing a $500 million check, which all the rumors imply took place.
However, that is the ONLY reason, and I don't think it happened.
