What I just want to say is that I m not sure they are not talking about a 100$ credit card that will be offer by 1 retailer or something like this.

HOLY SHIT, take a look at this!:

 That's my thought as well, a 10gb model at $300. Most people who bought the 40gb won't feel screwed and they'd have a system below the MS premium.

However I'm not sure what Sony would hope to gain by dropping the price so quickly and at such a bad time of year, it's not going to significantly boost sales and BluRay has already beaten out HDDVD. Another $100 drop would make more sense when GTA4 or MGS4 hit the market.

 Seruiously you're getting me so excited and then we'll find out it was just a fake and I'll cry.

maybe it is a best buy special offer ?
maybe the guy was using a speicla credit card ?

how is it possible to have a receipt since the price drop is supposed to occur the 28th ?

@rukusa

confirmed!"

I dunno about this one...althought it would be a brilliant ideas to increase sales, i don't see it happening. Mainly because the ps3 is doing well right now. Why decrease price and piss off investors when the ps3 is doing fine?

If they are serious (at all) about making their fiscal prediction, they *do* need to do something.

I will be in shock however if this happens. I can't believe Sony is *so* adverse to actually making money. This would be bordering on "console dumping" (getting rid of their excess stock).

It seems much more likely, a lot closer to the '08 holidays - doing it now just seems wrong (again, unless its dumping - maybe canceling the 40gig model, and bringing in something new).

Might also be a new strategy to push BluRay even harder.

...

Anyway, the price (in Australia) still has a long way to fall before its price competitive. I'm not spending $700AU on a PS3 (that comes with nothing), and doesn't play PS2 games. Maybe $299 or $399. 

MS will definitely drop their price to match, and Ninty will do nothing in response (Wii still selling out).

...

This still seems like the WRONG time to me - maybe when GTA or some other big title hits - but not now, when everyone is just recovering from the holidays spending spurge!  

yep yep yep

*slaps darth's head from behind* be quiet dude. Lets wait and see what happens.

And then see if theres a cause for a guys night-out for a victorious drunk celebration.
