Forums - Sony - Guess the next PS3 price drop date

I know PS3 is doing good and we are unlikely to see another price cut soon,,but most of my friends are waiting for another price cut before they get their PS3s.So I want to know your opinions.

 

I came across this article and was thinking about the possible date fir the price drop:

Also I remember Sony announced that 45nm cell processor production will start in 2-3 months.

 

So my guess would be the day after E3 this summer.

 

They get to annouce it there and make a big deal about it.

 

I think Only the 40gb will get the price cut now and both sku will get price cut in november again.

 

What is your guess?how many price cuts do we get this year?

Well, due to the PS3's success compared to last year, I think Sony will wait til much closer to Christmas for the price cut, and new SKU could be sooner, but I don't think we'll see a price cut til at least September, maybe later.



45nm hardware then drop so in the Fall. Price drop of $100. 40GB and 80GB models dropped, 80 GB model, no bc, $299 and 160GB model released $399. HDDs are hybrid HDDs so less heat released. Sony sells for profit.

Well, tell your friends if they are that cheap then buy one used.

But you never know, price drops can be quite obvious and other times hard to predict, with Sony and the PS3, right now it's hard to predict, the PS3 is selling well and eating up the 360's market share, so why mess with it right now? That's why I think they'll wait til a new SKU or until christmas.



Around gta 4 because Microsoft will drop the 360s price

 

Edit: Nevermind I didn't notice the release date for GTA 4 



"Why isn't samus in a mario kart game?"

summer tclose to fall when all their big games come out. like september august kind of area.

cut the rpice by 100 bucks



Fall/holidays, just in time for Resistance 2 and Motorstorm 2, also to battle against Gears of War 2.



Unless MS does a major price drop before now through E3 then i expect a 100 dollar price drop on the 40 gig and a 50 for the 80. Believe.
