A while ago i was telling my friends that the only way PS3 was going to gain a lot of ground was if they started giving them away.

Now this. 0.o

Jesus how much money are Sony prepared to lose on the PS3...?

Anyway is this to drive game sales or blu-ray sales? what d'ya reckon?

Just goes to show you a price drop is possible.

actually, its probably the electronics division who's losing money on this. if sony is like other companies, each devions has their own marketing budgets and the electronics division is probably the one subsidizing the cost of the ps3. as a whole, sony is spending money on this but per division, the game division is not affected.

though i bet their still making money out of this for sure.
