Forums - Sony - Playstation 3 $100 Dollar Price cut hits July 15th..

It could be. PS3fanboy.com sounds semi-legit. It could also be somebody photoshopping it all in, also.

Price cuts are usually leaked before the company announces them mainly because of how impossible it is to keep it a secret ... Most retailers need a lot of notice in order to produce advertizements and promotional displays. Between the management at the major retailers, the people who produce their ads, and the newspapers/fliers there are so many people who know it is impossible to keep it a secret.

In other words this is highly possible, but I'm not saying it is true. 



Maybe I should return and re-buy my own 360 console at target, because probably M$ will cut its price within a couple days.

Got my PS3 back in February, but that's good news in general. I guess Sony cut the production cost by $100, so I guess they will be seeing around the same in terms of losses.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Doh! I hope it is true I would love to get a new xbo360.

WTF does this have to do with this thread? Go hate somewhere else. Skilled immigrants means cheaper labor, higher profits, just like in every other developed country in the world, we just pay better.

 

If this goes through then three more people where I work were just added to the Sony camp. yea!! =)

I think that we should check out the stores that sell games.

IF, this price cut is indeed iminent, then stores should expect a massive increase in sales for the next couple of weeks following a price cut....after that sales will drop off a bit but will still be a lot better than before the price cut.

Therefore, given an expected increase in demand, we should see the PS3's stockpiled......mabey given some more room.

Has anybody noticed the PS3's in any of the big stores stockpiled with greater than normal levels????



I dont think it will make much of a diferemce, maybe a slight increase in sales, but dont expect it to explode in sales at all. $499.99 is a start, but not low enough to really make a big difference in sales.

360 sold 10 mil at $399. Most new 360 purchases are Elites $479. Its going to increase sales. I expect at least 5 mil by the end of the summer if this is true!
