As you know there is a big PS3 announcement coming on Tuesday which marks the first day of the Sony's fiscal calendar.

Logical Guesses of the "Big Announcement":

- Home Full Launch

- 2.70 update with tons of new features

- PSP2 (not PS3 related though)

- PS3 Price Drop

Do you think it's the Price cut?(remmeber that Revves said they will become price competitive in the new fiscal year in the leaked meeting.All the other leaked info from the meeting came true.)

How much if so?(50?100?)

Will it be World Wide?

We will come back to this thread on tuesday to see who was right.

EDIT:

here is what one of the insider has posted on neogaf after debugging the new firmware:

but one question rises. if it's BC for PS3 why didn't they announce it in GDC?why did they have to wait till March 31?

PS2 pricecut seems to be semi-confirmed, but I don't think the ps3 gets one...which will dissapoint some, EVENTHOUGH sony has been stating they have no intentions of cutting the price for the ps3. I think the ps3 will get a chop this fall, before the holiday, but unfourtunately, so will the 360, so it's going to be a moot event.

nahh,when PS3 gets a drop then it actually falls into a reasonable price point for a gaming machine(299) but X360 is already there(199)

I think October will be when the PS3 will get a cut.

"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
