After charging $599 for a PS3 80Gig (+ game), they would have some serious BALLS to charge $399 for the same thing... with a slightly smaller hard disk.

I can't see it happening, and it would make a massive dent in their pockets if it was true.

Then again this is Sony - they aren't exactly the most rational company around.

You cant see anything good happening to Sony .That doesnt mean it wont happen .In fact ,sooner or later ....

Why don't they just sell it for $199 and give away 10 games? They would be sure to win then.

The reality is that Sony is not in the best financial shape to take more losses. The stockholders are going to revolt if Sony doesn't meet estimates.

theyve been bring down the manufacturing cost constantly.. you are probably one of those who still believes that it costs 840 to produce a ps3..... If so then get lost... Id rather have a more credible source telling me what state sony is in financially

I actually read the financial reports, unlike a lot of people. It don't look all that great, especially for the gaming division. Don't believe me, read them for yourself. In fact, I beg people to read them but fanboys never do.

i actuall havent read it since Q3 the gaming division is the only division to take a massive loss but if im not mistaken thats a normal thing when you release a console.. and if i remember correctly overall profits rose
