http://www.ps3center.net/news/2988/80gb-ps3-price-drop-goes-live/ PS3 price drop goes live for both SKUs Posted on May 18, 2009 by Nick The international online mega-retailer Amazon.com has officially axed the price of the PS3. Alright, now before you get your panties in a bunch and start hurling rotten tomatoes, it's only a $10 price cut. Still, $10 is better than nothing right? The 160GB has also been marked down $20, to $479. The price cut is also seems tohave taken place worldwide as well, with both Amazon Japan and Amazon UK dropping the price of their respective PS3 packages too. And with all the commotion caused by by the PS3 Slim speculation, now seems like a very peculiar time to lower the price... Check out the $389 80GB PS3(with free shipping, nonetheless) here and the 160GB(still with free shipping) here.

Was that an official quote?

If so... expect the big pricecut very soon.

$10 dollars? Is this some sort of joke? $10 is not the price cut that people are looking for. What is wrong with Sony?

^ Judging how stupid the quote sounds, I'd say he was kidding.

And just trying to understand your logic...if it was true, why would you expect a very big pricecut soon if the quote had just mentioned $10? Drop 10 today 100 tomorrow?
