It would be hard for Sony to drop $100.00.

There will be no price cut. Am I the only one that listens to the manufacturers?

I want to see fair pricing!

PS3 Slim:

GBP - 249
€ - 299
$ - 349

Potentially all bundled with a "free" game

Nope. We all listen, but only few believe.

In two weeks? So, if this really happens, the last week of august the week to watch.

Fixed for accuracy

They need to get rid of the loss and make a nice profit. Thus, that's why I believe 349$ is a good price. Profit plus some nice sales.

Like I already said, the 80GB PS3 costs 350€.
that's a 50€ price cut, not 100....

aw. old starcraft always with the best insight from the big ties themselves...dude, bleeding money or not, $300 tag is coming, if not the slim, then the current models. The bleeding is about to be someone else's, rivers and rivers of BLOOD.

Whos to say they won't be making a profit off selling the slim at $299? If they have indeed reduced the manufacturing cost of the PS3 by 70% then unless the system originally cost over $1000 to manufacture then it should be profitible.

Regardless, Sony's financial 2010 forecast confirmed a $100 price drop multiple times.

1. There is absolutely no way Sony will be able to ship 13 million PS3s by the end of March without a $100 price drop.

2. It seems extremely unlikely that SCE could be expecting such a massive lost for this fiscal year considering that Sony could be earning as much as a $75 profit off of every PS3 sold if they simply drop the price by $50. The PSP Go's suggest profit margins and GT5's rumored holiday release compound the unlikelyhood.
