Possible price drop in the PS3 furture?

July 05, 2007 in News comments 14

For those of you who are avid readers of Circuit City, you might have come across a certain article in the paper prophesying a certain 100 dollar price drop in Sony's new wonder console the PS3. Whether it is the truth or just another rumor is something to be seen, however the while the big boys at sony have denied it, there is wonder now as to whether this one of the surprises the company has in store at the upcoming E3.

As analysts, publishers and gamers have continued to wonder when (and if) Sony would issue a price drop for the PlayStation 3 in the near future, a mere advertisement may have confirmed it. The DVD Talk forums discovered an early copy of a Circuit City flyer promoting a $100 price break on PS3 starting on July 17th, bringing it down $499.

    I hope so. They are too expensive right now. If this goes down in price soon, I might considering getting this rather than a 360.

    Go Further! $100 is not enough. Drop it $150 to sell it at $450. THen you'll be Gold Sony! Take the world by storm. You need a wide base!
    Take Wii's example. Developers were wary of making games for it, but AFTER they got a wide base of consoles into people's homes, developers start to put money into making games for it. THEN more people start to buy the console because they see there are good games for it! It starts with a wide distribution! THe more you sell, the even-More you'll sell!
    Get those babies off the shelves Sony! Get them into neighbor's hands and soon they'll be in mine and all the other on-the-fencers.

    Why drop it? theres no point, yeah its alright for people to say that cause they cant afford it, but surely its not good for Business for Sony, i doubt there will be a price drop, am sick of hearing about price drops, there was rumours after it being out for a month that a price drop was in order, there simply should not be one, whether people like it or not, selling it at a low price is going to put Sony in a hell load of trouble

    Dropping the Pirce would be a nice surprise and I'm sure they would find that sales would go up significantly.
    Its just not everyday that someone has that much money to spend on a console + games ...

    They don't want to drop the price but they need to... Tough decision if I may say so myself.

    No price cut needed, or so I think. I dont think there is no problem that they are not going to have one.

    Well look at the facts at the moment and Sony aren't exactly winning the nextgen war. Let them stick to their guns and not lower the price then, bet it won't work.

    This is just a sale advertised by Circuit City most likely but still a deal nonetheless. A $100 off the PS3. That's an awesome deal. But yeah if Sony decides to do a price cut I'll be happy.
