Absolutely pathetic part deux
Whoa doggie.

Well shit, I'd get one. That said; highly dubious.

Total bullshit. Not going to happen.
No doubt PS3 will be 299$ by the end of this year but... January? :lol :lol :lol
It doesn't make sense to cut the price before Metal Gear Solid 4 and Gran Theft Auto 4 hit the market. I think that in April we'll see some action with prices and bundles from both Sony and Microsoft, a 50$ spring price cut for both is likely IMO.

That would piss off everyone that bought one over the holidays and be terrible PR. I think they would delay the price cut until there's some strategic reason for it, like to encourage people to pick up a PS3 with GTA4 or MGS4. Right now there seems to be no point.

Chasing the story back to its origin, it looks like Sony will be running another promotion with their Sony Card, where if you sign up for one you can get a PS3 for $299

It looks like as the thread progressed so people started saying "yeah, I've heard its dropping to $299. My Uncle's retarded cousin who works as a cleaner at Walmart definitely thinks this is happeneing".
Also, that thread is from over 2 weeks ago.

I'll probably buy it when it reaches $200. I like buying a console cheap, late in its life cycle, so I have a ton of good games to play, many of which are not $60 anymore. Plus, I still haven't played X360 games like Bioshock, so I want to get through those first.
That said, I probably won't be able to resist come summer, so I'll grab one. Gaming is an expensive hobby. Here's to hoping this is true/will be true by summer.

If true, awesome. Then MS will lower the price of the 360 and maybe Ninty will drop their price on the Wii in response to Sony's move.
All of that means more people buying consoles and playing games. More people = more better.
With that said, I also heard there's an army of unicorns gathering in the Gobi desert. I believe that it's the threat of this army of unicorns attacking that is causing Sony to make this proactive decision and lower their price.
Unicorns are notoriously cheap bastards and are suckers for next gen gaming...
stay tuned...

No, I'm pretty sure that distinction goes to the 32X (maybe only held back by the fact that it was an add-on/upgrade instead of stand-alone). Never have I seen a rock drop like that, and I bought it at the start of the price drops, before they even started packing in games. Ow.
As for the PS3 cut, too soon, and no point? Unless they're announcing it for a later date, which is a silly thing to do when it kills nearly all the sales you would have in the meantime. I'd have a laugh if that was true, though, since that's dead-on my birthday. "Here's your gift, it's a price cut! Now buy one already!"

Most retailers will price match up to a certain number of days after purchase. If the price drop is real you should contact the store you bought it from and see if they have such a policy.
Anyways, I hope this turns out to be true. I already purchased a 60 gig a week ago, but I'd really like to see Sony get serious this generation.

No way in hell. Probably some fanboy's attempt at preventing/delaying people from buying PS3s.

Don't hold your breath. I would expect the 8 year old PS2 to hit that price point some time soon though.
