This Has TO be Price Cut
Remember this rumor from November, Everything came true , only one left is a price cut?

"LittleBigPlanet & MotorStorm coming to PSP
Our source also confirmed that LittleBigPlanet PSP is definitely in development and that Media Molecule have been working on it for four months. Footage was shown to attendees, though Alex Evans allegedly wasnt prepared to show it himself because it was such an early build. It looked good, obviously not PS3 good, but missing the level of detail that you get in a final release says Legends.
MotorStorm PSP is on the way and target footage was shown. No more details on that one.
DONE
"Uncharted 2, Killzone 2 & God of War 3 info
A 30 second clip of in-game footage of Uncharted 2 was shown displaying Drake being shot at, followed by an explosion. No full title or location was revealed though our source tells us that he did spot a wall with a line of 4 or 5 Aztec masks. Dont expect a huge graphical leap though - Looks the same as Uncharted 1, no bad thing, says our source.
The intro to Killzone 2 was also shown off which showed the character from the original trailer and a Helghan leader. Paints a picture of the world a bit more, says Legends.
Finally our source revealed that God of War 3 was masterfully shown at the end, and that it looked so good our source wasnt clear whether it was CGI or not!
The trailer showed Kratos wielding his swords and fighting off hoards of skeletons and Cyclopss, before catching a ride on an eagle, and killing it when he got dropped off. The final scene showed Kratos looking up to a long dark, deep cavern, presumed to be Mount Olympus.
Some of it looked like it could be in-game action because of the camera angles, but it all looked so good that it couldnt be. CGI or not, everyone was pumped up by this. The anticipation is growing. God of War 3 could be amazing."

"Price cuts coming in March, PS3 performing better in PAL territories than 360
Our source tells us that SCEE President David Reeves took to the stage to discuss the current economic climate and how it shouldnt affect PlayStation business, though was quick to mention that SCEE will be getting more competitive in price from March 2009 onwards. Our guess is that well be seeing price cuts to PS3 around Easter to tie in with the release of Killzone 2
Reeves then went on to say that the PS3 has a bigger install base than the 360 in PAL territories, and that the install base gap will significantly increase in 2009. Apparently SCEE is the success story of the SCE divisions, generating more profit than SCEA and SCEJ. 2008 sees it in the black in profit our source revealed. Apparently there are more technological innovations to come for both PS3 and PSP, but details werent disclosed. "

oh wait.
3 or 4 GOOD games.
I genuinely think Smarthouse should be a banned site. It's absolutely horrific. From their own news story:
That's because price gouging is a crime, Smarthouse. You are accusing them of criminal fraud. As opposed to simply bitching about a weak Australian dollar, taxes and horrific economies of scale. If you genuinely believe Sony Australia doesn't want to sell the damned thing cheaper, then you're not qualified to report on the matter.

You might be right... I just hope the EU price won't have to rise 100 Euros to make up for the $100 cut in the U.S.

Or...
they are still waiting for their accountants to work out if the price cut is feasible and they expect to be done by March 31st... if they find a mistake in their calculations after they have already released the PR... well they can always send another one out saying "April Fools!" and close the doors to their offices (as well as staying as far away from windows as possible).
Hey... it might explain why Sony's FY ends on March 31st...

Oh oh, instead of dropping the price by 100$, Sony should just include a PS2 with every PS3 (see PS2 dropping to 99$ thread).

If this is indeed only an announcment of the now known about PS2 price cut, they are insane. Cut both.
