UPDATE: Yeah, that PS3 price cut isn’t happening. Sony‘s gone and slashed the price of the PS2 instead to $100 in the US. Does that thrill anyone?
The Sony PS3 could finally be about to get that price cut: Sony‘s let slip that a major PlayStation announcement is due tomorrow, sending gamers into a frenzy over possible price drops.
It would be mighty strange for Sony to drop PlayStation news the week after the Games Developers Conference, but it looks like the long-rumoured Sony PS3 price cut is about to materialise. A Sony gaming announcement is due on Tuesday, and we reckon it might just be a Sony PS3 price drop.
Sony’s been taking a bit of a battering of late, with profits down and the older Xbox 360 still going strong against the PS3 in sales, but a price cut could be enough to tempt gamers to splash out. If the Japanese games giant can lower the price point, it could be enough to catapult the Sony PS3 up the charts.
Of course, there’s no guarantee the PS3 will see a price cut. Sony’s keeping quiet until tomorrow, and a “PlayStation announcement” could just as much relate to the PS2, PSP, or even a PSP phone, rather than a Sony PS3 price cut.
That said, these rumours have been building for a long time, so a PS3 price cut is where we’re placing our bets. The question is, how low can Sony go? We’ll let you know as soon as a Sony PS3 price cut, or whatever is up Sony’s sleeve, breaks.
