Wont happen. Im even willing to make a month long ban bet that it wont.

It may not happen, but it really depends on how well the PS3 sells at $399+499 respectively. If sales of the 360 and Wii increase dramatically and PS3 sales stay flat or decline Sony will not have a choice. They will most likely need to come up with another SKU that is even more stripped down to cut costs. This is the way it goes. If the PS3's sales remain close to the 360 I doubt we will see a price cut. But the PS3 is significantly priced over the other consoles. They have a tough challenge in the current economy trying to get people to spend that extra money to get a PS3. The Blu-Ray drive helps, but I am not convinced it is enough. I mean this holiday season you can pick up an Xbox Arcade and a $149 BD Standalone player (if the rumor is true) vs a PS3 and still save $50....
