Default PlayStation 3 Production Costs Cut in Half Since Launch

While this doesn’t have any immediate impact on gamers, as the production costs on the system decrease, Sony is then allowed the flexibility to lower the system’s retail price. Nothing is imminent, but given some time, we’ll definitely be seeing at least one price cut on the system in 2008.
My guess? We see a $300 PS3 by the end of the year.

The next PS3 wont play Blu-Ray Movies, just games, so it'll only be $200...........which is £100, but we'll be paying £250 probably

Arg, im sick of everyone releasing different models of stuff. I understand that its because some people can only afford the cheaper models but theres already 4 different ps3 models and 3 xbox models with a new one to be released. Staying on topic though, if you cant afford a ps3 by now, you seriously dont deserve to have one. I mean £300 for the 40 gb and 2 games brand new, thats pretty sweet except you cant play ps2 games, which i dont anyway but depends who you are. I got ripped off just so i could have it on launch day.
