I think the most surprising part of this article is that 7-eleven sells PS3's.

I don't understand why 7-eleven is almost everywhere but the UK :(
Tis' sucks cos it's such a handy shop lol. Well, it is when I'm on holiday.

Anyway, this rumour is actually believable but.. I'd still understand if this rumour was just a lot of crap. There's no reason for Sony to cut their price, but it would boost sales and that's a fact.

I think that Sony will cut their price, eventually. Just like how the real profits in the DVD business is not in selling the player, but in selling the DVD's.

(Unless your Microsoft where their consoles conveniently breaks down and their hardcore fans (which would do anything for them) will go out and by a new 360. And now they have these huge console sales.)

I believe that Sony realize this and is waiting for more titles to come out for the PS3, before they start chiping away at the price of their console
