PS3 price possibly dropping to $500 USD on July 15th
Ever since the PS3 price of $600 USD was announced, critics have felt that a price drop was all but necessary. There is a pre-release flyer circling the bowels of the internet with an interesting rumor: a $500 PS3 the week of July 15th. At first, Sony merely scoffed at the $500 PS3, putting it down as just another rumor. However, once this "rumor" became pixelated, Sony was caught flat-footed, and did not have any comment on this situation.
Even if this price drop is legitimate, it could just be a simple Circuit City exclusive sale, and will end the following Sunday. The only thing we can really do is wait until July 15th for the $500 PS3. Regardless of whether or not the flyer is legitimate, you can read it below.

Sony should just take the huge cut and drop to $450 or $400, that would make it extremely competetive to the x360, and easier to get into living rooms. I remember reading somewhere that even at $600 they were losing money on the system, but in a couple of years manufacturing processes will help them with that anyways. Still that'd be cool if their prices do start dropping. :toast:
EDIT: It was £425 with one "FREE" game! Thats still $850!
It would also screw up the prices of the BLu-ray drives that costs a ton.
