Visitors at the Tokyo Game Show 2006 take photos of Sony's PlayStation 3 video game console on the opening day in Makuhari, east of Tokyo, Friday, Sept. 22, 2006. Sony Corp. slashed the price of its current PlayStation 3 by $100, or 16.7 percent, and introduced a high-capacity model in an effort to spur sales of the struggling video game console. Starting Monday, July 9, 2007, the current 60 gigabyte model will cost $499, down from $599. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara)

Can I just toot my own horn and say I called this a month and a half ago

Quoting myself on 05.22.2007:

Sony has "No plans" to release a competent statement regarding the PS3.

Don't feed us that "no plans" and don't not offer an 80 gig in the US and UK.

Here's what Sony needs to do, just say "no comment" and then give us the 80gig for $600 and drop the price on the 60gig model.

They are going to need to drop the price sooner rather than later and this way they will have a reasonable excuse to do so.

I want a PS3 but said to myself I will wait 12 months from release. Pleased to see the price dropping so it should be cheaper again when I come to get one.
