Sat, 07 Jul 2007 23:48:26 +0000 http://www.krunker.com/2007/07/07/no-ps3-price-cut-in-the-near-future/#comment-85856 [...] Rumors are circulating around the Internet that the retail price for the Sony PlayStation 3 will indeed be cut to $499 from $599. This all started when a Circuit City ad for July 15th was posted onto the net showing a price cut of $100 on the PS3. GameDaily BIZ then confirmed through their sources that the price cut was indeed retail wide and would begin on July 12th. Ads for the price cut should begin showing up on July 15th. No word from Sony as of yet but this is contradictory to what Sony President, Ryoji Chubachi, had stated on Friday - claiming that there would not be a PS3 price cut. It’ll be interesting to see Microsoft’s response should the price cut happen. Could we see a small next gen price war?

The rumor was based on a new Circuit City advertisement that’s been making the rounds on the Internet showing the next generation console selling for $499 - $100 dollars less than the normal price of $599. It wasn’t initially clear whether this was just a specific to Circuit City or whether this was retail-wide but GameDaily BIZ is reporting that a source has confirmed that the price drop is indeed retail wide. Supposedly, the price drop to $499 will occur on July 12th although you won’t see ads for this until July 15th. We’ll believe it when we actually see it but that ad above sure is convincing.
