    Of course it is - because if it actually said "in a month, we will cut the price", then anybody that's actually planning on buying a PS3 (if any of them actually exist) will just wait a month to buy it.

    So price cut or no price cut, this is the best strategy.

    Take the blue ray player out and offer one for $399. I'd buy it. Some of us care more about games than movies.

    @dhechler: Sounds like Sony backed themselves into a corner on this one.

    Indeed. Sony has some serious issues with keeping people informed and telling them what not to say. I think they'll cut the price. I think (to Sony) right now the PS 3 is the "big guns" in the format war. They gotta get these Blu Ray things in homes and the easiest way is through the PS3. This is all aligned with all the majors "rule the living room" portal strategy.

    Frankly, I'm waiting for one format to emerge a clear winner and a really great game like (Hopefully) Metal Gear Solid.....
