I wouldn't expect a price cut anytime soon, what I would expect is bi-annual improvements (ei: larger HD, extra controllers, eye tracking thing-a-ma-bob).

The only reason why it costs so much is stated in the article, they're waiting for the price of manufacturing to go down.

I know plenty of people are waiting for the 360 and PS3 prices to drop significantly before they buy it. Sony should not have put in Blu-Ray in the PS3. It just cost too much.

It grills the meats evenly on both sides while unwanted fats and oils are removed by a gentle slope. Notice the wide variety of meats and vegetables it accommodates. Surely worthy of Kutaragi himself. Have you no respect Bryant? It grills the meats evenly on both sides while unwanted fats and oils are removed by a gentle slope.

There's been enough ps3 coverage over the last few days that another press pic would be absolutely boring. I still play my ps2, so I know what kuta brought to the table. How am I being negative?

I hope Blu-Ray is a success so they can pull themselves out of a rut of bad publicity (need I mention slaughtered goats?) Yes, Mark, the technology is becoming cheaper and easier to manufacture which should mean BR will be pulling further ahead of HD-DVD soon.

And not only just cheaper PS3s, that'll mean cheaper Blu-ray players and Blue-ray drives as well right? Sweet.
