We're not even going to bother filing this in the rumor section. This one gets crumpled up and thrown directly into the "outbox"... the trashcan. Why? Because of the PS3Fanboy Rumor Rules of Thumb (PS3FBRRoT): anonymous sources, little known news source, and really-out-there claim preceded by an actual recent announcement. This NetMunch blog (http://netmunch.com/news/gaming/sony-set-to-drop-price-of-ps3-by-october.html) stinks of all three of these rumor debunking prerequisites.

First up, they claim that following the drop of the PSP's price (an actual recent announcement), sources say (anonymous sources) that the PS3 will get a price drop in October of $100 (really-out-there claim). While that would pit them directly agains the 360 Elite which has been taking a bit of a media beating in lieu of Sony for a little bit, that's a pretty large price cut for so soon into a console's life. Unless manufacturing costs have decreased dramatically and Sony starts pulling in a profit per console, we don't see this happening yet. At least, not $100. Maybe $50. What do you guys think?

Better happen sooner or later otherwise the PS3 will not sell like the Wii or the XBox 360.

They really can't afford to drop the price. Sony lost over a billion dollars in the past year, and they are losing money on every PS3 sold. And if the words of the wise Maddox cannot change your opinion of Sony: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=sony_bullshit
then nothing can.

Wow guys take a look at this. It is absolutely retarded and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be an insult but it's just not true. Not one person in this thread has said that they think this rumor is true. Anyways here's the retarded link: http://ps3.qj.net/Rumor-PS3-to-lower-by-price-by-US-100-by-October-/pg/49/aid/88777
They specifically say "While the folks posting stuff on DCEmu are a bit more welcoming of this rumor, the people over at PS3fanboy are a lot more skeptical."
