Samsung: Sony set to slash prices on TVs & PlayStations

In a desperate move to shift stock Sony is set to slash the price of Sony Bravia TV's, Blu ray players and their Sony Playstation consoles according to a senior executive inside a major retail partner of Sony. The move could spark a retail war said one observer.

Known for price gouging, the move comes as Sony struggles up against a surging Samsung and tough competition from both LG and Panasonic, who in past months have started to take market share away from Sony in the digital camera and handycam market as well as the all important TV market.

The news that Sony is set to slash prices has already leaked out to their competitors, with Mark Leathan the marketing manager of Samsung's consumer electronics division confirming that they have also been told that Sony is set to make savage price cuts.

[DasBunker]

isnt that what MS said like months ago just so people wait and wouldnt buy a PS3? isnt samsung in direct competition with sony on the HDTV market (and others)? ill believe it when i see it... we all know its coming anyway

[Trollimite]

ive been hearing about a price cut from every one!

an d we all know how bad the leaks are over at sony!

[heroicjanitor]

Are you sure the price cuts aren't strategic? They are definitely desperate? Ok then.

[The_Beast]

then guess whos getting a new bravia

[Dread]

hey Dasbunker

do you have any proof that MS said that, or are u just defending Sony by giving the false impression that Sony is a victim. (a common tactic of the SDF)

[RollingOnNubz]

http://playstation.joystiq....

Try again, nublet.

[Maddens Raiders]

lol - do you have any proof that they ((didn't))...?

Typical fan that can't admit failure in relation to the company it defends, failure to face reality in an age of Blu-ray and dirty tactics (a common fault of xboxqueens.com & aaron greenberg)

[leila01]

Why does every thread have to turn into a console war?

On topic:
This is VERY good for consumers: if Sony cuts prices, then Microsoft, Panasonic, Samsung... will follow as well! This is why competition is a good thing folks.

[DasBunker]

i have nothing to say... youve been owned already..

its a common tactic... spread the rumour the competition is having a price cut so you minimize potential purchases from customers who are craving for a cheaper item.. jeez some people just dont understand not everything is about the stupid console wars and the fanboys said that or did that thing.. this is a bussiness first for all!

[evrfighter]

Samsung's in a position to say these things to make Sony look bad even if they are just talkin out the cheeks.

People see this, save some cash, Wait for a price cut if Sony doesn't cut prices guess what brand of TV people will most likely buy. If there is a price cut Samsung will most likely slash a little off the top also.

Samsungs been givin it to Sony without the K-Y when it comes to sellin TV's. Smart move.

[Dread]

@madden raiders

how do you prove a negative?

@dasbunker

see my post 4.7

@rollingonnubletz

thx for the link to a playstation cite. and besides i meant if you have proof that MS did that as a tactic to affect Sony sales.

peace

[RememberThe357]

Of course they're going to cut prices, they need to increase sales. That is basic economics. The question that sill stands is about timing. and how it fits into their strategy.

[JD_Shadow]

Do you ever get the feeling that some people just stop TRYING?

Dread, you're statements hold no water. The "site" (not "cite") QUOTED MICROSOFT! You can't exactly go wrong with exact quotes.

Oh, and maybe it IS "that easy", since I can name a LOT of people that would buy a PS3 if it was cheaper.

[shocky16]

Desperate.

[The Wood]

Hypocrite

i mean its ok for MS to be cheaper than the wii riiiight

[kewlkat007]

Well the first post started it, obviously.

Plus, SAMSUNG > Sony when it comes to LCDs and cheaper. Everyone is caught up to Sony.

Go over to the AV Forums and read up on the best Tvs. You need to get in touch with Audio/Video afficiatos so you can make the right purchase.

Anyhow, not only MS but everyone is been saying it, now SAMSUMG, the #1 LCD brand. It's just business, I see cut.

http://www.reuters.com/arti...

[nycredude]

Since when do we start believing other companies when they talk about their direct competition? I would think that Sony would know what they are planning to do more than Samsung...

What's next Samsung to release Sony's 2009 2nd quarter results?

Samsung: Don't trust SOny's results cause word has reached us that these are the actual numbers. It looks like the Korean and the American companies got in bed together and devised a plan go up against the Japanese company.

[N4g_null]

To every one that doesn't believe this. Look at this.

Sony has wrestled down build costs for the console by about 70 percent, Sony CFO Nobuyuki Oneda said in an earnings call this week.

"The cost reductions since we introduced the PS3 are very substantial, and on schedule," the exec said, as reported by consumer site GameSpot. "We don't disclose how much of the PS3 cost reduction was specifically achieved during the past two years. But that is on schedule."

He continued, saying "roughly speaking", Sony has reduced the cost to build the console by "about 70 percent."

Now if a PS3 cost 240 to make now and they still try to sell it at 400-500 then don't expect them to sell any more of them period LOL. One year of selling the console at that cost would give the a 70% increase in profits LOL. SONY would be fine but it's too late now the cat is out of the bag. Oh well? Hey but at least their will be more consoles yet now the problem is how well are these sucker built?

[nostalgic_noob]

The Obsolete 360 has started.

[Shadow Man]

Or maybe 2012 maybe...

A possible ps3 price drop won't kill the 360 kid.
Xbox360 would have to stop selling for the ps3 to beat 360 numbers, and that ain't gonna happen.

Admit defeat now, it would make things a lot easier.

[The_Beast]

are you stupid, it can catch up b4 this gen is over unless if ms does this

"oh sht their catching up, lets announce this gen is over!! for xbox 360"

[lloyd_wonder]

Lol. The 360 already doesn't sell in one of the biggest markets, Japan. Sony is going to rape Microsoft in Japan with a price cut.

[presto717]

Thats when M$ will rush to the market and release a new xobx early.

I really dont know what you 360 fanboys keep telling yourselves just so you keep living in denial.

Can you argue that 1 disk isnt better than having to swap 4?
Can you argue that the PS3's lineup for this year isnt better than the 360's?
Can you argue that the ps3's hardware isnt better than the 360's?
Do you still think the ps3 is more expensive in the long run?
Can you argue that MS wasnt wrong to rush to the market and release a console with such a high failure rate?
Can you argue that the 360 doesnt scratch disks?

I'm not saying that you should LOVE the ps3. No. That'll be too much to ask. But at least look at things objectively.

[user3915800]

Fantards here is one hope for you, now-now get on your knees, now you see it? Stop it dont look there thats not what I meant for you to do, now concentrate, thats right its the flopstation looking for fantards like yourself except that most dummys already bought into it.

Loosers will always be the first to bite and you were one of them, so STFU and learn how bus its conducted like the most professional company in the world MS and there is none like it.

They are dropping the price because they are not making profits, not because they care for you fantards. What do you think its going to happened jack @ss, they will continue to bleed blu g@y blood from right up their plastic God.

Sony its the worst company in the market coming from Japan. Fantards I wish you luck and fake hope, for you need the PS3 pink dildo to give you a lift.

@ Tinted Eyes buy it for reliability, are you 12 or 13?
People will always said the dumbest thing, did you know that the 360 are in par with wii in reliability since SEPT. 08 as the most reliable console? No? Well then look it up @ consummers report.org and surprise your ignorant mind, just like most of this fandroids.

The lowest IQ in the world comes from the PS3 community (Fact). Look out here comes another droid.

@ Jason 360 you really are an intelligent being unlike the manys below you, an individual with high IQ its one that its not only able to understand the task at hand, but its able to have the wisdom to make it better, thats were all of this fandroids fall short from grace, they dont have an opened mind and dont know how deep its sony giving it to them, but still wanted for they Praised their black plastic god.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Droids are so desperate to get out of last place, even though they been there for nearly 3yrs. Time to go to the holy Sony wishing well and throw in some magic coins, pray to the fairy princess so she can come and sprinkle pixie dust on Sony.

[blackbeld]

360 almost selling nothing........ even if they go sell it for $99,- they're user base will stick at 30 million sales world wide!!! It's impossible for Microsoft to sell over 30 million 360's....

On the other hand... PS3 will sell over 200 million unit's when the price dropped to $199,- Mark my words bots.... I repeat MARK MY WORDS BOTS!!!!

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

"Sony is set to make savage price cuts"??? Er???
+
"In a desperate move to shift stock"??? Erm???

Hmm...It looks like any D!CKHEAD can get a Job on these internet sites!!! ;-D
I think he has been reading n4g.com and that Mart site to much!!! ;-D

+ I spend a few Pounds more on SONY stuff because i KNOW it's QUALITY stuff!!! I don't want them to be like Micro$oft selling Unreliable Cheap SH!T!!! ;-D

+ A PS3 Price cut will come, ChatBox 360 will SINK like the Titanic...

[Ninver]

Ps3 price cut = mass market console dominace.

Mark my words.

[Shadow Man]

is to late! No way the ps3 can reach the 360 numbers it would have sale 7.5 million units more, and that not possible because the 360 will still be growing. The only way is to release the ps4 a year before xbox720.

[presto717]

3 years in and you already think this gen is over?

Think again. Sony's just getting started.

[The_Beast]

sorry bots. ps3 has a 10 year life cycle unlike the shtty xbx

[rhood022]

I'm just waiting for the price cut so we can get articles like:

"Sony's Desperate Attempt to _____"

"Sony finally caving on overpriced PS3."

"How will this price cut affect Sony's future?"

and so on.

And the irony will be that those writing these articles will be the same ones pleading with Sony for a price cut.

[Marceles]

Once I saw "in a desperate move" I thought the same thing lol...they'll come in full force too.

"Price cut by Sony too soon?"
"Sony admitting defeat?"

I hate the ones with good titles that nose bomb at the end too.

"Sony makes record sales with price cut, but does it matter?"

[joydestroy]

lol both so true

[ultimolu]

As usual...

The over-exaggeration just cracks me up most of the time.

[thereapersson]

Is that I can envision them ALL coming true at some point or another.

:/

[creeping judas]

LOL

I remember the articles from mid 2008 when MS announced their price reduction. And every article was all about how desperate MS was in having to reduce their price.

Oh good times.

[cmrbe]

We will also get

"Sony drop price but is it too late?" articles, always the question mark.

@creeping. That's because it was for MS. The x360 was already cheaper than the PS3 but it was getting outsold by the PS3 back then. Even now with that price cut it only managed to outsell the PS3 by just 100k units this 1/4. Its desperate because cutting your price again when your are already cheap to outsell the more expensive competitor is in fact desperate.

[A_Little_Girl]

let the fanboys makes those redicoulus article, they are only advertising for sony for free. hah!

[rhood022]

@creeping

The difference is that MS had three price cuts over the span of 14 months.

1. August 2007
2. July 2008
3. Sept 2008

The last two within 3 months of each other. And, up until the last one, the PS3 was outselling the 360 on a YTD basis.

[lordgodalming]

The first line isn't even the worst. How about saying that Sony is "Known for price gouging"? Here's another good one, "Consumers are aware that Sony products are expensive." And finally a quote from a Harvey Norman franchisee (Harvey Norman?): "Sony has a problem, but discounting isn't the answer."

So in short, this article tells us that Sony's products are so expensive that their prices could be considered price gouging, but lowering their prices is desperate AND it won't work. This makes me sick.

[creeping judas]

WOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!

Hold on guys, with your stats and sh*t!!!

I was only reminiscing about the olden days. No need to hit me up with stats, I don't care!!

But thanks for trying, it was still a good time back then. And I miss those times.

[raztad]

@cmrb

I'm sure that will happen again. I mean, 300$ PS3 will outsell xbox360 EASILY, no doubts about it. I'm waiting for MS to cut xbox price again all across the board. A 99$ xbox360 is something hard to resist, I wont.

[cmrbe]

It took Sony 9 years to get the PS2 down to 99. Its hard to imagine MS cutting the x360 price down to 99 within 4 years on the market.

The problem with the PS3 is that it is priced outside of what mass consumers are willing to spend on what they see as just a gaming console. This is why a PS3 price cut would be more effective than a x360 price cut to $150 or $120. A cut from 199 to 159 is not that big of a deal imo as 199 is already affordable to many. However, cutting your price from 399 to 299 is big. This is why the industry is asking Sony and not MS to drop their price. They have been speculating and asking for it for 2 years now.

Currently the x360 is affordable and the PS3 is not. Once the PS3 is affordable any price cut the x360 makes won't matter much in terms of competition between the two. Also lets not forget that the PS3 is more feature packed.

[raztad]

@cmrb

I tried to be brief, but I guess I wasnt clear enough with my previous comment. I know it's really steep for MS to cut down the price of x360 to 99$, that would put xbox business again in RED. However those guys at MS dont work according to plan, they just follow suit, so if Ps3 outsells xbox360 again a desperate act probably will follow.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Actually, I remember MS mention the price point for mass adoption is $150, not $200.

The $100 price cut on a PS3 will stimulate some sales, but if history has a say until you hit the $200 mark it doesn't seem like the cut has a long tail. For even MS, I don't think their sales will take off until their PRO sku (most sold of all three models) hit sub $200.

Casual gamers are buying the Wii! Hardcore gamers buy the 360 Pro and the PS3. That is why MS and Sony seems to always be neck in neck in sales.

[cmrbe]

has always been $199. Both the PS1 and PS2 sales only started to sell really well when they hit that price. That was the price point when both consoles sold the most units.

This gen i don't think it will go down to 150 if anything it should go up if we factor in inflation. The x360 is at 199. This is what mass consumers see. Its cheaper than the wii. Mass consumers generally don't care about extra features the other SKU's have, most only care about price point and weather its affordable to them. $199 is that number. This is why no one is asking from a x360 price drop.

We shall see what happens. In any case. Even if MS drops the price of the x360 in response to a PS3 price cut it will still not matter much as the price gap will still close up between the two. As i said before, once the PS3 is affordable to mass consumers it will not matter much if MS drop their price.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

It's ok 360 kids.We all know you want to play PS3's true Next-gen, cinema quality games.At least your parents can afford one for you soon.

[coolirisGB]

Losing your mind cahill? calm down LLoyd it's not good for your health Greywulf.

[dirthurts]

should have came a long time ago. I'd be happy to see it come now. But I'm somewhat doubtful that it will.
Times are competitive though. Their reputation alone can not really save them in these financial times.

[Menchi]

It's always your competition who tells your customers when you're having a price cut.

It's very dirty business, even if it is true, because it's basically saying... "Don't buy now, wait for the price drop"

[ultimolu]

I agree with that.
That's what hurts sales the most.

Dread: You need to calm down okay? He was talking about Samsung, not Microsoft. What does the "Sony Defense Force" have to do with this? Do 360 fanboys always do this? Why do you guys play follow the leader? You hear one person with this phrase and you have to use it too?

Good grief man, grow up.

[Dread]

whats to stop Sony from doing the same thing?

do you think that these companys are just saying it without any evidence whatsoever. Is it a conspiracy?

in the sony defense force world everyone is always against poor old Sony.

[Menchi]

I don't think I actually implied that Sony didn't do it, nor did I imply that Sony are being victimized.

What I did state, is that this a dirty business practice from competitors, who are essentially saying to the consumers; "Don't buy now, wait for the price cut"

Do you disagree with that point? If so, then I think you need to wake up.

Also, this could relate to any object of value, in a heavily competitive market. This isn't solely applicable to consoles, or TVs

[RollingOnNubz]

It really doesn't take a moron to see that telling the consumer that your competitions products will be getting a pricecut soon = consumers waiting on that pricecut, which in turn will cut into the sales of the products in the mean time.

Typical XDF.

[leila01]

I agree with both of you Ulti and Menchi, that's how business works; it's dirty tactics but it's business.

Dread and Roling, both of you should just stay in the Open Zone

[RollingOnNubz]

Yea, the XDF was uncalled for I know. I've just got a mondo headache right now and not much in the mood for trolls.

[Dread]

hey of course i agree that it is a dirty business, and that if one states publicly that another company plans to do a price cut it could affect sales.

but i am questioning if it is in fact what they are doing now. Do you think that they randomly decided that this is the time to say Sony is going to do a price cut, or is there evidence that truly suggests that that is the plan.

If it was as simple as saying company x is going to do a price cut and presto! you affect the competition and you make a profit, then everyone would do it every month.

I just dont think it is that easy.

peace

[JD_Shadow]

While I could see your point if they only brought up televisions and stuff that they make, they brought up the Playstation, too. While they COULD be looking at it as BD player vs. BD player, I doubt that to be the case because the PS3 is also a game system, and that is something that Samsung doesn't have right now, and it would be foolish to try to compare to two by features alone.

I don't know about it being just a dirty tactic.

By the way, did anyone catch that LG guy's (Warren Kim) quote at the end of the article? He worried much?

[LordMarius]

Wow Samsung is a b*tch

[OtherWhiteMeat]

Wonder how many Xbox 360s are played on Sony televisions? Guess it doesn't matter a sale is a sale. I may support Sony by owning a PS3 but have a real nice Samsung 40" tv.

[creeping judas]

I play my ps3, 360, and Wii thru my Bravia series TV

[snoopgg]

They had the Samsung for $300 dollars cheaper, but I still would buy a Sony xbr over Samsungs tv anyday. I have had nothing but good times with my last 4 Sony tvs. They all still work flawlessly. Sony name on any tv stands for quality for me anyday of the week.

[SaberEdge]

Samsung and Sony make the best TVs. The competition between them is the best thing for us consumers.

[Yosking]

I just love going to electronics stores seeing all those tv's on the wall. Samsung had huge contrast ratio and vibrant color and Sony's crisp looked so real.

But Samsung was always 200-300 dollars cheaper. Kinda like Mac vs. PC

I wud take Sony tv over Samsung anyday, just like I would take Mac anyday over my pc, but the sad truth is im not stupid and now value when I see it.

[Pennywise]

Samsung TV's are not the best. They are nice, but hardly the best.

If you want to argue the point we will talk about my poor cousin who bought a beautiful Samsung only to have it replaced four times before screaming LEMON.

[The Wood]

made the best tvs. Their tvs that were manufactured last year are better than this years models....easily...just look into these eyes....yes thats pioneer

[callahan09]

I wouldn't know, but I have a Polaroid 720p television, and it provides a decent enough picture. But my neighbor just got a Samsung 1080p @ 120hz, and I must say, my TV looks like a relic in comparison, like a dinosaur from some by-gone-era of television where everything was muddy and gross. He's got one hell of a gorgeous picture on that TV! I dunno if any other 1080p @ 120hz is going to look better or the same or worse, but I'd damn sure like to have his TV. Everything just looks so much more vibrant and crystal clear compared to my old HD set.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

What are you talking about? Xbox360 sales have stopped selling.
at its current pricerange it doesnt sell much more than highend ps3's. with its small install base the ps3 games are hitting the top 10 games sold. That means alot of people on xbox360 install base stopped buying games, probly because of rrod of no warranty return.

All according to sony 's plan to change thier image to meet the peoples needs.

[shutupandplay]

If the ps3 recieves a price drop, I`ll gives sony`s sorry ass a sale out of pity.

[presto717]

And millions of 360 fanboys out there.

[Tinted Eyes]

ill think you will be buying it for the great games and reliability

face it the only reason you hate sony and the ps3 is the price

[xztence]

come on now admit it, you wanted one so bad but it was too expensive for you xbots.

[saimcheeda]

hes admitting he wants a ps3!

[Digitaldude]

Ill wait for an official Sony announcement, these price cuts rumor have been going on for too long.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

Because i dont have any : ) Xbutt motto.

I hate HDTVs & I hate Bluray.

because I dont have it.

I hate playstation 3 and psp.

Because I cant afford it : (

RAM MAGNUMS, The infamous MAGNUM-RAM the old socomer 1979 has a P$3, P$P, HDTV & BLURAY. RAM MAGNUMS LOVES MONEY : )

Jason 360, wow im arguing with a real life finacial planner. All those statistics and percentages. you must be a wiz kid. you did all that research yourself or did you go to xboxkings.com and just swallow it whole? You must be tired from checking every trailer in your neighborhood for a hdtv.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Did you know the majority of "ALL" console owners don't own HD tv's? Thats right pure fact, so if the PS3 is such an HD beast why is it then only about 35% own HD tv's? Oh thats right they are all broke after spending $600 on a movie player with 3 games :)

[NateDPG]

Desperate? It's about damn time, the PS3 didn't have a pricecut for like 2 years and is still very expensive when compared to other consoles. If anything desperate is the price collapse of the 360.

[v1c1ous]

Sony is charging a premium for a lot of their products based on name alone. yes their electronics are usually top of the line in quality, but in this economy people are looking for stuff that looks good, NOT AMAZING and costs an arm and a leg.

that's why Samsung is raping Sony in the tv department. samsung has found a sweet spot between quality and price.

LG is currently the up-and-comer by following the same strategy Samsung did in its early days to get their names into households, release quality products slightly underpriced to get popular.

[cmrbe]

Thats because that name carries alot of weight. I still have my Sony Walkman cassette player from 15 years ago.

[creeping judas]

Snickers!!!

"Thats because that name carries alot of weight. I still have my Sony Walkman cassette player from 15 years ago. "

Do you still have your Jordache jeans, and the sweat bands??

Sorry couldn't help it, back in the day I too had a sony walkman, and unfortunately jordache jeans and sweat bands?? : (

[mastiffchild]

The thing is Samsung TVs are pretty crap. Try ysing one on "game mode" that's over two years old-I did and it quickly fell apart only for Sammy to tell me you shouldn't play games on game mode(WTF?). So crap quality and misdirection--why should I believe a word the gts say esp about another company whose hardware has rarely been anything less than excellent?

That said my last Bravia wasn't great.

[interrergator]

o sh!t prepare for world war 3 between sony and samsung if this happens

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

Microsoft already made their desperate price cut for the 360, down to $199.99. Now, Sony just need to make their desperate price cut too. Which will proably cause Samsung to make their desperate price cut. And then all those desperate consumers will finally be able to afford 'the dream'

[cmrbe]

That's a nice dream.

[IntelligentAj]

Well if this is true then I guess i'm picking up a Bravia pretty fast

[FlipMode]

another sony related article is flooded by multiple account xbox faboys with nothing better to do

especially their halo wars stats getting wiped

and no games since 2008

probably mad their console sh!t

i mean 16%?!? lol 4 years and they can only cut it in half

lol my console just broke but hey it outsold the ps3!

xbox boys are comedy gold!

[infamous_27]

When I tell my X360 friends I have a PS3 they all say "Woo man, your lucky! Can I borrow it?"

Now the PS3may be getting a price drop, they get to play thePS3 too!

[callahan09]

Interesting.

A lot of my 360-owning friends aren't like that. They'll see a commercial - for instance - for a really nice looking PS3 exclusive and comment on how awesome the game looks, until the "Only on Playstation" logo pops up at the end of the commercial, then their tune changes: "Eh, that wasn't that cool, actually." Complete reversal of opinion just because they learn it's not on the system they own. It's psychological, in a way.

I was watching the newest episode of Penn & Teller yesterday, and they do an experiment. They had cut a banana in half and labeled one half "Organic" and the other half "Non-Organic" (in reality, it's two halves of the same non-organic banana). They had people taste test them and everyone would say about the one labeled non-organic: "Oh, this doesn't taste right, it doesn't have a good texture" and so on. Then they'd eat the one labeled organic and have these ridiculous taste-gasms, going on like: "Oh my god this tastes so good, the texture is just right, it's much better." When it was the same freaking banana! Judgment is clouded by biases like that.

[DevastationEve]

Callahan, you got it!

Why do fanboys exist if PS3 and Xbox 360 are both consoles? It shouldn't matter which side gets the game, just when I get to play it :)

(lands back on this foreign planet called reality)

[Blow Out Your Brains]

Lots of people are looking to upgrade, SONY should take advantage and cut their losses.

[interrergator]

if they do drop it ill buy another one for downstairs so my cuz dont have to in and mess up mine

[Satan The Gamer]

i Was actually going to buy a new HDtv with a sony digital camera so i guess i should hold my money a while longer . i really hope they cut the price.

[air1]

desperate times call for desperate acts..

guess what flip mode, they are still breaking and still out selling the ps3. lmfao. whats crazy too is that micro fixes them for free and is still making a profit. that must piss ppl like you and sony off..

edit at the guy below

no, like the price cut the ps3 had like 4 months after launch, forget about that? did you also know that the 360 held its original price longer? i mean a price cut like 3 years later who does that? not sony!

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Like M$ last year with their price cut?

Lawl, silly bot.Sony cut the price because the media was moaning about the price.

M$ cut the price because PS3 outsold 360 month after month after month.
All they could do was cut the price, cover their eyes and hope for the best.

Lucky for them they have adoring fanboys like you who prefer last gen tech and over priced accessesories.HD-DVD add on anyone? LMAO

[FlipMode]

ayyyyy good one

sony was nipping at their heels so they had to desperately drop it

to a piss p00r 200 bucks

and yet sonys still not far behind quarterly

next stop controller less 360! 150 bucks!

by the time

this war is over

the 360 will be 50 bucks......with live costing 10 bucks

[FlipMode]

guess what flip mode, they are still breaking and still out selling the ps3. lmfao. whats crazy too is that micro fixes them for free and is still making a profit. that must piss ppl like you and sony off..

oh no

air is getting heated

trying to prove a meaning less point

do the towel trick!

silly bot

[air1]

since when has the minority been so vocal and since when have they mattered?none of that changes the fact that the ps3 is, well, you know...

Bot seems to forget that the ps3 was outselling the 360 for a long period of time UNTIL the 360 had a big price cut. Not that I care about the sales, but just letting the sales bot know the truth.

Eh, Samsung's just jealous of Sony and trying to slow down their sales just like MS. And just like MS they'll fail. MS will leave the console market before Sony ever does.

[FACTUAL evidence]

Well, Sony is actually getting a price cut in the year 2000never.

If they do drop the price of the bravia i will be picking 1 up cause the 32 inch toshiba just doesn't cut it anymore. BTW I saw a bravia with a 5 year guarantee the other day, that sh!ts all over the £900 42" panasonic my parents bought which broke 1 month after the 1 year guarantee ended

DO IT! We need a retail war, it's a friggin recession. We need the stores fighting to get our business.
