If this happens I think I will be buying one for sure.
"This iSuppli report was released on January 5, but recent speculation of a Playstation 3 price drop in April makes it worth another look. This week, Wedbush Morgan game industry analyst Michael Pachter -- a widely quoted figure among journalists -- said Sony will cut the Playstation 3's price by $100 in April, to $299. That means Sony would take a loss of $149.73 for every console sold if iSuppli's figures are accurate.
Later, Pachter told TheGameReviews (disclosure: I edit the news section there) that Sony can reclaim about $250 per console on game and Blu-ray disc sales, so it's worth it for them to take a $100 dollar loss up front. Presumably, the same would be true for a loss of roughly $150."
