Sony is denying the price drop story.

Sony denies PS3 price drop rumors of $299

Rumors of a PS3 price drop to $299 surfaced on Monday in connection with the newly confirmed white PS3.

Yeah, well - we can hope can't we? After all, Warner denied that they were dropping HD-DVD and then suddenly did! I guess we'll find out Sunday. I think it would be a good idea to drop the price by $100 but I suppose losing even more per unit doesn't thrill Sony too much.
