Sony has denied the rumor, but they can't come out and say "Yes, we'll be dropping the price by $100, but please still go out and pay 399 for the PS3 this week." I think there's a big possibility of this happening, since their manufactoring costs have gone way down (65nm Cell, no backwards compatibility, cheaper blue laser diodes and Warner almost deciding the HD war have something to do with it), I think it would be stupid for Sony not to "share" that with their customers. It would also put them in direct competition with the Wii, as far as price is concerned. Of course there's also a possibility that this is just a rumor and will not happen yet. But the White PS3 has been already filed by the Sony to the FCC and this "rumor" was first reported by slickdeals.net and cheapassgamer.com, the two websites that reported the last PS3 price drop a month or so in advance, as well as the X360 price drop well in advance. So...
Considering I'm thinking of getting one with my tax return money (assuming I have enough after buying out my Sprint contract), this is great news. I don't know if I'd get a white one though, I'd kind of like to vary it up since the Wii and 360 (I own both) are each white.

I would get White to match my 360 and Wii. But I'm not looking at getting a PS3 for ome time. a year or so i might purchase one.
It would be kinda cool....but I need color variation on occasion. And the reason I want it is pretty simple Metal Gear Solid 4. The game looks incredible and I want it in a bad way, and the only way I can do this is by getting a PS3.

The PS3 has got me a bit interested, but I'm barely buying 360 games, so it's out of the question anyway.

Haven't decided which way to go yet.</div> in my opinion it isn't that close. 360 has some better games I admit, but the PS3 offer free internet play and a blu-ray player built in. If the price drop comes true, there is no reason you should be getting a xbox 360
PS3, better graphics, built in HD DVD player also. X360, better processing power, better games, can buy HD DVD player to fit in, I think.
