It's Your Turn PS3! 
March 31, 2009
Playstation 2 tooted its horn today about lowering the price of its console to a cool $100. 
Now I'm not saying PS3 has to go that low, but I think it's due for some sort of price cut, especially considering the current state of the economy.
If we are going to get serious about Blu-ray really taking off, consumers need a harder kick in the pants to buy a player.  
The set-tops are getting reasonable - where you can stream Netflix content on certain models for under $300. But what if you could play games, stream movies/TV shows (through Playstation Store) AND watch Blu-ray discs for about that same amount? Now we're talking, right? That's one seriously great machine that definitely would give the Wii and the Xbox 360 a serious run for their money.
PS3 has long been rumored to be close to taking that $100 price chop down to $299. I say the sooner the better.  I have a feeling that the news is coming - the question is when. I'll bet it may be near the key holiday shopping period....or possibly around the upcoming E3 show.
