    Tending The Rumor Mill

    Today Ars Technica is reporting rumors of a supposed price drop for the PS3. The source of these rumors? A mysterious insider, slipping them tidbits like a thief in the night. I envision some kind of secret drop checked daily by a nervous Ars Technica intern.

    Nervous interns aside, Ars Technica claims a good track record when it comes to mole produced rumors. The PS3 is potentially dropping to a price of $399, the price itself being speculation only slightly substantiated by Sony's FCC filing for a new model of PS3. Considering the previous drop in price to $499 and the holiday season being right around the corner a $399 price tag on the PS3 seems a reasonable assumption to make. Now the only question is whether this price drop will kick the legs out from under what could potentially be the final stumbling block keeping the PS3 from being a real contender in the console wars.

    I hope this is true. The PS3 is finally getting some games that make me want the system, but it is still not quite there. A price drop might just be enough to get me to buy one.
