Sony has no plans to cut the price of the PS3 in Europe or Asia following the US price cut, according to the company's president Ryoji Chubachi.
Chubachi clarified Sony's current stance with regards to pricing while Speaking to Bloomberg, saying Sony doesn't plan to cut the console's price "at this point." When pressed further, he said, "About the future, no comment".
Of course, earlier in the month Chubachi said that Sony had no plans for a price cut "at present". Three days later, the US price cut was announced, dropping the 60Gb configuration of the PS3 by $100. Clearly, this is a man for whom the present is very short-lived.
If Chubachi's comments do extend beyond the immediate present, however, they put the kibosh on recent rumours that Sony will announce a PS3 price cut at Leipzig.

what i find funny about the designs of all the new consoles is storage,
PS3: Grill Shape Super Computer: cant not place anything atop it or it will wobble a bit and fall off
360: Very Stackable: place anything atop or below, errrr, but then it overheats and gives red rings of death!
Wii: Safest To Stack: Yep this little Beaut will allow anything ontop or below with out issues, but its so darn small that i needs to go on top of everything
Conclusion: each one requires its own bloody shelf!, unless of course you stand then upright but then it will look like GAME in your house

Unlike the 360 of course, which IS a George Foreman grill.

how about putting this extra stowage UNDER your PS3? Its perfectly flat on the undersidePS3: Grill Shape Super Computer: cant not place anything atop it or it will wobble a bit and fall off
Better still, why not stick a bigger harddrive INSIDE the PS3? Now there's an idea!

i wasnt talking hd storage i was talking cabinet storage, and yes everything will go under the console but if you have a 360 wii and ps3 then you need each one seperate! as wii too small to put under, 360 will blow up, and nothing can go on top of the ps3,
better still why doesnt someone create and new casing to house, a ps3 xbox and wii all together, and make it sqare with some really good fans in ther lol
