"Analysts were told that some PS3 microchip costs are rising."
ok, they are in PRODUCTION now, and costs are RISING.
why? what does this tell us?
personally i doubt sony would be stupid enough to charge more than $500/$600 for the PS3 to recoup cell chip costs, its more likely they would make a greater loss on each console. sucks for them...

"We might see valuation losses of a size that we cannot laugh away in the quarter," Yuhara stated.
maybe they can drink it away
know whats a joke?

fits the PS3!
get a nice big bravia, they are great!
Well, its going to be a great game. Bungie really know what they are doing, and they have the whole xbox community watching them.
Personally, i would love to see what they could do with a RPG or sandbox style game... That would be interesting...
i think the cost of PS3's are the last thing on the mind of people in Israel...
so which is it?
on or above?
i hope they don't rush their best game and ruin it... MGS4 should get all the time it needs
1030 comments later and motorstorm still looks like a lame PS2 port.

"I don't want to reveal any plans at the moment because we want to keep a number of surprises up our sleeve," he told the magazine. "We will ensure we are good value, and we'll do that through having a variety of pricing on games, a variety of pricing on console offers."
its going to be a new bundle, not a price cut...
gears...?
