Rumor: Sony Getting 'More Competitive in Price' After March, Shows Uncharted 2 and God of War 3
by Chris Faylor, Nov 24, 2008 8:57am PSTSony Computer Entertainment Europe will be getting "more competitive in price from March 2009 onwards," according to a new rumor that apparently stems from an internal Sony Europe briefing.
Citing an anonymous source named Legends, D+Pad further noted that an unannounced sequel to Naughty Dog's PlayStation 3 game Uncharted was shown in trailer form, alongside Guerrilla's Killzone 2 and SCE Santa Monica's God of War 3.
The Uncharted 2 footage supposedly had an Aztec theme to it, with the source noting it "looks the same as Uncharted 1, no bad thing."
The report also claimed that the PS3 has a larger installed base in Europe than the Xbox 360, and stated that LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm are coming to PSP.
While the report could be a collection of existing or obvious rumors, God of War creator David Jaffe has seemingly lent credence to at least one aspect. On his blog, Jaffe revealed that God of War 3 is in presentable form, as he saw it last week while in Santa Monica, though he has no involvement in its development.
"HOLY HOLY HOLY FUCKING HELL!!!!," Jaffe wrote of the sequel, noting his previous belief that his personal GOTY Gears of War 2 "looked about as good as a next-gen game could look." He added, "Dudes and dudettes, fucking WAIT till you see the amazing graphics...just fucking wait."
When reached for comment on the report, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe stated that "information discussed within the confines of internal company meetings is confidential and subject to change," further clarifying that "we do not have anything to announce at present and we do not comment on rumour and speculation."
Sony has repeatedly denied plans that it will drop the price of the PlayStation 3 in 2008, recently telling VideoGamer that it "has a business to run" and has to "do the right thing" for shareholders.

If that's even true (and it's a horrible leak if it is) then by that point I'm sure MS could match it.
maybe $399.99 with a game, hdmi cable, 160gb, ps3 headset and...a sticker or something cool maybe different color ps3
The PS3 trophy system has Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze...i'd like to see them sell packages like that similar to how Xbox 360 has Elite, Pro, Arcade
