The rumour that Sony will dramatically cut the price of the Playstation 2 in order to put a dent in the success of Microsoft's Xbox 360 has made a return with a new article on CNN/Money.Author Peter Lewis finished up an analysis of the XBox 360's threat to Sony by suggesting that Sony might cut the PS2's price to as low as $100 to make the $400 Xbox 360 seem "less attractive".
This would be great news for gamers, and Sony still has time to announce a price-cut before the Christmas season arrives, but at the moment it appears unlikely this will happen - back in August, Sony's U.K. chief Ray Maguire revealed the company were pushing to try and reduce the cost of manufacturing the console, but insisted that a price-cut was not on the cards before Christmas.
