According to a D+Pad report citing "insider sources", Sony has plans to cut the price of the PlayStation 3 console this upcoming March, in an effort to be "more competitive."
Sony Europe has so far dismissed the rumor as "rumor and speculation," but Europe president David Reeves is quoted as saying there will be "technical innovations" coming to both the PS3 and the handheld PSP.
The same source claims to have seen game footage of both Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 on the PlayStation 3 as well as gameplay for LittleBigPlanet, on the PSP. The insider added that studio Media Molecule has been working on the handheld port for four months.
Although dismissed as rumor for now, a price reduction in time for the Easter holiday is not all that far-fetched and has happened many times in the past with consoles.
