Sony will announce a PlayStation 3 price drop during Gamescom in August, according to a report.
Trade insiders are expecting a cut that could see the PS3 be priced at 199.99 GBP ($319) in the United Kingdom, according to MCV. That's obviously more than the PS3 currently retails for in the United States, and it's unclear if the price drop would only be for Europe or if the price would be slashed worldwide.
The most recent PS3 price cut came alongside the announcement of the PlayStation 3 Slim in August 2009. The cheapest new PS3 is the 160GB model that retails for $299.99 in the U.S. (A limited time Call of Duty: Black Ops bundle is now available for the same price and includes the game and a free map pack.)
