PS3 Price Drop?

Many of you may have noticed some buzz regarding a potential PS3 price drop right in time for the holidays this year. Ars Technica states that in an interview with Sony CEO Howard Stringer, he said that the difference between the Wii and PS3 sales lies mainly in the price difference. He then proceeded to say that they'll come up with an answer to that problem by Christmas. Due the recent end of the blue-violet laser diode shortage which apparently frees up about $100 in overhead, it seems likely that the price may came down some, but perhaps not the whole $100 off.
