Since it doesn't come out until the end of the year.... no surprise
that "no one has even seen" yet.

"Rumours" being the key word.

"According to SCEE corporate communications director Nick Sharples,
Mr. Fornay's comments during a recent radio interview were, in fact, a
"mistranslation or misunderstanding of the discussion, which was
actually focused on the relative value of PS3 as a Blu-ray Disc
player." Mr. Sharples clarifies that "at no time did he suggest or
indicate a specific price point or price range for PS3, and any
reports that he did so are incorrect.""
