thats probably a misstake... Sony have already said that the PS3 will be expensive, so if it the cost was that low, gaming-sites would mention it

i have a feeling sony is just saying that since the xbox is coming out first they just want microsoft to feel comforatable selling it at a higher price.....so when the acctual ps2 is released it will be a competetive price..

you'll be waiting awhile. when consoles first come out, you can find them 50 - 100% higher priced on ebay

Doesn't look like much of a mistake with all that info Amazon put out.. and games-sites have already mentioned it. Amazon cred >> Game-sites cred.
If you pre-order from Amazon, they can not raise the price when it drops.

RUMOR #1: Like the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 has been dual-priced... at $299 and 399 Euros!

Source: International retail combo of Amazon.com's US site by way of Engadget, and Amazon.com's French site.

The official story: : "We haven't made any announcements regarding price point for PS3."--Sony spokesperson.

What we heard: The Xbox 360's price was announced on Wednesday, meaning it must be time to divert all attention to the pricing of the PS3. One of the first Stateside sightings came courtesy of the eagle-eyed inspectors at Engadget, who caught Amazon.com with a listing for the console at $299 (but don't go calling it the "Core System" yet). The price has since been removed from the page, but not before Engadget grabbed a screenshot. The curious thing about the price listing? There's no disclaimer of "price subject to change" immediately near the sales figure. Not to be outdone, Amazon's French Web site lists the PS3 (see picture #1) for $399 Euros ($485). With projections of the PlayStation 3 as the most expensive of the three next-gen consoles, this price seems a bit more on target. BUT, there is a disclaimer, in French, that the price is not finalized. It didn't stop the site from offering to sell both the Xbox 360 and PS3 together for the low, low price of 699.98 Euros ($851)! Never mind that the figure is simply the sum of both consoles' prices. How do you say rip-off in French?

Bogus or not bogus?: Sony's comment works for us. C'est Bogus
