Ben-DutkaWell, there wasn't much in the way of huge announcements at the Game Developers Conference, although we did learn about the new Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time . However, it seems that Sony is preparing something significant for Tuesday, March 31.
According to Kotaku, that's the time when Sony will make a big announcement of some kind, and many would like to believe it's the much-rumored price cut. Then again, considering Sony's insistence that a price drop isn't coming any time soon, we're expecting something different; besides, why not just announce the price cut at the GDC? Why wait a few days? Another possibility is that Sony will be updating the PS3's web browser, which could be kinda cool and perhaps more plausible than a price drop. Kotaku suggested that the PS2 might drop to $99, which would make sense as PS2 sales have been on the steep decline as of late. The system has fared extremely well at the $129 price point for quite some time, but now may be the time to institute what could be the final retail price drop. We'd like to think it's software-related; that Sony might lift the lid on one of the new mysterious PS3 exclusives heading our way (maybe it's the one we know about…?), but that's just more speculation. What ideas do you have? What does Sony have in store for us next week?
If it is indeed a PS3 price cut, that'll make all the major headlines for the week. But even if it's something smaller and not quite so huge, we'll still tell ya about it. It's kinda what we do.
Same here, and it's impossible they gonna announce games, they always do that in E3, a possible update on the PSN or a new hardware for the PS3.
It could even be the rumoured PSP2 or something like that.
But if it's a price cut, you can expect some uproar in the gaming world especially Microsoft.
i call a price cut simple reason is the financial year ends march 1st so thats my reason for saying price cut.i could be wrong.
sorry my comment posted 2 times.

Gran Turismo 5 this fall!!!
I'm psyched anything they announce will be awesome
What if Sony's big annoucement turns out to be exactly that nothing. A BIG FAT ZERO! how cool would that be not that it is ever going to happen but say it did how would the world cope without it lol ?
As Scarecrow said it could be anything.
Bring it on! 🙂
yeah firmware update guaranteeeeeed
I dunno, it would have to do something special because many firmwares have come without requiring a "big announcement"
Firmware update was my theory too, especially considering all the rumors floating around about the next one.
maybe crossgame chat?
dun dun duurrrnnn
Maybe that secret exclusive?
or price-cuts for all platforms?
1. Firmware 2.70
2. Backward Compatibility
It has got to be the firmware update, although I thought that was supposed to be released this week as I read somewhere that a Sony employee at GDC said it would be coming the week of GDC. Idk? Better be good though because I'm going bananas over here! 😉
Well, thank god they didn't say it would be on April 1st!
Lol, do you hate April 1st? I love it >:)
I'm just saying it could've been a giant april fools joke otherwise.
They could say "Huge surprise tomorrow!" on the 31st and then be like "April fools!" on the 1st and do nothing. lol. Yes, that would make me want to put a gun to my head..
haha, never thought about that. It's that time of year again *sigh* lol. =)
Playstation is going to give me everything for free 😀 😀 lol
who knows. maybe new firmware update
Ohh maybe like in game chat or something cool like that. I also want a price cut. But can sony afford it? Guess we will find out on tuesday
A browser update would be nice , it's still too slow compared to a pc .
java support on the ps3 would be sweet… as would a psp "slide"
So there wont me a price drop?! NOOOOOOOOOO! i'll never get my ps3 🙁
No worries mate, at some point or another.
I dont think the announcement will be the 2.70 Firmware update. If they are saying its big then im almost certain, though the details for the update or web browser improvement may coincide with the announcement.

Maybe its the LoD announcement I wait for all week and was insanely disappointed to find out isn't true.
If your talking about Legends of Dragoon Im right there with ya man lol
Aiiie' brethren.
And where exactly will Sony be making this announcement? Playstation Blog?
The ps2 will sell for $79.99; a lil recession relief from Sony
😉
OMG Kojima Productions is exclusively publishing for Sony Entertainment
maybe the head of Sony saved a bundle by switching to Geico.
LOL
New exclusive GOSSIP GIRLS game for PS3! 😉
Sweet
Wow, a big surprise? For me?? My birthday just went by too ..hmmm what could it be? There are so many things (as all the posts above have noted) that it could be. I'm hoping for either a new exclusive big name title, or …perhaps a huge firmware update, that would be exciting …as anything free would be.
big announcement:By current projections, ps3 will surpass the major success of our major competetors, both wii and 360 combined. more people have baught a ps3 thanks to Killzone 2, and, as im sure you all heared of, was a huge crush to microsofts claims that A)"killzone 2 didn't matter," and that B) "Killzone sold S**T all.
Happy all? well guess what!!! the great news just keep on coming!!! We Officially Confirm: price cut, psp2, new firmware, 40gb ps3 for $199, and that wasn't even the best news. for you see, the Greatest news of all is:
we lied! ONLIVE will completely obliterate all consoles!!!! well, except for the wii… that son of a gun just won't die.
Wasn't that rewarding? I know it was, just remember, happy April Fools Day, And have a merry easter!!!
(dont hate, im sick(n) so i need something to reward me with humor, sorry for getting your hopes up, then crushing them. Remember, Happy April Fools!!!)
(P.S: happy easter aswell.)
I think a decent PS3 browser is sorely over due. I cannot even watch news clips from the CNN or BBC websites. The PS3 web browser has been very weak in many areas.
Q!
"i am home"
Yeah. It would be nice if it didn't lock up the PS3 virtually every time I use it, as well…and I use it every day.
Seriously, did they subcontract the browser to Microsoft?
March 31 huh? Thats too close to April 1 for my taste.
colored ps3s, idk.
they are going to announce that the next GTA IV installment is going to be a PS3 exclusive
they are goin to announce the next GTA game will be a PS3 exclusive
wont happen gta has already joined the darkside
Lol, an idiot -1'd everyone
Maybe all of thee above? ewwwwoowoooo *shivers* Makes me nervous lol.
