We believe the market is expecting a PS3 price cut in April or by June (E3) at the latest, so a near term aggressive pricing decision by Sony could provide a positive catalyst for video game related stocks including GameStop, Activision and Take-Two Interactive. If Sony does not cut the price of their console, we expect the continuation of languishing PS3 hardware sales and the potential for publishers to accelerate their reallocation of resources away from the PS3 console.&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090227075106\/http:\/\/www.gamedaily.com\/articles\/news\/ps3-price-cut-coming-very-soon-says-analyst\/?biz=1\">Source<\/a><\/b><b> &#8211;

This is where it gets exciting.<br \/>\nThe PS3 still feels like a young system and I feel like it\u2019s finally hitting its prime. You\u2019ve got the Slim, it\u2019s at a good price point now and sales are really picking up.<br \/>\nI still think you\u2019re not going to see the PS3 really maxed out for another two to three years. We\u2019re using all of the PS3 right now, but you can always be more efficient in the way you use it.<\/b><b>&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20091030010733\/https:\/\/www.computerandvideogames.com\/article.php?id=226061\"><b>Source<\/b><\/a><b> &#8211; 396<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>29th of October 2009<\/b><\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>[Game Release<\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b> &#8211; <\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>Blu-ray]<\/b><\/span><\/strong><b><br \/>\nBayonetta<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>30th of October 2009<\/b><\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>[Game Release<\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b> &#8211; <\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>Blu-ray]<\/b><\/span><\/strong><b><br \/>\nBuzz!: Quiz World<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b><span style=\"font-family: Webslinger;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large;\">NOVEMBER<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>3rd of November 2009<\/b><\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>[Game Release<\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b> &#8211; <\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>Blu-ray]<\/b><\/span><\/strong><b><br \/>\nBand Hero<br \/>\nDragon Age: Origins<br \/>\nJurassic: The Hunted<br \/>\nLego Rock Band<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>5th of November 2009<\/b><\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>[Game Release<\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b> &#8211; <\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>Blu-ray]<\/b><\/span><\/strong><b><br \/>\n3D Dot Game Heroes<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>6th of November 2009<\/b><\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>[Game Release<\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b> &#8211; <\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>Blu-ray]<\/b><\/span><\/strong><b><br \/>\nPlanet 51<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>9th of November 2009<\/b><\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>[Game Release<\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b> &#8211; <\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>Blu-ray]<\/b><\/span><\/strong><b><br \/>\nDragon Ball: Raging Blast<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>10th of November 2009<\/b><\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>[Game Release<\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b> &#8211; <\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>Blu-ray]<\/b><\/span><\/strong><b><br \/>\nCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">11th of November 2009<\/span><br \/>\nThe PS3 turns 3<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>1<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>5<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>th of November 2009<\/b><\/span><b><br \/>\nThe Cyber Crimes Center reveals that it uses PS3\u2019s to help crack passwords on suspected child pornographers computers, here is what they said:<br \/>\n<\/b><b>&#8220;<\/b><b>Bad guys are encrypting their stuff now, so we need a methodology of hacking on that to try to break passwords, The Playstation 3, its processing component, is perfect for large-scale library attacks.<\/b><b>&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20091119062324\/http:\/\/www.hotbloodedgaming.com\/2009\/11\/15\/to-catch-a-predator-ps3-edition\/\"><b>Source<\/b><\/a><b> &#8211; 397<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>17th of November 2009<\/b><\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>[Game Release<\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b> &#8211; <\/b><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #e914e9;\"><b>Blu-ray]<\/b><\/span><\/strong><b><br \/>\nAssassin\u2019s Creed II<br \/>\nChaotic: Shadow Warriors<br \/>\nGod of War Collection<br \/>\nLego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues<br \/>\nScene It?
