Forbes Falls For $399 PS3 Price Tag

It looks like somebody just pulled a fast one on one of the most respected business magazines around which is Forbes. Apparently, the Forbes people failed to distinguish a real scoop from mere rumors because they are reporting that the PS3 will be sold in the very, very, very low price of $399. Their proof for this juicy morsel of news? The latest issue of PSMÂ… a story which was completely debunked days ago. In case you don’t remember, the talk about the $399 PS3 price tag was also reported in the rumors section of QJ’s PS3 blog.

Which makes me wonder, why didn’t Forbes even bother to place a call to Sony or PSM representatives just to clear the issue? There has been so many rumors about the PS3 price tag, maybe the only solution for these rumors to stop is for Sony to officially announce its price.
