Holy Super Secret Sony Statements Batman

Here's a dead horse we just can't stop beating. More rumors of a price drop. This one's got some legs to it though. GamePro France says that Sony's planning a big announcement in October. "Indeed, it seems that the dated October 12, 2007 one was chosen by Sony to make an enough important advertisement to be qualified in-house “big-bang” Hm, what could it be? My take on this:

1) Sony's dropping the price of the PAL PS3s. (They deserve it)
2) Sony's going to reveal the new SKU. (PS3 40go+ BR Spider Man 3 = 399€)
3) Sony's going to announce the PS3/PES2008 Bundle at 449€ (coming November 15th?)

Your thoughts?

Edit: Real Deal Gaming puts forth a convincing argument that the new PS3 will be released on Oct 30th. Why?

-Spiderman 3 release date
-Ratchet and Clank got pushed back to, you guessed it, Oct 30th.
-Sony will sell a stand-alone console at $399 while offering either a Spiderman 3 bundle or ratchet and clank bundle (for maybe $425 and $450 respectively. I'm guessing.) If that doesn't get PS3s flying off of shelves, almost nothing will.
