Joystiq reported this price drop which was supposed to be August 16th but probably soon if true. I don't think it has dropped yet though but lots of links.

Re: Uncharted 2 (PS3)
Wow.
I think this series is really trying to blur the videogame/movie line and it's getting close to being able to play through a hollywood blockbuster.
Can't wait for this....Comment

Re: Uncharted 2 (PS3)
Ars Technica: Uncharted 2 makes PS3 shine; couldn't happen on 360
"I guarantee that this game couldn't be working on XBox 360. It would be impossible. I'm 100 percent sure of this." Christophe Balestra, co-president of Naughty Dog, spoke with Ars about the technology behind Uncharted 2, the hugely anticipated follow-up to one of the PS3's best games: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. "First of all, we fill the Blu-ray 100 percent, we have no room left on this one. We have 25GB of data; we're using every single bit of it."Balestra pointed out how important it is to ship every system with a hard drive. "The fact that every PS3 has a hard drive is huge for us." He went on to describe how the game takes advantage of Sony's offerings. "It's the combination of Blu-ray and hard drive. You can play the entire game without loading. We don't require an install. We're doing all the post-processing effects on the SPUs [Synergistic Processing Units]. The quality of the depth of field we have, you can't do that on the Xbox."
He was blunt about what Uncharted 2 means for the PlayStation 3. "We've invested a lot of time maximizing the power of the machine," he stated. "That's our job, to make the PS3 shine."For the first game, Balestra estimated that they used around 30 percent of the power of the SPUs, now the team was able to use them to 100 percent capacity. Naughty Dog understands the Cell processor, and knows how to get it to sing. "The ability to use the RSX [the PS3's graphics processor] to draw your pixels on the screen, then you use the Cell to do gameplay and animations—we kind of took the step of using the Cell process to help the RSX . All those things are done on the Cell processor," he explained. "It really helps us getting that quality of lighting per pixel; the amount of computation is pretty crazy."
Naughty Dog also used the SPUs to add physics to the sound so things occlude properly. That means that if you're behind a door, the sound will reflect that. Effects will sound different depending on where your character is in relation to the source. "All that math is done on SPUs to immerse players into the environment," he said. If you have a surround-sound setup for your PS3, this could very well be your new showcase title.
The other improvements from getting closer to the metal with PS3 development will be more easily seen by even those without high-end audio systems: better performance, and better AI. "We had a pretty good AI system on Uncharted, but we wanted to have more [non-player characters], we wanted to have also more enemies on the screen."
All this goes on behind the scenes, but it leads to a game world that feels real. The characters react realistically to what's going on, the sound is shaped by where you are and what you're doing, and the amount of action Naughty Dog was able to put on the screen is impressive; the set pieces we've seen from the game so far look more like a heavily choreographed film than something that's interactive and playable. It takes a lot of horsepower to make that happen, and Naughty Dog now has the experience to squeeze every drop from the PS3.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment
