The Internet was heating up with rumors this week involving a PS3 price drop and Sony's exclustivity with the new Final Fantasy game.
However, if you dig a little deeper into the sources of these rumors, you see that they don't really have an legs to stand on as the blog Ars Technica found out.
Basically, both rumors stemmed from third or fourth hand quotes from foreign sources. In the case of the PS3 price drop, the quote itself was very ambiguous and an answer that left the door open for any direction of speculation. The Internet just took it in the way they wanted it to go. With Final Fantasy, the quote used had been translated from the original Japanese article, possibly losing some of its subtlty.
