I can't read the link from work but it seems like this might be the case, no idea if that's good:

WH Smith and Play.com drop console down to £399.99. Xbox 360 gets cut too.
by Rob Burman, IGN UK

UK, April 5, 2007 - Two major UK retailers have cut the price of the PlayStation 3 less than two weeks after the launch of the console. WH Smith and Play.com have slashed the price of the machine from £424.99 to £399.99.

WH Smith advertised the drop in The Sun newspaper, no doubt to catch the attention of parents looking to get their kids something a bit more special than a chocolate egg this Easter. Whereas, Play.com is offering the console for the same price but is also throwing in an HDMI cable and a copy of Click on Blu-ray.

At the time of writing no other retailers have folowed suit, although many are expected to. And while WH Smith's offer is scheduled to end on April 19, Play.com is offering the console for £399.99 for the forseable future.

Additionally, tomorrow - Good Friday - the console price craziness is set to continue, with Play.com telling us that it's planning to offer the Core Xbox 360 for just £149.99 - £50 lower than the RRP - and is dropping the price of the Premium Xbox 360 from £279.99 to £249.99. You'll have to be quick though because the offer only lasts until April 10 and stock is likely to be extremely limited.

Look Custard, I am bored of you sitting on the fence in the MS Vs. Sony console debate, just pick a side and stick with it, the non-bias attitude gets tiring

really,do you see any reports of stock shortages? :chin:
sales drops are a different matter to a price drop.
i doubt a retailer would annouce that and have no stock
