PS3 Price Cut
Posted by Shane on Thursday, October 18, 2007 at 7:17 pm
As could have been expected, having exhausted the stock of the 60GB systems (though some stores still have them in stock, which may lead to middle ground pricing), Sony has now cut the price of the 80GB PlayStation 3 from $599 to $499, effective immediately. Motorstorm will be included in this bundle for the foreseeable future.
In addition, the company will introduce a 40GB model on November 2, which will retail for $399, and it will include a Spider-Man Blu-Ray DVD. Still not low enough for the mainstream, but this is a pretty fair entry pricepoint for the system. Anyone getting the base model might want to hold on to your PS2, as the 40GB version is not backward compatible.
