- Post a comment Two months ago, Sony shaved $100 off the price of its 60GB PlayStation 3 and
introduced a new $599.99 model with an 80GB hard drive. Now
Ars Technica reports that Sony will reduce the price of their 80 GB PS3 to
$499 sometime this fall and will launch an all new 40 GB version of the console
which will be priced at $399. The story claims that one or both of the PS3
models will come with a Blu-Ray version of Spider-Man 3 (the movie, not the
game). Such a product could be a tantalizing alternative to the $349.99 Xbox 360
"Premium" this holiday season, since Sony would be offering a comparable system
with 20GB of extra storage capacity and a Blu-ray drive for just $50 more. The
story also claims that a price cut for the PS2 is coming, reducing the price to
just $99. |
