New PS3 Price Cut & versions rumours

Posted on Tuesday, 11 September 2007 by Speed, source: Arstechnica
Arstechnica is reporting that Sony plans to announce a couple of changes to their pricing strategy pretty soon (maybe even for the coming holiday season already)

Here's how Sony's platform pricing will shape up by the holiday shopping season:
  • 80GB PlayStation 3: $499.99
  • 40GB PlayStation 3: $399.99

  • Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray movie pack in with one, or both
  • PlayStation 2: $99.99


  • The 80GB price drop isn't that shocking, but a new $400 40GB system would be huge news. Would people be willing to part with 40GB to save $100? I think so, and having a $400 PlayStation 3 option would be a great weapon this holiday season. If they get to show off the Blu-ray capabilities of the system with Spider-Man 3 bundled? That's a nice package.

    A $399 40GB PS3 does sound pretty nice! I'm sure that could finally turn things around for Sony.

    Its nice that they seem to be getting more competitive with their hardware, but I still feel like their lacking on the games.
