Australia getting PS3 price cut announcement on July 12 |
Ó
Here's some good news for Sony fans in Australia. Australian gamers will not be left out of the planned price cuts for the Sony PlayStation 3 video game console. According to Australian consumer tech website Smarthouse News, Michael Ephraim, the Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment in Australia, has confirmed that an official announcement regarding price cuts for PAL PS3s will be made on July 12.
This coincides with earlier word from SCEE that Europe will be getting a price cut announcement during this year's E3 Media and Business Summit to be held on July 11 to 13.
People in the industry expect that the PS3 will be getting a price cut of as high as 17%, which will bring the cost of Sony's next gen video game console down to AU$ 829 (US$ 715). North American PS3s - both the 60GB and 80GB models - are getting a US$ 100 price cut.

Currently costs a little under $1000AUD for 60GB PS3. That = 859.66USD....
Gonna have to make a real price cut. Even at $715USD we are still paying a $200 premium. Cheaper to have one freaking shipped here from US...
How could the 80 gig model get a 100$ price cut in the US if it hasnt even gone on sale yet? Is it going to be priced at 699 for a few minutes before they drop it to 599?
Don't be mistaken k? The 80GB that North America is going to have will be retailing for $599. As of today though -- stores across North America are selling PS3s at $499.
Do you get it now?
even with the price cute, the ps3 have only had a jump of 2800 consoles!!
Might go buy another one
wohoooo!!!
You again? Like i said before that was 2800%. You should jump into a fire before you pass on your genes.
No offense. But as said; "If you can't stand the heat, then get the heck outta the kitchen".
And your spelling grammar sucks. Go back to buying a Wii, you "Wii fanboy"!.
It is a post on a website, you should expect bad spelling and grammar.
If your going to rudely point out someone's mistakes, you'd better make sure what you write is more intelligible than that.
I really hope the price cut will happen in the U.K because it's my birthday on friday and i'm not gonna buy a ps3 until the price cut happens.
Fine by us. Don't suspect that once it does drop -- that more people will getting their hands on the PS3.
