It's official: Sony announces US$ 100 price drop for 80GB PlayStation 3 |
Ó
It looks like analyst Michael Pachter was right on the mark when he predicted a possible price cut for Sony's 80 GB PlayStation 3.The company has just announced that they will be marking down the 80 GB unit's sell price down to US$ 499, effective immediately. Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) CEO Jack Tretton had this to say regarding the price drop:
We're pleased to offer the consumer a lower price point without sacrificing the core technology components that make PS3 the most advanced high-definition entertainment system available. Every PS3 comes with a Blu-ray drive, HDMI output, an integrated Wi-Fi connection, Cell Broadband Engine and a built-in hard-drive.
This announcement comes shortly after SCEA officially announced the November 2 launch date for their 40 GB PS3, which won't be backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 games. The 80 GB PS3 retains BC via software software support.

I'll see when I pick one up then.
btw,
it retains Backward compatibility via software software support?
so you're saying it's software for software?
and does this new software need updates too?
which would make it "software - software for software"

UK as software already but now the have 40 gig version with NO software BC.
I am really dissappointed by the fact that sony came up with multi SkUs after criticising M$s 360. (then again many were complaining bout the price)

- Possibly. A public outcry always gets attention.
