No PS3 price cut or new bundle for Australia |
Ó
We've got some bad news to impart to our Australian gaming brethren. A new GameSpot report indicates that Sony will be discontinuing the sale of the 60 GB PS3 in Australia. Furthermore, there won't be any price cut or bundles expected for the console any time soon, unlike in other territories.According to the GameSpot report, the 60 GB PS3 will be phased out of Australia, with the 40 GB version being the only unit to be sold on Australian shores once the 60 GB version gets phased out. The mentioned 40 GB PS3 above is the one that lacks backwards compatibility and a multi-memory card port.
Said SCE Australia Managing Director Michael Ephraim about the new arrangement:
The 60GB model - with what stock we have left in trade- will be phased out, and the 40GB model is what we'll be supplying stores with going into Christmas and the new year. There will be one SKU - 40GB. And any de-speccing of the unit we've done on PS3 - except for backwards compatibility- can be upgraded by the consumer very easily.
The 40 GB PS3 units will be on sale from October 11, and will retail for A$ 699.95 (US$ 626).
