Sony have formally announced the first much-speculated price drop for the PlayStation 3 - in the USA. Basically they've dropped US$100 off the price tag - so it's a little cheaper, but not that much. They've also got mention of a new 80GB model.

We've asked Sony Australia to see if we can get some more information about what is happening on our side of the pond, but they have "no announcements to make at this time", so we might have to wait for a bit longer.

Isn't the ps3 already overpriced here as it is?

i was at EB on saturday, $999 for a ps3

forget that s***

Great story paveway.

heh

still not cheap enough considering the lack of games factor. needs more gt5.

They'll be hurting now, i bet.

Considering a Blue Ray player is ~ $400 in the US and they're suposedly selling at a loss, imagine what the PS3 is costing them...

Suck it hard.

Real hard.

Great story paveway.

i was going to tell the one about your mum and i, but i'll keep that for another time

sony should release a whole bunch of free games online like a good 10-15 free games. and watch people snap up the console. at that point they win the console war, and then watch the game sales sky rocket after 6months when the good games come out and were sick of the free ones.

Niggah please, a hundred free games wouldn't make me pay a g-sum for a console.

Not when you have a PC and can download billions of free games off the interwebs

^- what trog said .. free as in flash games too, none of that juarez stuff.

I meant free as in Enemy Territory, America's Army, Soldat, OpenArena, Warsow, Urban Terror, FEAR Combat, Tremulous, Tribes, Nexuiz, FreeCiv, Alien Arena, Ground Control, Grand Theft Auto 2, etc.
