It’s about damn time for that, you know? How much was that damn thing before? Now, they lowered it to $299.
Sony Corp. (SNE) effectively cut the price of its PlayStation 3 by $100 on Tuesday, a move the consumer-electronics giant hopes will juice demand for the next-generation gaming console, which has undersold its rivals since its launch nearly two years ago.
Sony announced that its PlayStation 3 will come in a new slim form factor, cost $299, and will be available at retail stores in about two weeks. The price is down from $399 for the current model.
Maybe this will stop the PlayStation 2 from kicking its ass in sales?
Sony fucked up from the beginning by not advertising that it came with a blu-ray player. Idiots.
Aaaaargh! After I finally gave in and paid full freaking price. I knew it had to come down eventually but got tired of waiting. Ah well, it is the highest rated Blu-Ray player after-all.
