Sony PS3 price changes

 

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), Inc. announced a new 80GB model of its PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) computer entertainment system. Beginning in August, the new PS3 model will be available in North America for a suggested retail price of $599 US Dollars and will be sold with the online-enabled racing game MotorStorm. Click here for the popular Family Friendly Gaming review of Motor Storm. Sony also announced that effective immediately, the current 60GB PS3 model will be available in North America for $499 US Dollars. This is essentially a price change of $100 US Dollars.

This may irritate the few million of people who were early adopters of the PS3 since they paid an extra one hundred dollars. If they would have waited a mere eight months they could have gotten the Playstation 3 at a much better deal. Five hundred dollars is still a lot of money and in the coming months we will be able to tell if this move helps Sony get out of the home video game console cellar in terms of sales.

"As we move into the next phase of PS3, it's important that we continue to evaluate our product line, offering consumers the technology and features that meet their growing needs for new forms of media and the way in which it is delivered," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO of SCEA. "The introduction of the 80GB PS3, the new pricing for the current 60GB model, the availability of more than 100 new software titles this fiscal year and, finally, the expansion of services for PLAYSTATION Network, will provide even more options for users and will help bring new consumers into the PS3 fold."
