Just in time for the upcoming holiday season, Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) has reduced the price of the 80 GB PlayStation 3 (PS3) gaming console by $160 to a more attractive price point of $499. The 80 GB version of the console was introduced in August at a retail price of $659, at which time the original 60 GB edition was reduced by $100 to sell for $549. As of November 2, SCEA is replacing the 60 GB model with a new 40 GB version that will sell for an MSRP of $399.
Last year the core gamers all bought theirs. Is this price cut enough to push casual gamers over the edge?
Better yet, will a lower price point PS3 be bought in droves as a Blu-ray player for people's home entertainment systems, and pooch sales of Sony's CAD $599 BPDS300 player?
Anyone care to guess?
