60GB PS3 Being Pulled In US This August
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe just dropped the bomb on US gamers. Apparently the recent $100 price drop of the 60GB PSP in the States was made to clear out the back stock and make room for the 80GB PS3 right back at the $599 price tag. The transition will begin in August and the 80GB model will come bundled with MotorStorm.
This means that there really hasn’t been any price drop for US gamers. We just got the old wool briefly pulled over our collective eyes. For a split second Sony seemed to be heading in the right direction. Most people can agree that $599 is far too much to pay for a gaming console, no matter what it can do. Now Sony jumped from a mildly reasonable $499 to the outrageous $599. The 20GB difference in the systems and MotorStorm are not worth the $100 margin between the systems. For shame Sony, for shame.
