no pricedrop in europe

Europe gets a PS3 starter pack at a price of 600 euro’s

Sony has stated many times that the PS3 may not receive a price cut in Europe but will provide more of a value proposition. Well we have received news that they are going down the road of adding value by releasing the ‘PS3 starter pack’ for 600 euro’s which comes complete with a 60GB PS3, Resistance: Fall of Man and Motorstorm as well as two SIXAXIS controllers.

Well, about $550 CND. Pretty nice I must say. I bought a 360 last week and probably would’ve picked up a ps3 instead if it was that price.

costs $667 here at Saudi Arabia and there’s not enough internet speed to play online UNLESS you pay much more. overall, i’ll stick to playing PS2 or PC games 1-2 years more.

Love it or hate it guys nothing is going to take the min-E3 hype away from the Wii!! Nintendo is owning the Console market, they are just months away from overtaking the sales figures of the Xbox 360 and well PS3 lol … been there did that.

I just love how everyone seems to think that they are the expert on how a company should sell their products. This is clearly a marketing stunt to add to sonys usual e3 hype.

The price cut is ’cause they are gonna sell ps3’s with bigger hard drives… it’s not because of “making more customers” or begging people to buy it…

An absolutely bloody useless price cut for an absolutely bloody useless console….

@WingAttackGroupElll

@3: I heard they already lost around $200 per console when it first launched. They’re saying now that manufacturing costs are cheaper, they’re not losing so much and are able to drop the price…like they weren’t forced to anyways due to lack of sales.

@4: Drop the price 50%?!?! That’s impossible! Every console (well, maybe not the wii), even the 360 LOSES money when they sell it. They make it up on games and accessories, so they really make a profit 4-5 yrs down the line.

Anyways…

The price has dropped $150 in Canada, from $700 to $550. The XBox Elite also costs $550 there so it’s not too bad, considering the Blu-ray is also included. If that format wins, then it’s an amazing deal.

Also, thanks to the drop, ps3 sales rose up 2700%. It wasn’t a suprise at all with the $100 price drop. Everyone knew it was gonna happen soon.

In Australia a 60GB PS3 retails for $999. Yep, you got it, a thousand bucks and the current equivalent of 850 USD! Now if deciding whether or not to fork out a grand of your hard earned cash is not a physchological barrier in the mind of the consumer, then I don’t know what is! Finally, Sony is waking up to the mess they created with their crazy pricing, but so far only a price drop in the US. Too little, too late? The PS3 probably already qualifies for the all-time marketing blunder of the gaming industry.
