Page 1 of PS3 - No price drop for Europe

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6896261.stm

Instead they`ll bundle a starter pack with 2 games & two controllers

Usual contempt of Sony for Europe whilst rest of World gets a price drop

Still they should be thankful that M$ cocked up the 360 Elite by not combining a HD player in it :/

While I hate Sony`s arrogance towards Europe and this probably costs them less than a price cut, an extra controller and the rumoured Resistance and Motorstorm bundle is worth more to the buyer than a £50 price cut.......

Ste

Aye, but when will we actually see it in the stores.

Yeh No Price drop for Europe
but for U.S there dropping the price of the 60gb to 499
and there introducing the new 80gb one for 599

July 18th apparently for the retail packages to arrive in the shops.

Looks like Play.com are getting in there early with the deals. £400 for this bundle doesn`t look bad at all.

guess they want to get rid of the old games

I went into Virgin this morning and picked up the PS3, 1 extra controller and 3 games for £425. Wasn`t expecting the 3 game deal.
Got Motorstorm, Ridge Racer & Ninja Gaiden (have bought Resistance from ebay).
Also got my brother-in-law heading to meet his girlfriend in Chicago this weekend - so had a couple of games delivered to her (Fight Night 3 - which is a big favourite of mine on the PS2 & Virtua Tennis)...plus Blue Planet on Blu-Ray.

Nice.
