Sales - UK Console Costs? - View Post

The killer price is the PS3 IMHO. Yes, you can pick it up for £399 instead of the MRRP of £425 and shortly you will get an extra sixaxis, Motorstorm and Resistance all bundled for the MRRP of £425 which IMHO will probably stay at £399 at most places. Seeing as the basic unit is more than $200 more expensive (once deducting VAT from the UK price) than the US price, I can see no reason why at some stage this year, SCEE can't reduce the price to make it closer to £299 without the bundle.

SCEE have stated that there will be other deals coming up after the Starter Pack in preparation for the "holiday season". And I sincerely hope that they do bring the price of the basic PS3 unit down to £350, but IMHO it would be better for Sony all round in the UK if they made the PS3 £299 and the Starter Pack £349 in time for Xmas.
