| shams said: After charging $599 for a PS3 80Gig (+ game), they would have some serious BALLS to charge $399 for the same thing... with a slightly smaller hard disk. I can't see it happening, and it would make a massive dent in their pockets if it was true. Then again this is Sony - they aren't exactly the most rational company around. |
I think the original post is a little misleading the Spiderman 3 pack-in is not the game it is the Blu-ray movie wich sony can give away since it made a but load of cash. the rumor also states that by the Holiday that 80 gb will be 499 I would definitly choose the 399.00 version. This may be more than a rumor It is like the 3rd time I heard of a 40GB PS for 399. Saw it first on a loose talk in Game Informer before E3.
Sony's desire to win the format war is definitly a factor. This one Machine can generate a lot of income for years to come In two different areas of entertainment perhaps 3 in they can hook people to Home like second life for the PC. The loss on the console will be made up if they sell enough of them.
