no the new ps3 is cheaper than the new one and they just sell the old ps3 for 300 dollars for the customers but to create it prob costs them 340 and they lose money on each ps3 sold and thats it :P |
No, the old ps3 costed 340$ as of June or so. My bad, it actually costed them 440 or so as of sometime earlier in the year.
And, it doesn't cost them 340$ per unit anymore. They literally have thousands upon thousands of these things lying around. Getting rid of them :
a) decreases on warehouse storage needs, lower costs to hold them
b) is marketing
c) gives them a tax write-off
So, no, it doesn't cost them anything because they've already been paid for, and they are getting a pretty reasonable compensation for them.
