In a late breaking story SmartHouse News has been able to confirm that PAL markets including Australia and the UK will get a PS3 price cut on July 12th.

The Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment in Australia, Michael Ephraim, has confirmed that a PAL market announcement will be made on July 12 2007 regarding price cuts to the PAL market PS3.

It is expected that the PAL market Sony PS3 models, which are among the most expensive in the world, will be cut by as much as 17%. This will bring the Australian model down to $829.00...

 

Very interesting. IMO, such a price cut will really make Europe competitive vs. the Wii.

 

Wrong, it will make it competitive against the xbox 360. The wii will still be nearly half the price of a PS3 (in the UK).

Good news for consumers though, and if my 360 dares to break...
