Sony had discontinued the 20gb stripped down version months ago and has not been a player in PS3 sales for a while now. So while at launch there were model's available for $499 and $599, but for the past several months there had been only one option, $599 for the 60 gb. |
If you look at only the 60GB model, then yes, it does look like a price cut. I'm looking at the overall affordability of the console... it hasn't changed AT ALL. The lowest price for a new PS3 is the same as it was before the so-called price cut. I'm not disputing that they have increased the overall value, just that they have not really given an overall price cut for the product.
Many consumers might have actually concidered a PS3 for $400, but it still costs $500. My point is that I'm tired of Sony's deceptive tactics. As a consumer, I've had enough of their constant BS. I think the PS3 is an incredible piece of hardware, but I'm not very happy with Sony's management of the situation AT ALL. They've been notorious for making deceptive statements in the past. This is just another example.
