Forums - Sony Discussion - Possible News That Could Have Huge Effect On PS3's Holiday Sales

A few weeks back, the PlayStation Blog let slip the details on three different PlayStation Move bundles, assuring that everyone was able to jump into the second wind of this console generation, regardless of where they stood in terms of hardware. Gamers could pick up the controller by itself for $49, get it with a camera and game for $99, or purchase a system, game, and a camera for $399. The last option didn't get any details, at the time, leaving gamers guessing as to what size hard drive it might come with. We've been sent some more information from a source close to Sony that has not only details on the $399 version, but information on an unannounced $349 edition as well.

According to the source (who has, in the past, proven reliable), the $399 version will come with a 320GB hard drive. The $349 version, which may or may not launch at the same time, will come packed with 120GB of space. This goes right alone with previous rumors of the company replacing its 120GB systems with 320GB models, and might mean a $50 price drop for the 120GB PlayStation 3 systems in the near future. That, or they'll just be phased out entirely.

Currently, we have no idea when this might be officially unveiled, but as Move's release date rapidly approaches it would make sense for the console maker to announce it sooner, rather than later. Might as well strike while everyone's still reeling over Kinect's $150 price point, right?

Hmm... A $50 cut would be great for the PS3 this Holiday. Especially right next to Gran Turismo 5 release

dont think it will be that big for the ps3 this holiday for sales though. move is more for the hardcore than the casual ( kinect ) . i think it might sell good though, just not huge.

yeah i believe that all 120gbs will be bundle with move for 349 and release in oct-nov of this year this is how sony will discontinue that sku the 120gb will be replaced very soon already has in JP with a 160gb for same price 

at move launch all that will be available is the bigger HDD sku for $399 sony did it this way so that they can make more money on those consumers that are the must buy at launch type

the other 2 companies better be shaking in there pants if this happens b/c the bang for the buck at $349 is insane

Don't expect Sony to fork over its profit margins - financially speaking this will probably be the best Christmas PS3 will ever have. Can't see a 'real' price cut on the older models, but they may discount them to clear out stock.
