Sony Plans PS3 Price Cut…Just Not Now [Rumour]
An alleged mole at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s (SCEE’s) yearly staff briefing last week in London has spilled the beans on how the PS3 is getting a price cut, how PlayStation Network will be getting a lot more investment and how God Of War III is looking sweet indeed. First off, the supposed price cut. At the meeting, SCEE President David Reeves revealed that the PS3 will be getting ‘more competitive′ from March 2009. That said, most consoles get a price cut when they turn 1-year old. It had better be a good cut though since the gap between the PS3 and Xbox 360 Premium is around £100. He also bragged that the PS3 has now got a bigger ‘install base′ in PAL territories than the Xbox 360 [any independent stats on this?] and that this will widen considerably next year. Playstation Network apparently raked in £150m in revenues, prompting a big investment push for the Xbox LIVE rival while PSP versions of LittleBigPlanet and Motorstorm were also previewed. The PS3’s Killzone 2, due next March, also got an airing as did Uncharted 2, the successor to arguably the most fun PS3 game so far. The finale came with what sounds like a proper trailer for God Of War III, with Kratos taking out the skeleton and Cyclops trash on his way to Mount Olympus for some God-bashing. Of course, you must some - not all - of this with a pinch of salt.-Martin Lynch [D+Pad] ps3 console games
