Gamescom 2009: PS3 Price Cut a Reality

PlayStation 3 prices slashed by $100 worldwide.

Most of you have been hearing the rumors of a PlayStation 3 price cut ever since E3 2009 took place but it’s only now at the Gamescom being held in Germany did Sony come out and actually announce it.

Starting today PlayStation 3s all over America will be sold for $299 which roughly translates to Rs. 14,500. As of now the PlayStation 3 is being sold in India for Rs. 25,000. It remains to be seen how this price cut affects the Indian market but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we can speak to Sony first thing tomorrow morning.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
