MCV: PS3 Price Drop Coming in August (Gamescom) ?

[Toxa]

Industry expects new bargain price for PS3 to be announced in August; Will bargain 360 and Wii bundles help reignite the market?

Sony is planning another Gamescom barnstormer – with a PlayStation 3 price cut on the cards.

An announcement is expected at the August event in Cologne. Trade insiders are hoping for an RRP of £199.99, with retail prepared to go to £179.99.

But Microsoft might have to act in response if it wants 360 to be the No.1 console. That means a price drop or a value-oriented Kinect bundle are possibilities.

Both Sony and Microsoft gave us a ‘no comment’ when questioned about upcoming price activity.
