Sony cutting 80GB PS3 price to $400 in September, ditching backwards compatibility
Filed under: Gaming
Sony just announced at E3 that it’s cutting the price of the 80GB PS3 to $400 in September. Unlike the outgoing 80 gigger, the new model doesn’t have backwards compatibility, though — so it’s really more like the the 40GB PS3 is getting a capacity bump. That also means that the 80GB PS3 now costs the same as a 60GB 360 and an Xbox Live membership, which should make the decision a little harder for some people. We’re also wondering if that’s the end of the line for PS3 backwards compatibility entirely — we have a feeling launch consoles are about to get a little more precious.
