ParoxysM Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Sony has no plans to cut PlayStation 3 price TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony Corp. has no plans to cut the price of its PlayStation 3 (PS3) at present to pep up demand and counter surging sales of Nintendo's rival game console Wii, Sony's president said on Friday. "At present we have no plans," to cut the PS3 price, Chubachi said in an interview. Sony has packed cutting-edge technology such as a Blu-ray high-definition optical disc player into the PS3, driving up production costs and making its retail price more than twice as expensive as the Wii. I saw the "scan" of the CC ad too. I'll wait until it's under $400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, Target is now advertising the PS3 @ $100 cheaper starting Sunday as well. -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Ob. Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 PS3 price cut denied, confirmed "On Friday, Sony President Ryoji Chubachi told reporters that there were "no immediate plans" to reduce the PS3 price point. Chubachi must have a fairly narrow definition of immediate, as Sony's Dave Karraker confirmed a price cut on Sunday. ... It's tough for Sony to maintain respect amongst the press, and the gaming public, when they flat out deny a story until the second they put out the press release. Intel used to do a similar thing, and that just bought them the ire of the enthusiasts, a community they've had to work hard to woo back. Is Sony making the same close-minded mistake?" Sony are idiots.... I would buy a Wii or a 360 first, just to spite them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurSuiT Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 w00t! I always wanted to pay $100 more and get just 20GBs more.... you would think they would have went from a 60GB Harddrive to a 160GB for $100 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 LOL... very true Pursuit. I guess in their minds they're doing enough my offering just 20gig's more, a free game ( MotorStorm ), not to mention an updated controller that will have Rumble thrown back into along w/ the Motion Sensing technology. Seems to me like they are a little behind the times here on their marketing strategy, but then again I never claimed to know the workings of Sony. I have no regrets w/ getting my PS3, the system is simply amazing, one of THE best investments I've recently made. It has finally started getting the quality games that we are looking for, which is what has been promised from the start. I recently got Ninja Gaiden Sigma & I'm still blown away by it, it simply IS that good. I use composite cables for my PS3 & they offer up an amazing picture & audio. I took the game to my friends house who has HDMI & was floored even more, things were yet again even better. If you still don't believe me, then check out all the happenings from E3 regarding Sony, they literally owned the show, something they didn't do last year because of their lack luster collection of games. That's all changed now, which is always good for us!! -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
