Just over 200 quid for Sonys next-gen console?
Hurray for console pricing rumours, and hurray especially for PS3 pricing rumours! New gossip circulating the ‘net is suggesting Sony’s next-gen console could hit the UK cheaper than previously thought – at around 222 quid. Apparently, these latest PS3 price-tag rumours originated in a US PlayStation magazine, grandly stating that the next-gen console will hit States-side for 399 USD in November (which, according to our abacus, works out at around the above mentioned 222 GBP). Obviously it’d never retail for 222 GBP – the ‘ending in 9’ pricing convention MUST BE OBSERVED – and, of course, it’s unlikely we’d get anything near a direct dollar to pound conversion either, but that’s cheap godammit. If it’s true. An intriguing rumour to be sure but one that, let’s face it, is pretty hard to swallow – especially considering the expected supreme cost of Blu-ray players, which will feature inside the PS3. We’d love it to be true, but let’s just wait for E3 where Sony will deliver concrete info
