Australia getting PS3 price cut announcement on July 12

Here’s some good news for Sony fans in Australia. Australian gamers will not be left out of the planned price cuts for the Sony PlayStation 3 video game console.

According to Australian consumer tech website Smarthouse News, Michael Ephraim, the Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment in Australia, has confirmed that an official announcement regarding price cuts for PAL PS3s will be made on July 12.

This coincides with earlier word from SCEE that Europe will be getting a price cut announcement during this year’s E3 Media and Business Summit to be held on July 11 to 13.

People in the industry expect that the PS3 will be getting a price cut of as high as 17%, which will bring the cost of Sony’s next gen video game console down to AU$ 829 (US$ 715). North American PS3s – both the 60GB and 80GB models – are getting a US$ 100 price cut.
