Confirmed: 60GB PS3 at US$ 499, 80GB at US$ 599 soon to follow
It’s official: PS3 units are going to sell at US$ 499 in North America. After countless of rumors all over the net, mysterious ads sent in advanced, and claims that cheaper units went off the shelves, Sony finally gave word that they’ll be cutting a hundred bucks off the 60GB model. “This news does not affect any other PS3 territory,” said Dave Karakker, Sony Computer Entertainment America.
In addition, the 80GB PS3 models previously released in Korea are now flying over to the US. At US$ 599, the package will come with a copy of MotorStorm.
Price cut on the 60GB version will be effective come July 10, while the units with bigger hard drives will be shipping in August. An anonymous Circuit City manager claims that the price cut will take place on July 12, so some retail outlets might be a few days behind.
