More PS3 details emerge – $399 Pricetag says PSM

The latest issue of Playstation Magazine has revealed more details on the upcoming PS3, including the current hot topic, the price. Contrary to the opinion of other news organisations, PSM has named the PS3 has having quite a low price: $399 in the U.S., €322 in Europe and ¥45,965 in Japan. My hopes of Sony announcing a price at E3 are still there, despite some claims that Sony will not announce a price at the expo.

Although not new information, the magazine also claims that the PS3’s 60GB non-removable hard drive will come as standard. And for those who care about backward compatibility (I know I do), PSM also revealed that PSX/PS1 and PS2 games will run on the PlayStation 3 in 720, 1080i and 1080p. The magazine also confirmed that all PS3 games will be in the Blu-ray format, and will have no region lockouts. Finally, PSM also mentioned that the launch line-up and final design of the PS3’s controller will be released at the E3 gaming expo in May.
