SOEE Vice President has a PS3 Price Slip!

According to Joystiq.com (and in contradiction of an earlier article today) George Fornay, president of Sony Computer Entertainment France and vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe accidentally announced the price of the PS3. Fornay says the Playstation 3 will be €499 and €599 which is equivalent to $613 to $736 dollars here in the U.S. Hopefully the price ends up dropping from there because they might just end up going the way of Atari if their system starts off that high, but what do you get for all that extra cash? Well in Fornay’s eyes you will get a cheap Blu-ray compatible playback system. Sony has always tried to make their own medium but for some reason they don’t stick; remember the Mini disc and it already seems that UMDs are going the same route. While a Sony exec made the statement we can never tell until the final price will be announced.
