How long before the new PS3 price tag of 299UKP filters down to the High Street?

Question

Or will they just sit on the same deals until they get new stock in? It's looking good for the PS3 come April 2008.

Also, what real difference does 20GB less space make for the cheaper machine? What are the USB ports used for?

Answer 1

there will be a ps3 with a 40GB hard drive for £299

go to www.gamestation.co.uk

its ready for preorder. the only problem is that it doesnt have is full capability the a 60GB would have eg can't play ps2 games and a few other things

if you want a 60GB hard drive im guessing absolute latest this time next year and absolute earliest would probably be in the January sales for it to become £299.

The USB ports are maily used for media so you can plug in your mp3 player and it will play the songs. I think you can also put a certain webcam for it but that would be for later use when you recieve updates.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

I've read it should be in effect by the 10th oct. (i.e. a week)
The 60GB is coming down too to £349 with two games.
The USB ports can be used for all sorts (keyboards, mice, cameras, etc), but also for charging the controllers. (only having 2 isn't a big hardship)
The other big(ish) thing is no PS2 b/wards compatibility.

Ask at your local shop, I read somewhere, some are taking pre-orders.

Answer 3

Ooooo.. i might get a ps3 now.. and i dont really care about the space.. im doing just fine with the 20GBs in the xbox 360...

Answer 4

20GB version isn't on sale anymore (officially). This version doesn't have card reader and wi-fi. Also it doesnt have chrome trim. USB ports are used for controllers charging, PSP connection, flash drives, cameras, printers, external HDDs and other stuff.

Answer 5

I'm guessing around the January sales
