Sony Computer Entertainment has announced a $50 (Rs. 2,275 approx.) cut in its pricing of the Playstation 3 console in the United States. Similar price-cuts have also been announced for Japan and Europe. In the U.S., the 160GB version of the console will now have a new price-point of $249 (Rs. 11,300 approx.), while the 320GB version will now be available for $299 (Rs. 13,600 approx.). Europe also saw a €50 drop in both versions while in Japan, the 320GB PS3's price fell to ¥24,980 from ¥29,980.
Sony's price-cuts come in wake of Nintendo's decision to slash the prices of the 3DS handheld console to $169.99 (Rs. 7,735 approx.) from $225 (Rs. 10,240 approx.).Sony India sources didn't confirm if India would see a similar price drop but it seems highly likely that we shall soon see similar price-cuts on Playstation 3s sold on our shores. Currently the 160GB version is being sold for Rs. 19,990 and the 320GB version for Rs. 22,490.
