EA Gives Their Take on PS3 Price Cut
It’s no secret that people other than consumers were anticipating a PS3 price cut. Sony’s decision to put out a price cut across all SKUs, as well as introduce the PS3 Slim for just $299, was met with unanimous praise at GamesCom 2009. Now that the dust has settled, publishers such as EA are putting their two cents in on the surprising announcement.
According to the Electronic Arts CEO, John Riccitiello, expressed his approval of Sony’s decision to reduce the price of the console, stating it was a “great move”. The reason for his delight stems from Sony’s perfect timing.
Considering the holidays are accompanied with tons of great deals in addition to new products from companies begging for attention, overwhelmed consumers find it difficult to keep up. As a result, Riccitiello feels that an August price cut “really stands out”.

Would love to see someone get a comment from Kotick
i hate that we had to do a price cut under his time lol
“Because the PS3 is now cheaper, we must compensate for the lack of totally raping the consumer’s wallet by making our games only accessible by opening up a new mortgage. It will help stabilize the banking system too, we’re just here to help the gaming industry (because our games are better, duh) and the entire global economy itself to be the best they can be.”

“Bobby Kotick was unavailable for comment.” Priceless
Bobby Kotick would now be happy and probably announce their games’ price hike. He just made me look at their games less appealing. That’s why I would like to thank him for making me spend less. Although there would still be alot of games to get.
