Since rumors have pretty much been confirmed for the discontinuation of the Xbox 360 Pro in favor of a lighter priced Elite, many have wondered what Sony’s response will be. Now, we may have a possible answer.
It seems a number of Europe retailers are dropping the current price of the PS3 to a much nicer, consumer-friendly amount. GameStop Iberia announced via Twitter that the official PS3 price was now €299 ($424.58), which is €100 less than the product’s standard price.
French electronics retailer Fnac is also selling the PS3 for a lower-then-usual price, offering the 80GB PS3 inFamous bundle for only €299. However, it seems that this is only for the Portuguese store.
