PS3 Price drop and 40GB SKU confirmed *

[pipo]

Yep and now that everybody else has the starter pack at 499€, we have it at 599€, which is the same as the old price in other places...

That's beyond ridiculous.

The latest word from industry insiders is that SCEA will follow its European counterpart with a $399 40GB PlayStation 3 on November 2. Gamers looking for backward compatibility with the PS2, however, may still want one of the more expensive versions.

Hmm, that date seems to further imply a Spiderman 3 bundle, imo. Which is pretty big if true, AFAICT, but we'll see!

You could very easily do something about that yourself. Just open up a finish website, allow people to preorder the 40GB version (and the other versions) from your website, and then import them yourself from another European country. Should be very easy.

...yeah....I doubt the 40GB will be the only SKU left on the European market. Very much. I bet a new high end 65nm SKU will replace the 60GB when the channel is cleared.
