Sony Announces PS3 Price Drop to $249.99

Sony Computer Entertainment today at their Press Conference at Gamescom announced a price drop for the PlayStation 3 meaning that late adopters are getting a top of the line 3D ready blu-ray player and gaming console for $249 which looks to be about the same price of a PlayStation Vita. Decisions, decisions.

Sony also announced a 320GB PS3 for $299.99 that comes bundled with InFamous 2 as well as a 30 day free trial membership to PlayStation Plus.

"The new price will make the PS3 more accessible than ever before, so there’s never been a better time to join PlayStation Nation. We know that while future-proof technology is important to you, content is still king — that’s why we continue to focus on bringing you exclusive “must have” titles that are unmatched by anything else on the market. With games like Resistance 3, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and one of my personal favorites, Uncharted 3, all on the horizon, there’s a lot of great entertainment in store for you.

We take our commitment to the millions of PlayStation fans out there very seriously. We don’t just want you to be part of the PlayStation Nation, we want you to be proud to be a PS3 owner. We have many exciting things planned for you in the months ahead, but suffice it to say we are hard at work to bring you more of what you want and more of what you expect. Stay tuned, there’s more to come…" 

We don't doubt it there Jack. Just the icing on the cake, right? Now our interest is peaked for the batter.
