The first version of the PlayStation 3 Price Dropped?

Sony recently showed off a super slim PlayStation 3. So, what about the fate of the previous generation PlayStation 3?

PlayStation 3 is the latest generation offers a number of advantages of the older versions, such as the body is 50% lighter and 25% slimmer than the PlayStation 3 slim.

This new console prices were deliberately pegged Sony to shift the older generation. For example, for 500 GB version is priced at $ 300, the price is the same as the PlayStation 3 320 GB today.

To Playstion 3 250 GB is USD 20 more expensive if compared to previous generation with a capacity of 160 GB, but in the sales package Sony has included a game Uncharted 3. If the calculated value is certainly offered in the latest generation looks quite tempting.

Pricing strategy like this was deliberately done so that the latest generation of PlayStation 3 can be easily absorbed. But what about the fate of the console before? Are Sony will lower the price as has been done?

Unfortunately, it is unlikely to happen. "Officially, there will be no reduction in the price (for PS 3 older), the consumer and the content we want is a game that is worth," said John Koller, Sony Computer Entertainment VP. As quoted from ArsTechnica, Friday (09/21/2012).
