AtheK Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 SONY'S CFO confirms no Price Cut for PlayStation 3. Sure we heard Sony fib about a forthcoming PS3 price drop before, but we're inclined to believe Mr. Nobuyuki Oneda on this one. The aforesaid chief financial officer told a forum in Singapore that "this year, [sony's] strategy is not to sell more quantity of PS3 but to concentrate on profitability." He outrightly added that Sony's "plan is not to reduce the price." Yeah, we all know the Xbox 360 will be getting a little easier on the wallet, but with the public's newfound interest in the PlayStation 3's Blu-ray abilities, we too see no reason for Sony to take an even bigger hit. After all, this console is still widely regarded as the best deal going for those interested in a Blu-ray deck, and we don't see that changing in the very near term. Update: In somewhat unrelated news, Sony will be fixing consoles bricked by firmware update 2.40 for free.

tesla Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 People seem to be happy with the current price and it indeed is the cheapest blu ray player. I do expect a price cut next year as chinese manufacturers will start manufacturing bluray players then and the cost of bluray drives will come down thereby reducing the cost of building a system.

boltonfan Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Update: In somewhat unrelated news, Sony will be fixing consoles bricked by firmware update 2.40 for free. Is this also for consoles not under warranty or out of the warranty region?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Consoles not in warranty in same region should be covered...Out of region are never in any warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
