UK PS3 Price Cut and New 40GB Model Today?


We'll be very surprised if Sony doesn't drop the price of the Playstation 3 sometime soon. The rumors are all but confirmed, and Sony itself has given it's traditional form of confirmation – an official denial.

UK gadgeteers Pocket Lint are reporting that the existing 60GB PS3 price will drop to £370 ($750) and that a new 40GB "core" pack will be released for £300 ($610), which will drop the frills found in the Value Pack (two games, two controllers). The smaller model will also lose half of its four USB ports and the backwards compatibility chip which lets you play older Playstation games

The announcement date? Today. Pocket Lint's source said: "We are currently under strict NDA, however that NDA runs out in the next 48 hours".
