PS3 Is Real!

Yes, it's true. It's not made out of wood, it's not behind bullet-proof glass at the Tokyo Game Show - it's a real live PS3 and the guys at PSM3Mag got to play it today. The two Sony reps that were kind enough to bring PSM3Mag the machine brought it in a bag, popped it out and placed it on their table. They than connected it to their TV and we were away. Forget any dev-kit speculation and empty cases. PS3 is real and it works brilliantly, according to PSM3Mag. Add comment

PS3 Price Cut in Japan – Not US

With the market becoming competitive daily, Sony has already announced a price cut for its next Gen console. Sony will cut the domestic price of its basic PlayStation 3 model to 47,600 yen, or about $410 USD, from an originally planned 59,800 yen, or $515 USD. That puts the PlayStation 3 in the same range as the combined basic Xbox 360 and HD DVD player in Japan, where the duo will sell for 49,600 yen, or $427 USD. There are no plans to lower prices in the U.S. or other markets. Add comment
