[S1kkZ]

the 80 gb is now 339€ with two platinum games in germany and two weeks ago it was sold with 5 blurays for the same price.

[Mekere]

There is a rumour like that in France also nothing official yet, just some leaks from shop apparently.

[tass0]

299 evro = 430 dollars.. still doesn't seem like a good deal to me :P

[Lagspike_exe]

299 evro = 430 dollars.. still doesn't seem like a good deal to me :P

xyz number of dollars in US = xyz number of euros in EU.

[Luckyman]

299 everywhere confirmed am total

[freitax]

299 evro = 430 dollars.. still doesn't seem like a good deal to me :P

better than a elite for 430 dollars.. +live

[agm2502]

If true I wonder if the UK will get a price cut, £249 probably.

[kruis]

299 evro = 430 dollars.. still doesn't seem like a good deal to me :P

Euro price includes tax. There's also the exchange rate to keep in mind. The dollar's relatively weak, the euro relatively strong. Even low euro prices will become expensive when you convert everything to dollars. On the other hand, your stuff is generally cheap.

[gofreak]

I wonder if this will be an 'official' cut, or Sony just quietly letting retail do it to flush out remaining 80gbs without much fanfare.

[Woz]

299 evro = 430 dollars.. still doesn't seem like a good deal to me :P

299€ = 14.102,324 Taiwanese dollars OMG!!!

[tass0]

ah yes, I have forgot that Sony prices their stuff like Steam..

[onken]

What's the RRP in Europe now? 349 or 399?

[demosthenes]

Euro -> Dollars

is not the same as

Euro -> Yen.

[Gibb]

399 but can be found cheaper in some stores

[freitax]

ah yes, I have forgot that Sony prices their stuff like Steam..

[SuperÑ]

Elkjøp (Norway) now sells the PS3 for 2995nok

Elkjøp (Norway) now sells the PS3 for 2995nok

What was the price before?

[Wollan]

Elkjøp has been selling it for 3299nok for a couple of months but standard retail price is 3999nok (which most stores still sell it for). Elkjøp is Scandinavia/Norway's biggest electronics retailer.

DAYMN! Just converted that. It's fucking 1000 SEK less then us. We currently got it at roughly 3869 NOK. =/

Might be a drop coming here in Sweden then too. And maybe everywhere. So, maybe a $100-drop isn't TOO far-fetched.

So much fail :lol You don't know anything about how products are priced and taxed in Europe, do you?

[iamaustrian]

hhmmm
I'n now sharing a PS3 with my bro. WhenI buy a new PS3 can i transfer/use my account onto the new one? and what's with the bought PSN games?

[bonesmccoy]

PSN Sharing, friendo, PSN sharing.

Just log into the PS Store using his account, and download the stuff you bought.

[lupinko]

Yes, besides you are entitled to 5 different PS3 activations of your account (of course you can always deactivate your account on those other PS3s as well restoring an activation/share).

[cw_sasuke]

I might get one for 299 - hmm...

[Blablurn]

it begins

[Galvanise_]

299 Euro eh? That would equate to roughly £230. Good deal.

[h4p3]

I can confirm this for Austria too. A big retailer offers the PS3 bundled with SingStar and those 2 microphones for 299€.

[jsnepo]

awaiting negative Sony post

How much is the 160GB now?

[CrayzeeCarl]

PS3 cut to €249 by Italian retailer

[onken]

PS3 cut to €249 by Italian retailer

Holy crap 249, now that's a deal.

[gofreak]

PS3 cut to €249 by Italian retailer

Wow, that's a pretty incredible bargain.

I think Slim @ 299 seems pretty bankable now :)

[Tiduz]

about time.

still have my doubt about a slim this year.

i need a 2nd ps3 (Bluray player) and for games too, so id rather get a ps3 instead of a standalone player incase my launch unit YLODs.

[Tideas]

PS3 cut to €249 by Italian retailer

That's only 216 euros before tax. That's cheap! Convert to USD it's only $288!!

[Shadowlink]

I'm choosing if I should get the Slim or if the regular PS3 is getting a price cut. I'm hoping for a $299 PS3 which would be awesome.

[Jedy]

why no marketing? It looks like nobody knows anything about a pricecut except some gafmembers :D

[CrayzeeCarl]

That's only 216 euros before tax. That's cheap! Convert to USD it's only $288!!

Definitely a tough decision for anyone considering purchasing a PS3 soon. Take this incredible deal or wait for a slim? Hmm...

[Averon]

If the PS3 prices are this low in Europe, how are they selling now? Any Euro Gaffers have any anecdotal news they want to share? If the remaining PS3 stock is selling out fast, that bolds well for $299 Slim sales.

[sankt-Antonio]

i just hope that the slim will sell for the same if not for less...

edit: slim for 250€ and iam there day1

[gofreak]

Retailers will do their own marketing. These aren't official cuts, at least not yet, though I've no doubt unofficially Sony has been facilitating them.

Forget it. It'll be 299. I think you can take that to the bank.

[cw_sasuke]

Would make the Ps3 nearly as "cheap" as the PSP GO. Lol....

[sankt-Antonio]

Forget it. It'll be 299. I think you can take that to the bank.

i know, it will cost 299, but god be damned if i buy a system with less ports,cheaper plastic etc. for the same price...

Then get a current model at 299 and be happy.

i have a day1 599€ 60gb here... but i need a second one, because i moved out but my dad need his gt5p fix, so hes constantly getting on my nerves about the ps3, now if the slim comes out ill give him my fat ps3 ...

[CrayzeeCarl]

OP, if you're still around, would you care to edit the thread title to reflect the 249 euros price?
