Struggling Nintendo 3DS getting massive price cut
The Nintendo 3DS isn't exactly flying off shelves, with the console managing to shift just 710,000 units globally in the last quarter according to Nintendo's most recent financial results. That's less than the combined sales of older DS handheld…
PS3 price cut due this August in time for Christmas rush?
Industry experts are anticipating a substantial price cut for Sony's PlayStation 3 games console this August in the lucrative run-up to Christmas. Sony are expected to slash the price of their home console to an RRP of £199.99 at Gamescom…
Motorola Milestone gets a price-cut
If you were left feeling a bit underwhelmed by yesterday's Vodafone iPhone pricing, you'll be happy to hear that the pretender to the smartphone crown, Motorola's Milestone, is getting a pretty substantial price cut. Expansys' exclusivity deal for the handset…
Sony UK sort of cuts price of PlayStation3 – starts offering £40 discount on 40GB model
If you really, really must have a PlayStation3 right now, you might want to buy yourself one via Sony’s online shop SonyStyle.co.uk – as it’s currently offering a £40 discount on its cheapest model.
The deal takes the RRP of the Blu-ray-playing “entry level” 40GB machine down to an almost reasonable £249 including free delivery, with a nearly tempting…
DO NOT BUY A PLAYSTATION3 JUST YET – Sony's planning a price cut in March 2009
Here’s an amusing little faux pas to add to the 2.4MB, 124-page-long document I carry around with me at all times on a memory stick documenting all of Sony’s errors regarding PS3.
At a recent employee meet, the company apparently told its staff that PS3 would start to be “more competitive in price” from March of 2009, telling everyone the expensive Blu-ray console will be a little more affordable next Easter – and damaging sales from now until then, we’d imagine, as credit-crunched gamers beneath the fuel poverty line hold out for a price cut.
The report also revealed that Uncharted 2 would be shown to the world and that LittleBigPlanet would be announced for PSP, both in March ’09…
When rumours become FACTS – Xbox 360 only £129 from this Friday
And that is OFFICIAL. No more relying on dodgy scans and the assurances of 13-year-olds on internet forums. Xbox 360 Arcade, the non-hard drive model of the console, will cost £129 from this Friday.
The 60GB hard drive one, which Microsoft refers to as the plain old “Xbox 360” is also coming down in price, to £169, with the all-black Elite worrying PlayStation3’s arse by costing only £229. The war has just got DIRTY. Here’s what Microsoft’s chief European war commander, Neil Thompson, said…
Xbox 360 price cut – £159.99 in the UK from Friday
Crikey, that is cheap. Cheaper than the Wii and nearly half what Sony’s charging for a PlayStation3.
Of course, the new £159 refers to the entry level “Arcade” Xbox 360, which doesn’t come with a hard drive. But it does, fortunately, come with a 256MB memory card, so you’re still able to save your games. And a wireless controller. So you can play them…
UK iTunes prices to come down by 10% – thanks to EU pen-pushers
Hooray for European bureaucracy for once!
Apple has agreed to cut its UK iTunes prices by 10%, following pressure from the European Union’s anti-trust watchdog.
Prices for UK downloads were 10% higher than they were with the rest of Europe – which is unacceptable behaviour for companies within the modern, free European market…
