40GB Playstation 3 to replace 60GB console

Yup Sony has decided that with the release of the 40GB Playstation 3 there is no need for them to sell the more expensive 60GB version of the console to be sold in the UK. The reduction from £424.99 to £349.00 for the slightly lower storage Playstation 3 is a clear indication Sony is taking a more aggressive stance in trying to sell more consoles than Nintendo or Microsoft over the Christmas period. Just one word of warning if you are thinking of buying the cheaper 40GB Playstation 3 instead of the more expensive 60GB version and have lots of Playstation 2 games you might want to consider paying the extra money as the 40GB Sony Playstation 3 is NOT backward compatible with Playstation 2 games.

A spokesman for Sony said "We announced our reduced offering on the 60Gb model last week. We’re looking to sell our remaining 60Gb stock, after which the 40Gb model will be the only SKU available in Europe. We anticipate that the 60Gb stock should be available until Christmas, but of course it depends on how quickly it sells."
