Jack Tretton, SCEA president and CEO, said: Ã‚â€œThe new price on the 60GB PS3, coupled with our very strong software showing from E3, is certainly paying dividends in terms of impressive sales across the board at retail.Ã‚â€ Of more note though is independent US console figures from NPD for June, showing PS3 sales up 21% over May to 98,500 units. While promising, letÃ‚â€™s put this in context: the older Xbox 360 sold 198,400 units, up 28 per cent on May. The NPD figures for July will be interesting for the PS3, no doubt greatly boosted by the price cut, but can Sony expect a similar jump in European sales where it has substituted a much-desired price cut for a better bundle?-Martin LynchFull Story at Gizmodo

I think that I'm going to get one... Metal Gear Solid 4 just looks so good, and I love that series so much. Still that is not out until 2008 anyway, hopefully we'll have another price drop by then (Ã‚Â£300 is all I will ever spend on a console, and that still pushing it).

Of course, that price cut is only until they get rid of their 60gig stock. And really, is 123% that great? Do they mean 135% percent more or 35% more?
