psn id: gingo... ps3 needed a boost in uk and a price cut was the perfect catalyst for better sales hopefully this means a lot of sales through christmas and beyond

This is quite good for sony, and I really hope this will help boost their sales and thus encourage developpers like capcom to concentrate a great deal on the ps3 like they did with the ps2

this is good  i just want to know when the 40 gig ps3 comes to the U.S.

Bart, Lisa look it's selling...Woo-hoo!...the PS3 60GB model is selling....it's selling....See Marge, people like this model and it has started to sell ....it's....it's...being discontinued...Doh!

Really good news! hope the new 40GB SKU helps bring the sales up faster.

thats very good news for all you people that are getting a ps3 now your in luck because within the next 3 months the good games will start rolling in and if your gettijng a 40 gig backwards compatibility wont be an issue when your jackin in with socom confrontation if anybody forgot  its dropping in November

This is not news. Everyone knew this would happen. It's going to be worse during/after the holidays.

very good news, im happy.

Resistance Fall of Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

One year and still strong =O

I'm deeply amazed....

PlayStation3 is thw ay to go!

We need to do a shat load better than catch up... If we started selling 100,000 units per month MORE than Wii for every month here on in - it would take more than 15 years just to be equal. For Xbox 360 we seriously have to out sell it by a big number - like double. Otherwise we will still be last two years from now.

The 60GB with BC was a good model - why cant they just reposition the 80GB with BC and push harder on the price. With devs leaving in droves there is no time for half measures. They also have to do some propper advertising on TV and in mainstream publications.

I dont know why everyone is fretting. eventually the PS3 will come good and outsell all other consoles, it is the only TRUE next Gen console on all fronts. It will eventually repeat the PS2's success and sell over 100Million units and again Sony will dominate.

I've just checked amazon uk now (Oct 15th 9:35AM GMT), and actually the PS3 is second behind Football manager 2008. Rankings:

1. Football manager 2008

2. Sony Playstation 3 Console (60GB)

3. Halo 3 (Xbox 360)

4. Nintendo Wii Console

5. HDMI Cable (PS3)

this will afect sales all over Europe in an unexpected way...the next 6 to 7 months will be crucial to ps3...it's a pain that the launch date of many games had to be delayed...but I believe that everyone understands that it only means more quality when it comes down to  the end product...this will make 2008 the year of the turnover...I wonder what Bill Gaitas  is thinking right now. (oh just fyi,gaitas means dik in portuguese) hehehe

And the freakin' wii is still ahead.I don't even know why so many people buy that thing.

Because its cheaper and has some innovative? ^^ Regardless at least Sony is picking up on lost ground it had in the beginning and whether it can take hold of europe in general (eliminating the wii's lead) then they can focus on doing this with other regions.

Who cares about the wii the wii isnt even in competition with 360 and ps3 and for sure not ps3.  They are marketing to an entire different group.  I guess they figured to make a system that wouldnt be in direct competition and make another mistake of being crushed by playstation.  ALSO WOOT!! PS3
