Great.

The price here in Denmark is $900.
This would bring it down to about $750.

I'll be very suprised if they issue a UK price cut so soon after releasing the console in Europe. Remember it's been 9 months since the USA release, but only 3 months since the European release.

If they do price drop the PS3, I'm guessing of a £75 drop = £350 RRP, which will still be £50 over the X360 Premium pack, unless MS price drop as well, which I think they will.

My guesses are then:

PS3 = £350 RRP
X360 Core = £150 RRP
X360 Premium = £250 RRP
X360 Elite = £300 RRP

MS will make sure that there consoles are still lower than the PS3.

Great for the PAL areas but I think 20% would've been a sweet spot for that territory.

monoknacker6133d ago

A price cut is confirmed not that it will be 17.5%

Antan6133d ago

At the very least i guess 349.99. Then chip away over the next 12 to 18 months .

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
