There were rumours that a PS3 price drop for europe would be announced at E3. As you may have heard, in the US the 60GB model's price was lowered by $100 a week or two ago. In addition, a new 80GB model has been announced. Not sure when or if that one comes to europe. But if you ask me this is pointless, there's little difference between 60 or 80GB. You're going to want to replace it anyway. I allready replaced mine with a 200GB one.
Sadly, at E3 Sony announced that the european price stays where it is. However, there is a new starter pack released which has an additional controller and two games bundled. This pack will cost the same as the old one did. It is to be released immediately, and I hear several stores allready have it in. And those aren't crap titles they're bundling either, apparently you have a choice of several including Resistance, Motorstorm, Genji 2 and Ridge Racer.
And if you don't like that, I guess there's a good chance that retailers will be selling their remaining stock of the original packs at a reduced price, though that hasn't been announced.
So, anyone getting aboard yet? There is still that little detail of there not being very many games worth getting for it yet, I admit. But there are several great-looking ones on their way now, and that new starter pack looks like a good deal to me.
