New $399 PlayStation 3 Confirmed?

by Tim Stevens on October 2, 2007 at 10:08 AM

New $399 PS3 Model Confirmed?It seems last month's PS3 rumors are coming to fruition. Supposedly leaked documents from Best Buy are indicating that there's a new PS3 bundle on the way, one that will retail for under $400, making it the cheapest PS3 yet. The new bundle will include a 40 gigabyte hard drive, twice the capacity of the 20 gigabyte drive found in last year's cheaper $499 model, and will also include a copy of 'Spiderman 3' on Blu-ray disc. That's a big improvement over the copy of 'Talladega Nights' early-adopters got last year.

If this turns out to be true, the new, cut-price bundle would be a huge step toward getting Sony closer to a price point gamers would consider reasonable. It's $100 less than the current 80 gigabyte PS3 model and only $50 more than the Premium Xbox 360 bundle. However, the PS3 is still lacking great games, and with big hitters 'Lair' and 'Heavenly Sword' failing to deliver, it may still be a somewhat muted holiday for Sony's big black box as Microsoft basks in great sales for 'Halo 3' and Nintendo prepares for next month's release of the highly-anticipated 'Super Mario Galaxy.'
