Sony cerca di correre ai ripari e abbassa il prezzo della Playstation 3 da 20 GB in Giappone a 49.980 yen. In dollari l'equivalente sarebbe di 430 dollari. Ribassi anche negli States? Non è al momento stato comunicato ufficialmente. Per noi europei ci sarà ancora molto da aspettare e quindi Sony non si è esposta in proposito.
Ecco il comunicato stampa Sony:
