Sony India Cuts 40GB PS3 Price

[Aman27deep]

With Christmas inching closer, consumer electronic companies are finding ways to lure customers. Sony India has announced a price reduction on its 40GB PS3 console. The console now costs Rs. 22,990, which is Rs. 2,000 less from the original price. Sony is also bundling a free game along with it.

For those who are still unacquainted of the features, PS3 s heart is the cell broadband engine processor and is equipped with a Blu-Ray drive, 40GB hard drive to store all the saved game and downloaded content, Wi-Fi and HDMI connectivity support.

Sony expects that such a price reduction will spur PS3 sales and would urge gamers to start gaming right away with the included free game.

^ rs.23K is too costly for the Indian masses. but being Sony, they r only thinking for the Elite(read: rich) gamers.

The free game would be Motorstorm 2 or Uncharted/Resistance

2K cut + free game is better than nothing.

Sorry, noob question.

With a game blu ray disc required, why would i still require hdd space ?

To save games, faster loading time and more multimedia content.

You basically have to install all games like in a PC. Only a few like PES dont require any installation, and some like Ninja Gaiden will give you an option to either install it or not.
