Playstation 3 Price and Pricing



A Japanese newspaper is claiming that Sony said PS3 will come out for less than $465. Analysts are also speculating that Xbox 360 will launch for less than $400. That's a lot of clams.

Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbum claims the company has offered the first hint as to a price point. According to the May 17 article, Sony officials told the paper that the PS3 will go on sale in Japan with a launch price of "less than 50,000 yen" - approximately $465 or UKP 255 at current exchange rates.
