Upon checking Sony's brand new website which showcases all its 3D compatible devices, we were amazed to see that the landing page stated that the PS3 starts from $199.99. Upon clicking the 'banner', we did not see any PS3 priced at $199.99 so there is a chance this could be an error, but it would be a pretty BIG error for Sony's offical 3D website to make.. Likewise, the PS3 is calling for a price-cut considering the price of the Wii and the arrival of Playstation Move. It seems there is every chance the PS3 may get its own very own budget model without a huge hard drive for this $199.99 price point.
On a related note. This doesn't appear to be any kind of 'special deal'. For example it states that the home theatre range starts from $549.99 and there is a model there priced at $549.99 inside the link. Moreover, this price-point would make 'sense' for Sony, the PS3 has been out for quite some time, we've heard of a new chip-set coming to life and its competitors both have options for systems at $199.99.
