Sony increases PS3 price

Too cheap
Monday, 29 January 2007, 09:16
ENTERTAINMENT GEAR gear maker Sony has decided that the reason that its PS3 is not selling as well in Canada as it likes is because the most expensive console on the market is too cheap.

According to hereGamersReports Sony has upped the price for the PS3 in Canada by $40 dollars. The new price is Canadian $699.99. Both Best Buy and Futureshop have the console listed at the new price, the old list used to be $659.99.

The move brings Canada into line with what the US charges for the machine, although local users are fuming. It seems that it is just yet another PR own goal by Sony in the PS3 saga which has seen shortages, high prices and a badly managed launch. ยต
