Barely weeks after launch, Sony is finding the UK population is not warming to its new console. With most of the launch stock still sitting on most stores shelves gamers are on the hunt for bargains during the Easter break, and WH Smith is hoping it will attract PS3 buyers to its stores after announcing it has cut £25 off the retail price.
The high-street giant has placed advertisements in The Sun newspaper promoting the new deal, offering the basic PlayStation 3 console pack for £399.99.
The offer is only available in larger stores and will end next Tuesday, April 10, after the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
Meanwhile, online e-tailer play.com has also cut the price of the PlayStation 3 to £399.99 and is offering free delivery, a free HDMI cable and a free copy of movie 'Click' on Blu-ray disc.
Could this Easter be the start of Sony finally selling their consoles to the UK people, or is the price still far too steep an asking price for clued up british people who refuse to be taken for a ride over the two tiered pricing of the US and UK markets?
Time will tell.
