Hey, everyone! Been awhile hasn't it? This blog will focus on the recently announced Price Cut of the PS3 and US 80 GB upgrade.

I, being a Sony fan, am ecstatic about this most recent announcement. I'm glad to see the PS3 taking a step in the right direction for the US. However, what does this mean really? If you read my Xbox 360 Elite Blog, you will know that I bashed Microsoft for putting in too much unnecessary space in their console. Well, I believe that the PS3, even though it will now have 80 GB, can do more with their free space than what the 360 does. The PS3 has more downloadable games (Not to mention the 40 coming out this year and Warhawk and demos and expansions), hence needing more space than the 360. I'm glad the PS3 has gone ahead with the price cut, much to the delight of PS3 fans in the US.

Another thing I like about this is that now, a decently equipped version of the PS3(60 GB) is now as cheap as the old 20 GB version of the console, making a good version of it more affordable by $100. This means that anyone who couldn't afford the 60GB version before would be more likely to pick one up. Also, I like the fact that, unlike the launch of the PS3 which included a stupid movie, the 80 GB version is including one of their best games, Motorstorm, for free.

Overall, I think this is a good business decision for Sony. Now, Let's hope they can do more things like this in the future.
