Sony releases £299 PS3 lite
Sony has released a stripped-down Playstation 3 for £299 and slashed the price of its regular Playstation 3 to £349.
The price drop comes as it remains firmly in last place in the Xbox360-Wii-PS3 shoot out.
According to Sony, the cheaper PS3 will lack backwards compatibility with Playstation 2 titles and considering there are only 65 games available for the PS3, this seems incredible.
The Playstation 2 and 1 continue to hold some gaming gems and with the Blu-ray - HD DVD war getting un-clearer by the day, the low end PS3 looks a bit of a gamble to me.
The PS3-lite has a 40GB hard disk, rather than a 60GB version present on the top end PS3 and the new model has had two USB ports and the memory card slot lopped off its specifications.
The £349 PS3 comes bundled with two games and looks to be the console to go for.
