http://kotaku.com/gaming/top/japanese-stor...ices-230297.php "PS3 sales in Japan haven't cooled off, they've frozen. Consoles sit on shelves as gamers wait it out: Waiting for actual games to appear or prices to drop. Retailers, on the other hand, are an impatient lot. Retailers are also buying "used" PS3s at much lower prices than previously, paying well under the original sticker price. Just look at how the Don Quijote in Akihabara is slicing 20 percent off the 20GB PLAYSTATION 3. Nice 20-20 irony. The 20GB version originally books at 49,980 yen (US $412), but is being offered for 39,980 yen ($329) in a sale ending February. The shop is knocking a flat 10,000 yen ($82) right now. Japanese bulletin board 2chan reports that this at other Don Quijotes as well. It's interesting to check out the PS3 vibe at 2chan; Reasons for not buying go from "there are no games I want" to "video stores don't rent Blu-ray movies."" Today's Sony Bad News is brought to you by the letters L, O and L. |

Slashing prices won't do anything about the lack of decent games out there. Sony is looking pathetic with the PS3 so far. I'm really disappointed in them and kind of feeling sorry for it. I'm hoping they can make a comeback later in the year. Price drops are good for customers, but not very pleasing for the companies. |
