Rumor: Sony Big Bang Announcement Coming October 12th

Silver Mirror | September 29, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 
Another day another rumor. Recently a Gamepro France magazine has had a article translated and according to it we should expect big things from October 12th. Is this the announcemnt of the 40GB PS3? Perhaps the much awaited price cut? Only time will tell
September 28, 2007 - During this summer 2007, the international living rooms will have been as numerous as the advertisements will have been rare. If one were to give a progress report on the revelations resulting from E3 (July, in the USA), Games Convention (August, in Germany) and Tokyo Game Show (September, in Japan), not sure that there would be what to leap of his armchair. A new PSP Slim & Light, the exit of X360 Elite and the tariff fall of the other versions of X360, or advertisement of the pad Dual Shock 3 of the PS3, here is in substance the advertisements manufacturers. Without forgetting the interrogations around the supposed fall obviously - and waited - price of the PS3, which was simply concretized by the replacement in the USA of the pack 60GB (sold for the circumstance 500$) by a pack 80GB coming to replace old while beginning again until its price: the famous 600$ considered to be too high by considerable actors of the videoludic scene, to start with editors who hopelessly await a fall in the price of the PS3 to see their expensive productions being sold. Editors who go even sometimes until tancer Sony on the subject: Ubisoft, Eidos and Square (to quote only them) for example still recently firmly gave an opinion in favour of a fall in the price of the PS3. Without success for the moment…


"Indeed, it seems that the dated October 12, 2007 one was chosen by Sony to make an enough important advertisement to be qualified in-house “big-bang”…

    Alright the first one who starts hyping this shit and then blaming Sony for any kind of disappointment should be lynched instantly.

    A price cut has been rumoured for awhile and if it proves to be true, I can only hope that this one affects the UK for once ...

    I don;t like the sound of this 40GB PS3 either as its rumoured to not have any backwards compatibility and no have any USB slots (( ... or something like that ^^ ))

    Either way I'm still getting a PS3 for Christmas

    A price cut? A 40gb PS3?
    Hopefully not.
    I hope it's an actually interesting announcement that hasn't been rumoured about for the last 6 months

    Interesting, I hope it's something useful and not just a bunch of random crap in order to get more sales.

    Why not just make the 60gb ps3 cheaper instead of creating a hole new console just for it to be cheaper.
