The 12GB Super Slim PlayStation 3 (http://www.amazon.com/PS3-12GB-System-Playstation-3/dp/B00E369SDM/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1377039231&sr=1-5&keywords=12gb&tag=vglnk-c882-20) will also see similar price cuts across America, with Sony reducing the price tag to $199 (http://www.amazon.com/PS3-12GB-System-Playstation-3/dp/B00E369SDM/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1377039231&sr=1-5&keywords=12gb&tag=vglnk-c882-20).
SCE president and CEO Andrew House confirmed the cut during Sony's Gamescom presentation, along with detailing a series of price cuts to next-gen titles.
Sony confirmed consumers who purchase titles such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Watch Dogs and Battlefield 4 on PS3 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-12GB-Super-Console/dp/B009DL2TBK/ref=zg_bs_676458011_3?tag=dcemu-21), will for a limited time be eligable for a "significantly reduced price" on the game's next-gen editions.
House said: "It's a great way to reward PS3 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-12GB-Super-Console/dp/B009DL2TBK/ref=zg_bs_676458011_3?tag=dcemu-21) gamers."
The CEO didn't reveal the level of discount players can expect on the blockbuster titles, but it's certainly a move designed to ease the transition between console generations for consumers.
