Sony Confirms No PS3 Price Drop For US

Sony Computer Entertainment America have confirmed to 1up that the recently announced Japanese PlayStation 3 price drop announced will not affect US pricing.

Although the Japanese price of a 20gig PS3 has now been lowered to 49,980 yen (US$429) the US version of the same console will still retail at $499 meaning American gamers will pay an extra $70. There is some good news though as the inclusion of the HDMI slot in the 20gig version of the console will apply to all territories across the globe.

There is still no news if European gamers will get price cut next mark, after making us wait so long a small price drop would be nice
