Got you all worked up with that headline, didn't I? I bet a few of you are even sporting wood, and furiously hunting for a bottle of hand lotion, aren't you? Well, keep it in your pants, freak, it's not quite what it seems.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, UK e-tailer Aria has dropped the price on the 60GB version of the PlayStation 3 (by a whopping 25GBP aka $49.06USD) only three days after its official launch. Their reasoning? Here's a quote;
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz founder and managing director Aria Taheri explained, "We're running a promotion to create market awareness. This offer will only run for a limited period, and we have a limited quantity of machines available at this price."
Recently, we've received a lot of conflicting reports on how well Sony's flagship product has been faring across the pond; some claiming it's failing utterly, some claiming it's the new iPod and a few claiming every console released so far has been purchased by Emma Bunton and quickly devoured. Until Prince William calls us back, the only thing we can be sure of is that the PS3 has been released on that side of the Atlantic and that I will never stop using that Churchill picture.

Still, it appears to be selling. I witnessed a Virgin store with a sign claiming 105 PS3s in stock on Sunday change the sign to 80 in stock on Monday. Who knows how many they sold preorder, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was the same again. So they're selling and very well.
GAME in the UK are the biggest scammers ever. If you must buy games from the highstreet, do it in Gamestation - at least they do decent retro for fair prices.
Burnout in glorious "full HD" is very appealing, though I feel I must rob a bank or something similar to achieve owning one of sony's black bitches.
What, who are you again?
