...wait until Easter - the price is set to go down. According to rumours surrounding the Sony Computer Entertainment Staff Annual Briefing yesterday, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe head David Reeves said the pricing of the PlayStation 3 is set to get "more competitive" from Easter 2009. In some crazy, mixed-up world, that may mean that the pounds and the pence are going to have a race to see who's better. In our normal, mundane world though, that means a price cut.
 
According to PS3 fansite D+pad (http://www.dpadmagazine.com/2008/11/22/huge-sony-info-blowout/), Sony's console is outselling Microsoft's Xbox 360 in PAL territories, with a bigger installed user base. SCEE is currently the darling of Sony's games division, eclipsing SCEJ and SCEA in terms of sales. D+Pad's source added that sales of the PS3 in Europe have put the accounts ‘into the black'.
 
No exact date was leaked for the PS3 price drop but seeing as how the eagerly-awaited Killzone 2 is slated for a March release, don't be surprised if the two go hand in hand. Sony had better pray that there's a quick turnaround in the world economy or, price drop or no, there are going to be less and less people with money burning a hole in their pocket by the time we're tucking into chocolate eggs. And those hard-up parents who shelled out on a PS3 this Christmas in the vain hope of silencing their whingeing offspring are going to be plenty mad that they could have waited three months and saved some dough. Plus, the lure of a £130 360 may still prove too much for some, particularly in these economically tight times.
