After Aria.co.uk decided to drop £25 from the price of a PlayStation 3 (PS3) console in the UK, some more retailers have copied the move in an effort to attract more potential buyers. More than 165,000 PS3 consoles were sold in the UK quickly, making the it the fastest selling "home console" in the territory. The following week however, retailers reported an (inevitable) slump in sales and interest.
Play.com and WH Smith have followed the move made by Aria and have dropped the price of the 60GB version of the PS3 console to £399. Play.com will even throw in an HDMI cable and a copy of the Adam Sandler movie Click on Blu-ray. WH Smith's offer is limited, extending to just April 19 but Play.com has set no limit for now.
Play.com also currently sells the Xbox 360 Core for just £149.99, an offer that is set to expire on April 10th.
