As reported earlier, the impending death of the 60GB Sony PlayStation 3 has led to intense rumors as to what Sony will do when the 80GB model is the only unit left.
According to Arstechnica however, consumers will be getting what they have been waiting for for months. The price of the 80GB model will drop to $499 while Sony will introduce a new "base" model, a 40GB offering for $399, just $50 USD more than the rival Core Xbox 360.
The sources involved believe Sony will also bundle the upcoming Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray movie which is expected to be one of the biggest sellers for Blu-ray when it hits shelves in late October. Also expected is a price drop on the PS2 to $99 USD. That being said, dont expect to hear any official news from Sony on the new offering until at least October although we will be waiting and will report any updates.
