Sony Computer Entertainment has just announced that the PlayStation 3 (PS3) entertainment system with 160GB hard disk drive, currently available at $299 and €299, will be available at a new price of $249 for North America and €249 for Europe/PAL territories.

SCE will also reduce the price of the PS3 system with 320GB HDD, currently available for $349 and €349, to $299 and €299. The new pricing will be immediately effective for North America and Europe/PAL territories, and starting August 18, 2011 for Japan.

Since its release in 2006, PS3 has gained support from fans around the world and its cumulative worldwide sales reached a milestone of 50 million units as of March 29, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, the worldwide cumulative number of software titles for the PS3 system exceeds 2,495 titles; downloadable PS3 games available on PlayStation Store exceeds 3,100 titles.
