New PS3 Models Possibly On the Way and PS3 Price-Cut Not Happening

According to the recent RRA entry lists ‘CECH-4205B’ and ‘CECH-4205C’. It seems to match the PlayStation 3 Super Slim (CECH-4000) and is highly likely that the firm might be bringing out new PlayStation 3 models despite the fact that Sony has recently said that the hardware will not be getting a PlayStation 3 price-cut anytime soon.

Sony Computer Entertainment UK managing director Fergal Gara has stated that

“The PlayStation 3 is a system where it hasn’t been particularly easy to get the costs down.

“There’s no plans as yet”

“We continue to look at opportunities, there may or may not be any more, I genuinely can’t answer to that,” he added.

“But it will certainly be a more keenly priced machine in relative to PlayStation 4. It will sit there as a viable entry level machine for years to come. It will be different by territory as to how long its life is. There’s still a lot of love for PS3.”

Let us know if you’re expecting to see new PS3 models prior to PlayStation 4 release in the comments below.

PS3’s price has been officially dropped in India after the announcement at GamesCom. International prices for PS3 are $250, 250 Euros and 199 Pounds, and India follows this with a Rs 3,000 drop on the 160GB model and a Rs 3,700 drop on the 320GB Move bundle.

It remains to be seen whether the price drop will result in explosive sales, since the drop is a tiny but meaningful one. This should help Sony a bit during the holidays to meet their FY 2012 projections.

You can officially buy the PS3 at Rs 16,900 for the 160GB model and Rs 19,990 in India.
