Sony’s Playstation branded tablet named unimaginatively as, Tablet S seems a little unpopular, prompting in a price drop. The price drop is almost 20% or $100 off the base price, which means both the 16GB and 32GB versions cost $400 and $500 respectively.

The tablet runs on Android, and sports a Tegra 2 processor.

Earlier it received support for Dualshock controllers, which we covered here. Price drop is not a good sign, because it seems like the sales aren’t up to Sony’s expectations, although, this price drop may change the tablet’s fortunes.
