Redesigned model boasts built-in power supply; 25 per cent price drop likely
Thought PlayStation 2 hardware sales were going to quietly disappear after the revenue frenzy of Christmas? Think again – Sony is preparing to introduce a new, cut-price model of the console in early 2008.
MCV can exclusively reveal that this ‘compact’ PS2 will hit the US at just $99 in the New Year – a reduction of $30 from its current selling price of $129.
If a similar percentage cut is introduced in the UK, retailers can expect to sell the revamped system for just £75 – or maybe lower.
The new version has a built-in power supply for the first time in the console’s history – allowing the platform holder to manufacture it more economically and sell it at the bargain price.
