Sony Europe Launches PS3 Starter; Gives Hints of 120 GB PS3

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) President David Reeves has hinted at the possibility of a new SKU for PlayStation 3 in Europe, which may possibly accommodate a hard drive capacity of 120GB.

Reeves also commented on the reasoning behind Sony’s decision to offer European consumers a Starter Pack rather than an actual price cut, stating, “We believe added value works in the PAL territories, we don’t think it’s necessary to reduce the price”, he said. “We think that consumers want added value in Europe. We think it’s the right decision.”

Announced last week, the Starter Pack will retail for GBP 425/EUR 599 and contains a 60GB PS3 console, two Sixaxis pads and two first party titles; the bundle is scheduled to go on sale throughout the UK and Europe by July 18th and August 1st, respectively.
