No price cut in Europe, but high value pack launched. SCEE earlier this morning announced the launch of a new value ‘Start Pack’, comprising a PS3, two first party games and two Sixaxis controllers.
Available with immediate effect, priced at Euro 599 (£425), the two titles available in the pack will vary from country to country, but are likely to mainly comprise Resistance: Fall Of Man and Motorstorm.

SCEE has chosen not to adopt a similar strategy to the US, which has cut the price of the 60GB version by $100, at the same time introducing an 80GB model. The saving offered by the Starter Pack, however, equates to around £115.

In the UK, retailers will be able to offer a ‘pick and mix’ of first party titles, including Formula One, Genji and Ridge Racer 7, as well as Resistance and Motorstorm.

“With sell-through of over 1.2 million units in the SCEE territories to date, PlayStation 3 has proved to be an instant and huge success,” said SCEE president David Reeves.
