Asda leads the charge with £250 offer for 80GB machine and two games in-store
Ahead of the anticipated PS3 price cut (and/or the possible unveiling of a PS3 Slim) announcement at Sony’s Gamescom conference tomorrow, the discounting of PS3 hardware on the UK High Street has begun thanks to national supermarket Asda.
As of today the retailer is offering what is described as a ‘limited promotion’ on 80GB machines, which offers the hardware plus two games for just £250 – that’s £50 less than the current UK RRP.
The store contacted by MCV was offering a bundle including recent game Terminator: Salvation and inFamous, though others are claiming that a number of mix-and-match titles are available as part of the promotion including Ghostbusters, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2.
Whether this is a discount in-line with Sony’s announcement tomorrow or an effort to clear stock ahead of the possible release of the PS3 Slim is yet to be seen.
MCV will be covering Sony’s Gamescom briefing as it happens – make sure you’re here from 18:00 tomorrow night.

Hmmmmm....
I'd rather wait for the Slim model. The old model with 2 games for £250 is decent, but that depends on what games you get with it. I still think Sony are living in the Dark Ages if it doesn't sell the Slim model for under £200 which is when most PS2 owner will upgrade.
yes...
Let's see what happens - im guessing perhaps around £200-225 mark, the former would be awesome and would indeed add some more nice sales for Sony!
They Have
@1:
Most PS2 owners have already upgraded. Who do you think bought all those Wii's?
The only people who are going to buy the slim are people who already own one of the other consoles.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
