PS3 $100 Price Drop Time Limited

Sony has lowered the 60GB PS3 from $600 to $500, and introduced a 80GB version for $600. Apparently, that's only half the story.

The 60GB version has emotion chip, so the PS2 backward compatibility is nearly 100%. The 80GB version does not, thus it's cheaper to make. But the compatibility is around 88%.

Also, 60GB version production has stopped. So once the existing inventory of 60GB version sold out, it will just be the 80GB version for $600.

Sony Europe CEO confirms this last night.
