Just days after the European launch of PlayStation 3, UK retailer Aria.co.uk has slashed the price of the console to under GBP 400 - more than GBP 25 below the recommended retail price.
The 60GB PS3 launched in Europe last Friday with an official RRP of GBP 425 / EUR 599. However, it's now available on Aria's website for GBP 340.38 excluding VAT, or GBP 399.95 inclusive
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Nice one. i like it :P Though still better deal at virgin for me.
ps. there are no arguments for this "ps3 is not selling in the uk" as it sold 165,000...so all this shows is a retailer wanting to get in on the deal and is good news for anyone who wants to buy a ps3.
Should be no negative faces here.
fender: Well they will be wrong.
Let's play out the comments.
Negative:"ah they are reducing the prices already because they can't sell them"
response "the ps3 just broke records with the most sold consoles at launch. Do you still think they are not selling?"
negative "Yuh"
response "And why is that?"
negative "Cause cause...they reduced the price so they aren't selling..."
response "Ok...continue dreaming"
yes and they cant sell the PS3 ... lol only joking :p
but i do own a 360, i hope the PS3 doesnt sell that well to start off with, then maybe there will be a price drop then i can buy one myself :P
btw deepbrown, im a college student (in the UK) where can i use my card to buy a PS3 for less? ... didnt actually know i could do that...
Same here...i want a price drop.
Virgin.
