Sony Officially Drops PSX prices In Japan

According to Gamesindustry.biz, Sony has dropped the price of their PSX, PVR hybrid by two-thirds.

“The company quietly dropped the price of the low-end PSX system, which incorporates a 160Gb hard drive, to 44,800 Yen (333 Euro), while the high-end system, boasting a 250Gb hard drive, will nowhave an RRP of 59,800 Yen (444 Euro).

These latest drops shave 15,000 Yen (111 Euro) off the low-end system’s price tag, and 20,000 Yen (149 Euro) off the high-end one – but when combined with some earlier price drops, which also happened without fanfare a few weeks ago, the cut is even more drastic.”

Sales of the PSX have lagged since its introduction. There is no word on whether Sony plans to discontinue the PSX, but we would not be surprised to see it land in the console graveyard.
