Official: PS3 Price-Cut and New Model Coming
Sony confirms a 40 GB machine will hit the U.S. in time for the holidays.

October 18, 2007 - The new, much-rumored U.S. version of the $400 40 GB PlayStation 3 will be available in retail stores as early as Nov. 2, Sony Computer Entertainment of America president Jack Tretton confirmed today.

Industry watchers have been predicting the new model's emergence for weeks, and Tretton made it official in an interview with the Reuters financial news service today. The model has already made its way to Europe and Japan.

"I think the educational curve is starting to be broached with the general consumer," Tretton told Reuters, when asked about his expectations for the PS3 through the end of the year. The system lags far behind the Xbox 360 and the Wii in sales.

In addition to the new, cheaper model (which will not be backwards-compatible with PlayStation 2 games), Sony also plans to cut the price of the existing 80-gigabyte version from $600 to $500
