Did you catch much media coverage of the PS3 announcement yesterday or this morning? I thought The Mirror was being optimistic when it reported that the machine would be 'priced at just under £300'. However, the Sun, clearly unpurturbed by reports that stand-alone Blu-ray players will probably retail at around £700, has told its readers:
"Sony is still keeping the price a secret - although it is expected to cost around £250 - a similar amount to its fiercest rival, Microsoft's Xbox 360."
I was too embarrassed didn't have time to check out The Daily Star and unfortunately their website seems totally unnavigable via Safari. I did notice, however, that for a cover story, they've gone for 'I got drunk... and woke up in Africa.' I wish I'd bought it now.
Anyway, the Sun delves hastily into the nitty-gritty of the PS3's tech specs while The Mirror says that it will have 'broadband, digital photo storage and video chat'. Forget the revolutionary Cell processor or entirely new High Definition media drive then...
