40GB PS3 With Spidey 3 Swings $399 On 2nd November, 80GB PS3 $499 Now

The 40GB Sony PS3, bundled with Spider-Man 3, will hit US shores for $399 on 2nd November. The 80GB model will cost $499 now, a $100 drop from the original launch price. However, the new 40GB model can’t play PS2 games. A pity though.

“We’re pleased to offer the consumer a lower price point without sacrificing the core technology components that make PS3 the most advanced high-definition entertainment system available. Every PS3 comes with a Blu-ray drive, HDMI output, an integrated Wi-Fi connection, Cell Broadband Engine and a built-in hard-drive,” said Jack Tretton, President and CEO, SCEA.
