Blu-rayless PS3 Rumored

February 25th, 2009


The PS3 is by far the most expensive console out there and sales have been suffering as a result. Much of its initial success was driven by its built-in Blu-ray player. Despite the fact that the component was expensive it was offset by the fact that the PS3 was for some time the best value for a Blu-ray player on the market. Now there are more affordable Blu-ray players on the market and the PS3 has been dropping off in sales as a result.

Rumors have been circulating for some time now that the PS3 will be getting a price cut, likely around $100, but the big question would be how Sony is going to cut production costs. Some analysts have predicted that Sony will soon be offering up a PS3 that lacks a Blu-ray drive. Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to make much sense, due to the fact that many PS3 games are too large to fit onto a standard DVD disc.
