    [PS3] Sony Preparing Hack-Proof PS3 SKU

    Sony Preparing Hack-Proof PS3 SKU Everything HQ



    With all the recent price drops circulating Sony’s PlayStation 3 console and even reports suggesting the company may even introduce an official price drop, you can’t help wonder why Sony are really doing this for. If they really wanted to drop the price of their machine the best opportunity would have been at E3 last year. So, there must be a motive behind the recent price drops from major retailers – Sony are reportedly looking into a hack-proof PS3 SKU.

    According to what I have been told by an anonymous source Sony are already deep into plans of developing a hack-proof PS3 system. This is mainly due to the recent leaks of Killzone 3 which has worried Sony of their console becoming a mainstream threat to piracy.

    The hack-proof SKU will be a slim PlayStation 3 model and will contain a 300GB hard drive as an incentive to purchase the hack-proof system – the price of the SKU will be £186.99 ($300), my source informs me. The scheduled launch is unsure at this time due to Sony seeing if they can win the battle in the courts against the root of all the PS3 hacks – George Hotz.

    Sony is essentially trying to get rid of all the old SKUs with these price drops – and even their own price drop incoming possibly – so it makes way for their new hack-proof model.

      What price drops are we talking about here? Is it possible I might see something cheaper then $300 for a PS3 and the Show?

        all rumors. this one is showing at $300 for a 300gb hack free system. So if sony is doing a price drop then you will probably see them in the $200 ranges for a 160 gb console

        when will that happen? who knows

            I guess it will be a waiting game. Hopefully they announce something before the show comes out. If you see a deal, make sure you post it. Thanks!

              Looks like you and I are in the same boat. We want the Show, but we don't have PS3s.

                Shit! I just checked and the nearest Kmart is a 45 minute drive from Madison. Hopefully someone else picks up on the deal.

                  If you don't have a PS3 already or are looking into replacing/getting another one, this looks to be a sick deal.

                  Definitely Christmas-type shit.

                    Did I miss something? Did a post get deleted or something? I know there have been double posts galore lately and this site is running slow as dog shit for me.

                    Also, who wrote this article, a third grader? What's with all the grammatical errors?
