10:34 During E3 last week it was reported that Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbum was claiming to have received word from Sony chiefs that PS3 would launch in Japan with a sub 50,000 yen (£255, $465) price tag.
Now Japanese website Impress PC Watch is revealing a new figure, stating that its business cohorts have been informed by Sony Computer Entertainment that PS3 will launch with a sub 40,000 yen (£203, $372) price tag.
It's getting cheaper every week.
Anyway, there's been no official announcement on the launch price of PS3 from Sony of course, but the latest suggested pricing figures to emerge have sparked speculation that the company is planning to echo PlayStation's and PS2's launch price tag - in Japan at least at 39,800 yen - for PS3.
Sony would presumably go down the same road with PS3 launch price tags in other territories. But it's all speculation at this stage."
