No PS2 price cut in UK

Sony has confirmed that despite the PS2 price cuts announced for both Europe and North America, the UK price of the machine is set to remain unchanged.

An SCE UK spokesperson told MCV that neither [the European or North American price cuts] effect the UK – the price will remain the same here”.

The move is perhaps not surprising seeing as the machine is already available for under 100 in the UK – the current RRP is 94.99.

Plus, with Nintendo recently raising the trade price of the Wii owing to the weakness of the Pound, UK prices are already under pressure.
