PS3

Is it already a year ago since Sony used Gamescom to unveil the PS3 Slim?

This year the announcement was not as ground-breaking but handy if you were looking to upgrade your console’s memory.

In September there’ll be a spanky new 320GB model (which will replace the existing 250GB model) which will come bundled with Move as well as a 160GB model PS3 which will phase out the current 120GB.

The 320GB will cost £299 and the 160GB for £50 less – personally I’d stump up the extra 50 notes and get my a 320gig bundled job ;)

The PlayStation Move motion controller will drop in the UK on September 15th and has a RRP of £34.99, with the PlayStation Move navigation controller pegged at £24.99. The starter pack that comprises a PlayStation Move motion controller, PlayStation Eye and a Starter disc is priced at RRP £49.99.

Microsoft Kinect for Xbox Gets UK Price

by Jay Garrett on July 20, 2010

Microsoft has now gone official with the UK price of their body-sensing motion-controlled gaming doopher.

The Xbox add-on that the big M is hoping will kick the Wii and Move into the curb will cost the people of Blighty £130 for a Kinect Sensor to plug into your current Xbox 360, and one game – Kinect Adventures.

The bundle of Kinect, game and a shiny new Xbox 360 Slim will hit you up for £250.

Games look to cost around the £40 mark.

What do you think to those prices? Well, bear in mind that the UK are suffering again with Brit tax – Buy the Kinect sensor in the states you pay $150 which is closer to £100.

Why do we have to pay an extra £30?
