After a strong launch it now appears that UK sales of the Sony PlayStation 3 have started to drop off, forcing two major retailers to slash their prices for the console.
WH Smith took out adverts in the Sun newspaper last week, promoting a £25 reduction in the retail price of the console. WH Smith has been offering the basic PlayStation 3 console pack for £399.99 over the bank holiday weekend.
But good news for those not finding out until today - the offer actually runs until Tuesday April 10.
Alternatively, online retailer Play.com has also cut the price of the PlayStation 3 to £399.99 including delivery.
Cutting 13 per cent, or £64.98, off its own package, Play.com is offering the Sony Playstation 3 PS3 Console with 60GB HDD, HDMI cable and a copy of the film Click on Blu-Ray, for £399.99.
