Following announcements of drop in prices of PS3 by $100 at Gamescom yesterday, the price of the 
80GB version of the console has been dropped by 20% to Rs19,990 in India. Hold on, the good news doesn’t end there, it will come bundled with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and GT5 Prologue.

No news on the release dates of PS3 slim in India as yet, but hopefully it will happen at the same time as it happens internationally. (September 1)
