The Times The Times (subscription needed) have come across documents stating Sony's new console will launch at £300 in the UK. If true this is significantly cheaper than the predecessor PS3, that went for around £425 when it launched almost six years ago. Of course, the PS3 launched at a ridiculous price and this is more in line with what people expect to pay for a new console and right in line with what Nintendo are asking for the Wii U (premium that is).
