Amazon leaks 25% PS3 price cut?

A new listing appeared on Amazon.co.uk today showing the 320 and 160 gigabyte models of the PS3 going for a vastly discounted rate. Could this be an early leak from Sony’s press conference?


The listings showed the 320gb model going for £215.20, a savings of £75.85 (26%) while the 160gb model is going for £192.00, down £63.30 (25%.)

The listings have since been altered, and no longer reflected the originally reported price cut.

So, why cut the price now? To promote Vita and the idea of owning both? Or to compete better with the 360?
