Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) today announced plans to introduce a new 40GB model of its Playstation 3 (PS3) computer entertainment system beginning November 2. The new 40GB PS3 model will come bundled with the blockbuster movie Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray Disc from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, and will be available in North America for a suggested retail price of $399. The company also announced that effective immediately, the current 80GB PS3 model will be available in North America for $499, $100 below the original launch price.
The new 40GB PS3, however, will no longer play PlayStation 2 titles.
