In this forum somebody said he is working for a shop in Australia and got a call how many 40 gig PS3 he want to order:
"I work for a Sony Store in Australia and my Playstation rep just called to ask how many 40GB consoles I wanted to order. Here are the details:
40 GB Hard Drive NO card Readers No PS2 Chipset (Basically no PS2 Compatability)
Australian RRP is $699 (compared to $999 for the 60GB), so thats a 30% price decrease. There are no 60GB consoles left.
Release date is October 12th. There you go guys, first official confirmation!"
The date fits to the date Sony wants to announce something for Europe. If thats true and the reduction is the same in Europe that should mean a 399 € 40 gig PS3 in Europe.
