In this age of instant global communications and online shopping it’s harder than ever for big companies to treat individual markets, well, individually. Realising that many Kiwis will be looking enviously at the PS3 price cuts and bigger hard drives those spoilt Americans are enjoying and feeling left out, Sony New Zealand have today released the PS3 Starter Pack. Priced at the usual $1199 point, gamers now get two Sixaxis controllers instead of one plus two of the best selling games; Resistance Fall Of Man and MotorStorm. Oddly, the Starter Pack will only be available until September 30, Sony probably figure a little time limited offer like this will spur sales during the traditionally quiet lead up period before the Christmas buying frenzy. It’s not a price cut, but it’s something.
