Echochrome, a platformer based on Escher-esque optical illusions. The level designers were obviously either mathematical geniuses or on serious drugs

Yeah, that looks great. Right up my street. The only question is, what platform to get it on (it's on PS2, PSP and PS3, I think)?

You think that looked cute?

Was your nursery decorated by Hieronymus Bosch?

It's good to see that Sony are actually still bastards. When is a price cut not a price cut?

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=26704

SCEE president David Reeves has told GamesIndustry.biz that the 60GB PlayStation 3 will no longer be available in the US after stock sells out - which he predicts will occur by the end of the month

"All they're doing is taking their stock in trade that they've got at the moment of the 60GB model, marking the price down and it will all be gone by the end of July."

When asked to clarify if this will mean the end of the 60GB model, Reeves answered, "In America, yes."

What's that you say? Europe? getting shafted? again?

Ah well, business as usual then...

It more a case of US *and* Europe getting shafted. Equal opportunity shafting.

I love the bit where he's asked about if it's expensive.

When asked if he thought GBP 425 / GBP 599 was still a high price to ask consumers to pay Reeves replied, "It is, but surprisingly, people are paying that amount of money for it."

Well, there's a surprise, no UK price cut, then:

Eurogamer wrote:Sony will not be cutting the price of the PlayStation 3 in Europe or releasing a 80GB model - instead it will be offering a Starter Pack containing the console, two games and an extra controller for GBP 425, GamesIndustry.biz is reporting.
