All the people out there who’ve been contemplating picking up a PlayStation 3 may be happy to know that the console (40 GB version) has now become cheaper by Rs. 2000 so it costs Rs. 22,990 as opposed to Rs. 24,990. Here’s what PlayStation India’s head honcho Atindriya Bose had to say:

“We are excited to bring to Indian consumer offers like these during the Christmas. This not only gives a boost to gaming in India but also makes the PlayStation 3 more affordable than ever. We recognize the need of the Indian gamers and stand committed to develop gaming as the most interactive entertainment mode.”

I still don’t understand how a Rs. 2000 drop makes this console “more affordable than ever”.
