Correction: PS2 €10 extra in Ireland

Sony Computer Entertainment Ireland yesterday stated that the PlayStation 2 price drop will leave the recommended retail price at €139.99 in the Republic of Ireland. At ‘around’ €19.99, the Memory Cards pricing remains the same as reported before.

On Monday, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe said the “PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system in Europe at €129.99 (£94.99) with immediate effect”. The pricing for the republic is – at today’s conversion rates – close to the UK pricing.

It’s worth repeating that prices for the PlayStation 3 in the Republic and Northern Ireland have still to be officially announced, the higher rumoured pricing puts the republic at around 30 euro above the 599 “euro” announced price.
