Sony Computer Entertainment America announces plans to introduce a new 40GB model of its PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system. Beginning November 2nd, to further enhance the HD entertainment experience, the new 40GB PlayStation 3 model will come bundled with the blockbuster movie Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray Disc from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, and will be available in North America for a suggested retail price of $399 (USD/CND). The company also announces that effective immediately, the current 80GB PlayStation 3 model will be available in North America for $499 (USD/CND), $100 below the original launch price.

The new 40GB PlayStation 3 will no longer play PlayStation 2 titles, reflecting the availability of a more extensive line-up of PlayStation 3 specific titles. Consumers looking for backwards compatibility can take advantage of the limited PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility of the 80GB PlayStation 3.
