Sony has ruled out the possibility of lowering the price of its PlayStation 3 console, ahead of the widely rumoured introduction of a 500GB model at the E3 2010 video games expo in Los Angeles. Mark Howsen, sales director for Sony Computer Entertainment, told gaming website MCV that there had been no internal discussions about a price drop.
