Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announced a price reduction of the PlayStation 3 on Friday, a move that had been as much predicted as it was guessed at and erroneously reported.

But there was also the unveiling of a newer 40GB model, a move that sacrifices some of the functionality of the console in order to bring the price down further and position it very close to Microsoft's Xbox 360, its main competitor on the market.

GamesIndustry.biz sat down with UK managing director Ray Maguire to hear the full details on the company's latest move in Europe, why the time is right for a change in price, and the problems of being an early adopter.
