Already remembering good old days with Golden Axe? Well, Sega is going to take you back with a new console that will include several classic games, plus some other new games that you will be able to play with their accelerometer controllers (yes, with movement sensors).

Sega Zone is the name of the new console, which will have included classic games like Sonic and Knuckles, Ecco the Dolphin, Golden Axe or Alex Kidd. Besides those, there are going to be included as well 30 games more (16 sports and 14 arcade type).

These 16 sports games included will be able to play with the full functionalities of the wireless controllers with movement sensors, just like Nintendo’s Wii.

For now, the console will be released in the UK only, but we are assuming that if it has a good response there, the availability could appear worldwide. And here comes the coolest part: The price will be 50 pounds (around €57).

Here are some screenshots:

PS3 price drop (prediction)

Arvind Bhatia, analyst from Sterne Agee, has an stunning prediction for Play Station 3: it is expected a considerable price drop by $100.

Hard to believe? Here’s his opinion: “Industry sources indicate Sony is planning a $100 price cut on the PS3 in mid-August, just prior the launch of Madden (8/18) and the start of the back to school shopping season. This will naturally be a positive for the industry.”

I’m sure that, if this is happening, will make a very important hit in the market, considering previous reports about Blu-Ray high insertion level among users making this a “here to stay” media format. Adding to the mix, the leaked photos that appeared that, could be, the new slim model for PS3:

How are other consoles going to compete with that? Xbox it’s ready to make a similar price cut and maintain the price difference with PS3?

We’ll have to wait and see.
