Sony have announced tonight that the PS3 Starter Pack, which for the inattentive includes a 60GB PS3, two Sixaxis (Sixaxi?), Resistance and MotorStorm, will go on sale in Australia on August 2. And yes, in case you missed the initial announcement, it's still AUD$999.95 (USD$878.90). Or, in laymans terms, one thousand dollars. Sony, you're trying, bless you. The games are a start. But a grand is still taking the piss.
