European retailer hacks 100 from PlayStation 3 in run-up to gamescom

If you know anything about European retailer Fnac, you know its not the go-to place for bargains. However, its this very outlet thats now selling an 80GB PlayStation 3 bundle (which includes the console, a single controller and inFamous) for €100 less than its "everyday low price" as of yesterday. Of course, one major French retailer slashing the price on a system thats long overdue for a break isnt reason in and of itself reason to believe anythings on the horizon, but pair this up with everything else weve heard over the past few weeks, and wed say all the vague omens are pointing to a leaner, cheaper and altogether more dashing PS3 on August 18th. In our magical fantasy land, anyway.

Update: Our friends at Engadget Spanish just let us know that theres been a price drop in Spain as well. Getting warmer...
