The new PlayStation 3 (PS3) will hit Japanese stores on 11 November, with the US and Europe following less than a week later, Sony has announced.
The console will come in two versions starting at $499 in the US and 499 euros (£341) in Europe.
Sony announced the prices on the eve of the E3 games expo in Los Angeles.
The PS3 is the successor to the best-selling PlayStation 2 and will compete with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii.
The machines make up the next wave of video gaming. The Xbox 360 is already available, while the Wii is due out later this year.
