This year’s Black Friday Playstation 3 console sales saw a 245% increase from last year’s Black Friday sales. That’s the word from Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA). It shouldn’t be much of a surprise since the cost of the Playstation 3 system has come down significantly, while the storage space and bundled goods has increased since the PS3′s debut last year. The 60GB PS3 this time last year was $599. Now, you can get a 80GB PS3 with Motorstorm and five free Blu-ray movies for $499
