Globe lowers iPhone acquisition barrier with GText 500 plan

After lowering the cash outlay for Apple iPhone 3Gs last week, Globe has silently updated their website again! This time, get a discounted iPhone for a lower post-paid plan.

A sharp-eyed reader informed me that Globe is now offering a GText 500 plan for the iPhone 3G with a discounted P29,000 price for the 8GB and P34,300 for the 16GB. Substantial discounts of P8,499 and P9,499 respectively.

 

Globe iPhone 3G pricing reduced before launch

 It's usually not a good sign when you a company drops pricing, even before the product is out in the market. Remember the PS3 pricing debacle of last year?

Apparently, due to 'popular demand,' Globe is reducing (dropping is such an extreme exaggeration) prices for the Apple iPhone 3G by around P1,500 for the cash-out portion across all plans, including prepaid.

Just wondering... is the demand not popular enough to merit a bigger price reduction?
