The PS3 Slim isn't the only PS3 model that's coming in at under US$ 300 at retail. In accordance with all of the rumors, Sony has announced a price cut for all PS3s currently available in the US market.

Effective tomorrow, all PS3 systems will get a US$ 100 price cut. If you've been waiting to buy a PS3, now's the time. All that's left now is to see how this price drop will help Sony's sales, as well as what Microsoft will announce to counter it.

Sad to hear Sony is loosing all that money because some high school dropouts complain the PS3 is too pricy for their poor hands to afford. Either way though, hope it knocks some of them 360 fanboys down once and for all, now theirs no reason not to buy a PS3.

People who get this and not wait a couple of weeks for the slim are idiots. If slim has backwards compatibility, I would sell my fat one for $200 and get me a slim.



I don't care what people say about the Slim. To me it looks great and I just want to say one thing:



IT'S ABOUT F-ING TIME THEY DROPPED THE PRICE AND SHUT THOSE F-ING 360 FANBOYS AND BROKE BI***** WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PRICE.

it only costs them 240$ to make a PS3 judging from When PS3 was launched at 800$ to make (sold for 600$) its 70% less now which brought me at 240$ to make a PS3 now for them so they make about 60$ off each PS3 now.

honestly, i think that the only reason broke-box people r hatin' ps3 is cause they simply dont have da cash(not being big-headed).



i mean how can uu call the ps3 crap with a built-in blu-ray, internet browse, built-in wi-fi, bluetooth etc.. its just plain stupid n childish when uu think about it.



i hardly use my pc nowadays cuz the ps3 really do pretty much wot a pc can do. i use my fone 4 e-mails n instant messaging so really if sony puts something like microsoft words on the xmb(ive got a wire-less keyboard) that would be great 4me seein the ps3 givs uu da option 2print stuff. mayb they can make a deal with google 4 google docs ot something like that
