He predicted in 2010 that they will get a price-cut THIS year.lol



This one, I agree with, but it's kind of obvious. Two years seems like a reasonable amount of time for the PS3 and 360 to price cut, but they still might not.

However Wii, it's sales have been declining for the last couple years, and if you allign Wii sales with PS2 sales, you can see that it's due for a price cut. NSMB bundle was enough for 2010, but in 2011, Nintendo will need at least a $20 price cut.

As for DS, well it's very likely going to see a price cut in order to continue selling with the 3DS around, and same goes for PSP.

Actually thinking about it, only Wii is garenteed a price cut, and even then, it may only be $20.

It'd be nice to see a drop for the consoles this year to help boost sales all-around. It would make an interesting holiday season for 2011 for sure, but I won't hold my breath on it.

how is that a price cut if all models don't see a price reduction?

PS3 to sell 100m by 2011 confirmed!

Yeah I could use a price cut too, that the Christmas deals this year might just push me to get a PS3, although I was thinking about picking up the older 80GB model or 40GB model, since they're discontinued can be obtained dirt cheap!

I personally wish I got the slim, mainly because I like the way it looks moreso than the phat, but that difference is negligible.

Well I personally find Phat to be much better looking than Slim! The only hassle I have with the phat is the HD space. Especially with the dreadful rumours of extremely long loading times unless the games are installed onto HD, in some cases installation being compulsory. I really don't like the colour of Slim and the case just looks so cheap in comparison with the phat's glossy finish.

Once you get one, you will see how dusty it gets, even if you use it everyday. Also, it is easy to leave smudges. You can upgrade your hard drive though(at least that is what some people claimed).


Chyeah, all prettier things require upkeep :p, I dust every week anyway, so doesn't affect me much, it's the hard drive that will be a real bitch to me imho.

The biggest minus of the fat is that the dust shows up, and its almost impossible to keep it super clean without a single dirt showing up. Plus they are supposed to be a bit more unreliable than slims.

Not sure how true it is though, I have a 2.5 year old 40 GB phat upgraded to 500 GB and it runs like its new. 

I would advise you to get a slim instead when the price drops, that's much more safer and it looks way more cooler and it didn't even have the apocalyps3.

Pachter is a digital clock.



Tease.

Pachter is a digital clock.

An unset digital clock is still right once a day.
