I knew this all along, and now with 13 million PS3s forecast for this Fiscal year a price cut is guaranteed. Only a fool would think otherswise. In such serious economic times as these, Sony wouldnt talk about a 30% shipment increase to investors if they werent serious.

The question is just if it's $349 or $299. I admit I was a firm believer in a $299 PS3 until a couple of months ago when I realized that PS2 went from $199 to $179 (back in 2003 - exactly 6 years ago, thus corresponding to 2009 in this gen), suggesting Sony doesn't do these kind of drastical price drops at this point in time of a generation, as a $100 drop would be.

I perdict $349 announced at E3.

A PS3 Slim at this point in time is just bogus. IMO the PS3 hardware is too bulky for them to fit it into a slim case at this early in the gen. But in 2010, maybe.
