I honestly cannot imagine Sony affording $299 these holidays. They are bleeding money from their games department as is. $349 is FAR more likely.

but what if manufacturing costs for a ps3 have significantly dropped, and they can afford to sell a ps3 for $299 mabey without any losses at all.

could be a possibility.

my guess the ps3 slim will have a $ price tag of $299 and a £ price tag of £249

im thinkin the spec for it will be as follows.

• external power brick
• less ports on board
• no wifi
• lesser quality plastic
• no touch buttons
• no off/on switches on the back

basically stripped down to make it cheaper.

a very good idea would be to have a slim as the entry model and as it is now shape as the premium model but with BC

so from a consumer standpoint, a $299 slim without the extra features would sell very very well, and a $399 model with bigger hardrive and full software BC would also do very well.
