Yeah, NJ5 actually tricked me into believing in a $50 price drop for a while when he kept pumping out those Sony doom threads. But the whole time, apart from a short period, I've been a firm believer in a $299 PS3 in Aug/Sep (that prediction is well documented in my post history). The Slim took me by surprise though.
On PS3 phat I believe Sony was losing at least $50 at the $399 price. So even if they're saving $100 by making the Slim, it still would cost at least $350 to produce.
But all is good, they can make those $50-100 back on periferals and software license revenue.
