Id like to see those estimates.

 

Google search is your friend. First few links returned by searching "PS3 Slim Loss":

Thanks... We already knew this... no where in there do I see up to a hundred dollars though. Closest we have is the CFO saying 10 percent... which is far from 100.

Here's the link to the $100 loss estimate.  It's from Diawa Institute of Research and was reported on TV Tokyo before hitting trade papers.  And yeah, a basic google search would've led you there.

I actually haven't seen any other specific estimates on the confirmed PS3 slim loss though.  I'm curious where you're getting your $30 from, can you give us a source?

That figure isn't in reference to the $299 slim, it's in reference to the $399 fat.  Again, where are you getting a $30 loss on the slim from?
