Yeah very true. PC games that are pirated are sold here for 25-50RMB, so if they would re-release PS3 games for a price of 50-100RMB I think they could sell well. Because they would be real copies and not cost that much more really. Also, $100 for a gaming console would be very attractive, and could compete with PC rigs that would cost $200-300. Because you get a pretty good gaming PC for that price here, especially a Chinese brand PC.

You mean for the "other" markets that I spoke of or in the markets they are already in? If you mean in India and China for example I don't think it's a good idea. The price must go down a lot for it to be attractive, just to make it a slim won't make it attractive here.
If you remember the rumors abour the Chinese console being made, their retail price would be set at $120, which if you ask me is a good target price. This is what Sony should aim for too, with a PS3, between $100-150. The lower the better.
