No, just a slight weight reduction of like 200 grams or something like that.

Seems pointless but I'm sure there's a reason for that.

To me this sounds dumb. Yes i get the money aspect and the competition. But they are doing all of this work so that you can have an attachment to your xbox ? That is dumb and to me is something of taking a step backwards. But oh well microsoft usually knows what they are doing.

That right there, Sir....is a sentence with so much fail.



Just waiting for that PS Vita to come out so I can play some full featured games on the go with that beautiful screen and control scheme...

It'll most likely lower production costs, and maybe, just maybe, Sony will finally break even with the PS3.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

I'm sure it was probably a change in plastic material or removing of some of the plastic innards or something.  Maybe they shrank the PSU a bit.

Microsoft making a reliable slim model is like Sony openly saying we talk the truth about everything. PLEASE its just a LOL and even if it were true i gurantee they will fail with a month of release lol. If anything Microsoft will release a totally new console sooner rather than later

Microsoft made a reliable console already. But im still waiting on Sony to tell the world how they really feel, so I dunno. You gave me false hope that they would admit to a few things.



Tease.

$199 360 Slim with inbuilt HDD with Natal
$149 360 Slim with inbuilt HDD w/o Natal

Aggressive marketing and aggressive pricing is needed in the late stages of the game. MS must make the next move. Gran Turismo 5 is Sony's answer to the 360 Slim + Halo:Reach + Natal combo.


i highly doubt them prices.

i predict an arcade for $149 and the elite $199

 

with natal bundled in $249 and $299



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

Im pretty sure they will discount all current models by $50 to clear out inventory hence the $150 price tag. and release the Slim with no internal HDD for $199 and a Slim with a 120 or 250GB internal HDD for $299. Both these will have Natal included. Thats my prediction



Long Live SHIO!

While I agree with your prices for the base models, Natal won't be $100.

Recently MS mentioned that they removed the logic chip from the Natal system and instead they are using the 360s chips to help out. That was most definitely to reduce costs. I bet Natal is closer to $60 standalone so I bet it will be packaged w/ 360's at $50 more than their base prices.
