well next ps3 price cut should be next year prolly, $249

for this fall it will remeain at $299 which is the best value out of all consoles.

move is said to be under $100 who knows what exact cost will be, we dont even know how much natal will be yet.

is it slimmer?

via Q&A:

Sony currently sell the PS3 at a loss, this revision enables them to sell the PS3 at break-even and even profit depending on some boring currency stuff. The reason you, the consumer, pays the same is so that Sony stop losing money in the PlayStation division.

not that i have seen, just a little lighter in WT. and uses less power. and run's cooler.

I think that refers to the US, the only place where the price of the PS3 is, and is staying, 299 US Dollars, as stated. 

The yen has been very strong against the dollar the past 4 years, so that sales made in US dollars net Sony fewer yen in income from each sale.  Like CGI, I also believe that overall and when considering all regions and sales combined, Sony probably pulls even or is mildly profitable on HW unit sales at this moment.  It's probably close, though, whichever way it comes out.  Any revisions will help significantly, obviously.

yea, while I think there is some area's that Sony may infact be getting some profit or just breaking Even, but that from now on Sony will in all likelyhood be making a profit on every PS3 sold in every region by the time Next year, which is a pretty good reduction in a little past 3 year's of time. pretty impressive when you take into account what's in the PS3, which is pretty expensive component's. just  the Fan and Heatsink alone are very robust for cooling.

yeah that was updated.

Its the interior stuff,Slimmer or the true SLIM will likely hit next year.And also Sony didn't say current PS3 were SLIM,they just said it was a redesign.

i predicted the no price cut, the breaking even, and the reason for the shortages. pats self on back.

yea, the big thing is that inorder to get to the point of something like the PS2 slim for the PS3 which I think is pretty much going to be impossible sony may still be able to reduce the current slim by maybe I would guess by 20% at most in size and a further reduction of WT. but I doubt very much more than that even with an external power adapter outside the unit. the PS3 will still need good airflow and some active and passive cooling due to even at 22nm that Cell and the RSX would still produce quite a bit of Heat , now no more than maybe some High end Laptop's, but still Airflow will still be very important.
