I predict late 2009

sometime in 2010 or maybe 2011.

Late 2009 there is the holiday shopping season, so some will be sold then.

Although I think it will most likely be 2010.

I have no idea though. x_x 

mid of 2008

Do you mean when Sony stops manufacturing it?

it will be a minor console within the year

Whenever it stops selling,duh.

Never.......;P

Best guess is that Sony will stop manufacturing it in 2010 cos the sales will die next year as PS2 owners jump to either the Wii or PS3*

* I'm making the assumption that Sony brand loyalty will mean they'll go to the PS3 if they are lured by HD as opposed to the 360, however given Sony have sacrificed backwards compatibility they could jump to the 360 if it continues to enjoy the best software line-up!

"""Do you mean when Sony stops manufacturing it?,"""

==> good point

sometime next year. god i need sleep, i can hardly keep my eyes open.
