unlikely,though i missed out on the white/blue when i replaced my last one so hope they bring in some colours

If it can do it (not too likely), it won't be better ever again. A supposed new model, plus some new games will help it sell well in Europe like always. All current consoles have peaked now so, it's hard to know what to expect

where?

This one is from Home of Hardware. Admittedly, it was a pricing mistake and they sold like 1.500 PS3's in about 2 hours. But they honored the deal and made a lot of people happy^^

Hitfox also sold some PS3's for 149€ as some kind of promotion.

You just have to be a Deal Hunter to get your moneys worth^^

Here's another trophy I shot:

Is that a German store? If so, do they ship to Europe?

Yes and yes. But like I said, those were pricing mistakes and have been corrected since.

lemme know when they have such pricing again!

The holidays can throw up some unexpected figures making nonsense of the YoYs and the general sales trends. 

I have as much faith in these "numbers" predicting what will happen during the holidays as I had with the "numbers" thrown up by economists to point out that the recession would be over by 2011.

X360 proved this the case a couple years back - granted it had kinect to achive this and PS3 only has a slim and a possible price cut for the 2012 holidays.

Please don't get me wrong. I am not saying that you are talking nonsense and will be proved wrong, quite the contrary. I like you do not see a 41% increase as you stated. 

I also believe that if the wii u makes an initial mpressive impression (the tree I's) on the media and public,  it will rip massive sales from the rest.

Regardless I don't think what the OP suggest is likely.

16GB?

There's no such thing, and there never will be....That was just a rumor that will never happen.  A 16GB PS3 would be dumb.

With the coming pricecuts and new models. Sony should do a PS3+PSVITA bundle at 399!
