So... the opposition can't cut their prices too?

The wii and 360 are already cheap enough that anyone and everyone can afford them if they want.

You don't live in an urban inner city environment near the projects I take it...

This is great news... I hope its true and that they do sell. The only thing is that MS and Nintendo will not stay put and watch as the PS3 slim dominates the holiday season. 360 will follow with their own price drop and bundle it up with 2 games. Then the Wii will finally get its first price drop and it wont disappoint.... 360 and PS3 sales will be closer than ever but nothing will slow down the Wii this holiday season. Not even a 360 price drop or PS3 slim.

Ps3 has never been priced at a consumer friendly range. $300 is a decent price though and makes a huge difference.

You do know during the Holidays, the Wii gets more expensive than the PS3, yet it sells 10 times more.

PS3 suffers from the weekly paycheck bind. Most people can't really afford one with one paycheck, on top of rent, food, transportation, and other bills.

This is actually a big deterrent for a lot of people because it removes the quality of being an "impulse buy".

If they release a slim b/c PS3 with a 300$ tag on it, ill buy that first day even though i already have a PS3 80gb.



Lets also not forget the casual gamers buying PS2s for the first time now, at $99. If the PS3 gets a price cut, then the Xbox 360 likely will, and then Sony could lose PS2 sales to Xbox 360 as well.

The ps3 slim is going to happen its only a question of when, if it had backwards compatibility with ps2 titles i would buy it day 1 even though I already have one, and agreed it will be the best come back in gaming history

Bullshit, I lived in a Section 9 or 4, or whatever it is, for a while and most of the people had more shit than I did because they received welfare and I didn't. On top of that Section 8 (THAT'S what it is :P) housing people only pay like 100$ a month for rent. Low income housing people probably spend more on goods than those who are barely above poverty line.
