Forums - Sony - IGN: We have a PS3 Slim "for real".

Garnett said:

I think Sony is doing a good job advertising slim PS3 anyone agree?

 

Think about it,You guys hear about a slim PS3,you go tell your friends about the slim PS3 (weither you like it or not) then they tell others and word gets around and more people buy it.

 

Viral marketing at its best.

Sony are very good at viral marketing...until they get caught (All I want for Christmas is a PSP).

It does sound like they were joking, but at this point the PS3 Slim is all but confirmed. The obvious would be a pre-holiday release to give the console a jump in sales not seen since the $399 40GB SKU back in 2007.

Most likely we'll see inventory clearing discounts on the current 80GB SKU from $349 to $299 with a likely price of $399 for the Slim upon release. Once inventory on the 80GB SKU has been cleared, I would expect to see the Slim drop to the 80GB inventory clearing price at $349 to $299.

Depending on how much inventory of the current PS3 is in distribution channels, it's likely we'll be seeing a lower priced Slim right around Black Friday.

well if you would want to play rpgs idk why you would buy a ps3, just trying to give advice.

Because the PS3 has RPGs...

And the current retail PS3's give you access to all PS1 RPG's... and the PS1 had more than Ps3, 360 and Wii combined....

[Mine can play PS2 games aswell]

OT: I think they're just joking around...



4 ≈ One

If they finally have a stable console that generates less heat, I'll be happy to pay for it

I just thought that I'd bold a word in that sentence, you know, to add emphasis.



I wonder how much cheaper this could be on the electric bill than the 60GB



These are the guys that said they saw Kid Icarus Wii right?
