Same people that denied the 40 GB, the PSP Go, and now the Slim...
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Since the PSP Go was priced at $250 and the PS2 slim was released at the same price as the phat PS2.

Doesn't mean that they cost more to manufacture. Just means that Sony is pricing them as premium models.

Which is what they did with the phat PS3, and look where that got them.
I really dont think that Slim will be cheaper then PS3 at the moment, they might release it and cut the price of standard PS3's. But Madden bundle like every year should have some sort of impact on sales.
| luvtospooge said: Lol rather funny if this turns out to be true but - Ps3 slim with madden 10 for America. -Ps3 slim with Gran Turismo 5 for europe. - Ps3 slim with FF13 for Japan. And judgement day shall happen :p |
I never thought of them doing this... If true then the Apocalypse will indeed happen lol!

Dumbest thing I've ever heard.
A. PSP Go! isn't just smaller. It has internal memory.
B. Sony is giving stores more money per system on the PSP Go! to make up for the lack of games retailers would sell.
C. Ps2 was selling phenominally.... why cut the price if you don't need to?
D. If it wasn't cheaper why do it at all? It is cheaper. The reason Sony did it was to get more profit per Ps2 sold... hell they might not of even been making a profit on the Ps2. They had a sell for loss per console stragety.

The consumer doesn't make the distinction between being smaller and having internal memory. Bottom line, it's more expensive.
Trust me, if the slim is real, it'll sell for at least $399, and the phat won't get a price cut at all.
I don't buy it...Plus Sony wouldn't wait 4 days after the release of Madden to release the slim they'd lose sales.
I have always been skeptical of the PS3 slim. All the pictures look flimsy and the system look extremely cheap. If its true great for Sony. I still don't buy it though.
