PSH. MAYBE $250 if the slim is $300.

If the slim is $350, then it will probably be $300.

D: Dang. I wonder what's wrong, I put the HTML coding into the signature thingie. oo; It should show up, it shows up when I am in editing mode. And I agree, they are selling well in Europe at 299 euros. But I am thinking about America, they are way behind 360, they have half the user base of the 360. They need some definitive action in NA to at least close the gap by a couple of million units. I'm not sure if PS3 Slim can be considered definitive action per se. I mean, sure, PS3 price cut + PS3 Slim + GT5 + Whatever gamescom brings might = PS3 sales boost, but for how long?

You´re right, the 100 usd cut will not be enough, even with gt5, gow3, uncharted 2. If sales does not get better enough, Sony will need to make another price drop next year. And probably Ms will also drop 360....
