Slim?

Slim who?

I was wondering that.  I thought at first it might be Slim Goodbody:

 

But I would rather go with FATBOY Slim:

I think they should add "Plays Halo 3" line, for the PS3 and Wii it should be 'adds $240-340' that way we'd know the Xbox 360 was the best value as on the Xbox 360 it would say 'Free*'

*With the Elite console.

If we extend the "Cash for Klunkers" to videogames and have people trade in their 360s for PS3s, or have the U.S government buy people them:

Then, the PS3 has the best value "Free".

But you will have to buy games so like xbox live which is free you still have to pay to play.

I am sure they are alluding to the forthcoming treats but the idea that it was warm in the first place seems a little misplaced. It gets difficult to remain positive when they have had so many poor months in a row.

And the Ham Sandwich is $6 it is $116 with add ons.

I don't get it. Sales continue to fall, yet they say the system is "just getting warmed up". What the hell are they smoking? For the week they are at 77k worldwide.

That's not warming up. Last weeks numbers the PS3 was at 86k (I believe). The week before that they sold 90k something. THAT IS NOT WARMING UP. That's cooling off. Sony better have something at Gamescom. Price of at least 100 dollars or that plus the Slim. If they don't do something on the hardware side they are finished. Should pack up their crap and leave. It's becoming an embrassment. They truly are.

They have some of the best devs in the business. Some of the greatest games ever. It really dissappoints me.

lol @ the chart. That is a pretty selective chart :)

I'm curious, what would you include, to make the 360 and Wii look better, and a more complete chart?  I think DS interaction, and DVD playback, should be added, otherwise... I dunno.  Otherwise it seems pretty complete.

I'm not sure why people are upset that the PS3 offers more functionality than the 360 and Wii.  Doesn't have anything to do with the games, and frankly, its not really debatable.  Its fact.

The question comes in where the consumer asks "is it more value"?  That's debatable, IMO.  The fact that the PS3 comes with a lot more features is not.
