Forums - Sales - The Hype Thread!!

There's been alot of writing, predictions and hype threads after the announcement of the PS3 Slim and PS3 pricecut. To the point of where Sony is bound to fail no matter what, due to peoples expectations. So i thought i'd make a thread about all other threads that touches the subject in one way or another. So when the final numbers comes in in September, i'll have a thread with easy access to all other threads where i quickly can go "win" - or "fail"

It can also serve as a quick "One thread to rule them all"- for people who might not have had the chance to keep up with all that has been said on the matter. And I will try to keep it updated until the final numbers comes in, with more threads and/or threads that contradict other threads.

Ive also made three sections, where the first ones are big pro hype threads with focus on large numbers and total success. The second section is for prediction threads and/or threads that have a cold response to all the PS3 hype. And the third section is for threads that are all out "MS Rule, PS3 Drool!!"
