The basic unit launched at $299. Now it's called the Arcade and cost $199. =$100 drop

The HDD unit (named 'Pro' and 'Premium' or just '60GB' before) was introduced at $399. Now it's called 'Elite' and costs $299. =$100 drop

European prices are $50 lower though.

You need a cup of calm-down juice.

Then who's opinion is this

Did the words for the thread type themselves mysteriously and then you added your name to it.

As for Sony securing 2nd well this is the best gimmick Sony fans have used as to why they will finnish second.

It is working better then LBP, MGS4, previous price drops, ect

I have to go with Slimebeast on this.

The lowest possible price dropped by only $100, but the range for all the SKU's is $200.

1000% increase in others? they sold 500k+ units per week there week 1?

Haven't you fanboy's learned your lesson yet? Do not speak prematurely, we still have a 8 million gap to overcome and 360 ain't going to slow down any time soon. Do any of you use your fucking head????????????????????????

I guess not, whoopee doo ps3 sells good for one week. Well they did relaunch it smaller and advertise better. But to think it's automatically going to put SONy above where there at?????

Don't be ridiculous. Your still behind wii by 30 million!!!!

PS3 went from $600 to $300 in 3 years because it had to. It was too damn expensive if they want alot of people to buy it. But you people bought the overrated POS anyways.

Now it's more competitive being the same price as the default to turn to 360. Superior hardware is debatable. 360 is the still the next generation game console to own on software relative terms and it still has graphics that which of are the very best even at times besting the ps3 and it's blue ray images. PS3 graphics are so damn overrated, their is way too much jaggies, way too much screen tearing, dropping frame rates even it's precious baby uncharted! Where areas 360 sports smooth as butter, sharp borderline photo realistic images with nice and steady frame rates. Don't even get me started on the multiplatform versions in which almost alway's turn out better on 360.

SONY is lucky they have better penetration of the european and japanese because if they didn't Microsoft would tear it plain up. MS is doing alot better though i will say that, but america is still it's gold site.

Elite didn't launch at $399, try $479. The Pro (if it were still here would also of dropped that much)

Whats with all the doom and gloom, seriously ...

@Seece. "What's with the doom and gloom"

Do you really believe X360 will come 2nd place?

You're spewing non-sensical crap. You're yelling at these "fanboys" when you yourself are saying that the PS3's graphics are t3h suckzorz and downplaying its relaunch week. Also, the second sentence implies that it won't be able to outsell the 360 anymore. You only have 14 posts, but you better screw your head on correctly, use proper spelling, capitalization, and sentence structure, and form coherent thoughts without spreading bias everywhere.

It's going to be a fun week.
