the rumours we have been hearing for a while now are officially true, sony will be dropping the 120gb PS3 slim in september, and the original ps3 will recieve a price-drop of 100$. Both the ps3 slim and the original will retail at $299.

The original ps3 price cut is in effect tmrw.

Now i can finally buy a ps3 and play metal gear solid 4!

sony needs to make sales and i guess this will help them out, i would rather play my xbox that will most likely fail but play with friends as it fails

it baffles me that they intend to offer both the slim and the original at the same price point...?

I got mine for the blu-ray since it was the best and cheapest player at the time. Now that some sick game are coming out like uncharted 2 and god of war 3, I might start playing it more.

well the slim ps2 sucked and overheated and broke pretty often. hope this is not the same deal with the slim ps3 but i wouldnt be suprised. hold off on buying that shit till the bugs get worked out because there will be bugs. i already have ps3 though so im not too worried. i was thinking about selling it but fuck that i wont get shit for it after the price drop.

yo mgs4 isnt wat i thought it was going to be, theres hardly any gameplay and mostly just cutscenes, more like a movie. but.... if u do wanna play a game with many months of gameplay, get littlebigplanet at first i thought its was going to sukk balls but now im addicted, u can create ur own game anything u can really imagine, plus many many colors and things happening to make it even better when baked.

i plan to buy a regular ps3..... i'd rather wait and see how the ps3 slim pans out for the reasons you mention above.

indeed it is, with games like resistance 2 and killzone 2, ps3's only problem with me is i only have four friends tht have one, but with games like MAG and others, ps3 is going to end up very populated
