I'm guessing stores will try to clear the 80GB stock by bundling it with a game or two. I might actually go for the 80GB if I can get it with a few games thrown in, why not? I doubt I'm ever going to need 120GB of hard drive space...

Because nobody realy needs 120gb, 80gb is plenty. Slim doesnt look as nice, Feel as nice. Just little things make it look cheap like its buttons instead of touch buttons like the 80gb has. Ive got my money at the ready to buy my 80gb but i cant decide which to get.

Uninformed "not quite" gamers, as well as the videophile who still wants a blu ray player.

So you are saying the slim has no blu ray player? how do you expect the slim to run the games without the blu ray player? Am I missing something here?

No I dont know what BlackFro55 was talking about, didnt realy make any sense but there is definately a blu ray player and yes the games wouldnt run without one as they are blu ray disks.

I can tell you thats not the case in my situtation....i have a 120gb elite and have come down to my last 10gb with a few demos and games downloaded onto the system.... Id rather have the peace of mind knowing that my system with 120gb can still download alot of the games down the line without me having to go back and delete things in order to download more stuff... Also space really becomes an issue if you downloads shows, movies, DLC, etc...

You're jumping to conclusions. No where in my post did I say mention that the slim version would be without blu ray player. I gave reasons why people would still pick up the 80 gig instead of waiting for the slimline to release. Nothing would hold back a 35 year old man who wants to buy a blu ray player tomorrow, or any other day before September.

Dude a lot of people don't understand something, they have lowered the price to eliminate the current model but the new slim is using cheaper parts of less quality. It's like what they did with the ps2 slim, then everyone began to care about reliability. The current model are gonna be more reliable than the slim.

Your post made it seem like the slim didn't have a blu ray player. Just the way you worded it friend.

Nobody needs 120GB? I have a 320GB my man, with only 140GB leftover. Demos, Games, Qore, Trailers, etc. It fills up over time.
