PS3 Slim with 120GB HDD =$300. This pretty much destroys the Xbox360 for this generation.

I'm sorry, I ever said PS3 ROCKSORS or PS3 WILL CRUSH 360. Also I have an opinion so deal with it. Because I made a little sense. Coming and claiming your word as fact is wrong, ohh ever so wrong,. I essentially said gaming is up to the gamer. I didn't make any outrageous comments.

If the rumored price ($299) and features (120GB HD, BackCompat, slimline profile) wind up being accurate, then I see a PS3 in my future.

the PS3 will flourish with the new PS3 slim and price cut. with GT5, GOW3 that are also system sellers, the ps3 wont be stopped. the 360 and PS3 will really go head to head for the second position no doubt

A global recession is also here so we'll see if this really does jump start sales. I have to say I'm surprised they did the price change right now rather than waiting in the 4th qtr but perhaps sony saw an opportunity to overshadow X360's new Halo game. That would be pretty funny if the new Halo game gets ignored (if it sales less than 4 million it was ignored).

Well if the PS3 can outsell the 360 by 150,000 units a month for 48 months straight then yes you will be right. They will be going head to head.

Oh boy looks like that $300 elite deal is looking more like a joke every day. MS better drop the elite down to $200 and give out the arcade for free.

The lower price should boost sales for the PS3, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that the Xbox 360 is done this generation.

It's not a question of what "if" its a question of when MS will drop the price.

Ms has stated before on quite a few occasions that they would cut the prices too if Sony did.

I'm just finding it funny that some Cows are celebrating prematurely thinking that this would change anything.

It hasn't been released yet and we don't even know it's first months sales performance.

Though I will be getting a PS3 slim if it has BC, NPD for the month of September will be interesting.

My money though is the PS3 "family" will still be in last place.

LOL.

Good one, I'll give you that.

Anyway the real laughing will be when the NPD results come in September.

If the PS3 does overtake the Xbox360 then this maybe a very interesting console war this generation, if the PS3 fails to overtake the Xbox360 with all it's faults Cows will have to pretty much eat humble pie for a very long time aince the price is the major contributing factor.

Cows are you ready to go another round of NPD sales?

What? Why would us cows care about NPD and the success of the slim. We already have our PS3. This is for everyone else to discuss. But like myself and everyone else with half a sense of logic, making the PS3 smaller will not improve its success. BC however, that really will help.
