Kmart, while not being a huge company, I doubt would mess up that bad. I think this is 100 percent true now and no longer a rumor.

Not as much as they used to be. They used to be on par with Target and Walmart. Than Walmart went crazy huge and 75 percent of the Kmarts in my area went out of business.

Sony did say in some interview that they were planning to sell # millions (?) of consoles April. The number was pretty ridiculous tbh, but I think this is what they had in mind. The Slim, price cut, and maybe the release of GT5 and GoW3. I don't know if that would be enough...maybe with Full B/C and cross chat with this update then I can see them selling like hotcakes.

I'm actually thinking about pre-ordering it. When I first heard about the Slim, I decided to take a risk and sell my PS3 on Ebay for $300 ($100 less than what I payed) so I could get the new version. I was hoping it would have backwards compatibility. Looks like my gamble may have payed off!

250 is a bit ridiculous for a Wii. Consider a 300 dollar PS3 with everything you could need. Consider how the Xbox 360 will likely go cheaper than 200 dollars for an arcade version. The Wii is just far to high priced in comparison now. Even 200 dollars is high priced for the Wii now in my opinion.

Sales are at a steady loss though, Wii last year during July sold almost twice as much as it did July 09.

I don't think that would do anything against Ps3 since arcade is already cheaper than both.

Yet barely outsells the PS3, It's the cheapest model and doesn't even outsell the PS3 2:1, Glad that Sony is stepping up there game and hope many others adopt a PS3 to see it's a great machine. Nows the best time more then ever!

true...but some people who research alot before committing will know that since the 120gb HDD is $120 stand alone....it's actually cheaper if you just get the elite upgrade, cause not only that but you get a mic, wireless controller (arcade only comes with wired i believe) and other goodies

plus if they happen to continue the GOTY elite edition, then that'd be two of the 360's biggest games as well

Even so, this is a great deal for people that haven't bought either console yet. At the $300 price point, you get wi-fi and blu-ray. On the other hand, the 360 elite comes with a mic and an HDMI cable, plus two great games.

Doesnt seem like such a good idea and I also just dont get it? WHy do thesse companies make their consoles smaller? Are they really that big to begin with? Are we that pressed for space?

Seems to me SONY is asking for problems. Their slimline PS2 had over heating problems. The 360 has had problems since launching..I dont see where its going to be a good move?

The PS3 is way too big imo. Also, it probably costs less to make the Slim.

I'm gonna make a prediction that that either next NPD or the one after PS3 is the highest selling console. Let's see if it comes true lol. And no, I meant interesting, SW was painfully boring for the last few days.

Particularlly in Japan,space if often a premium, they love smaller gadgets. I've been pretty skeptical over alot of the internet rumours for the PS3 slim but this pretty much confirms it, I bet Sony are a bit irked that kmart leaked this.

BINGO!! which is why they'll probably sooner than later discontinue the 80gb model and just go straight slim like what they did with the PS2
