PS3 Slim - ($299 in North America, 249 pounds in the UK) Okay that's fair?

£1 = $1.60

It's not THAT great of a price cut anyway, considering some places have been selling the PS3 at £280 anyway.BZSIN

Lowest is £275 so that makes this a £25 price cut. :?

You UK guys complain too much. You guys are sitting on piles of money. Minimum wag in the UK is like $12 while minimum wage in the US is like $6.50. You guys are Scrooge McDucking it up over there. Stop complaining.

At least the PS3 is now at a price that isn't as scary, while I'm glad the PS3 has finally seen a price cut, I can't help but wonder what's the catch?MortalDecay

Some features were removed, but nothing drastic. You can't install Linux on the slim model, and other small things.

What are these other small things?

For 280 you can get 2 blu ray movies and a game in a bundle pack.

So at 250, not only are you getting an uglier (no piano finish!) version, with less features, it would end up costing more once you buy software, when comparing it to the current PS3 offers available.

[QUOTE="hoosier7"]The Elite's now the same price i think.Wings_008

More like £210. :P

The bundle you are speaking of consists of two games, one of them being severely crap, and one BRD. :P

Canada wins again :).

Exactly. But some people are never satisified I guess.

It really is only a price drop of £25 in the UK when considering that the cheapest offer for a PS3 is £275.

That's not a fair statement whatesoever. The MSRP was 300 pounds, and some online sites lowered the price further. Now the MSRP is 250 pounds, and online stores still have the freedom to undercut if they wish.

There are plenty of sites that have had the PS3 selling for less than 399 for sometime. In fact, as has been reported here, over the last couple weeks there have been a few retail outlets selling it for $299. So, by your logic, there was no price cut mentioned today for the U.S. at all, right? :roll:
