Only $50 more than a Wii and $100 more than an Arcade. And no features taken out this time, it's easily the best value for money out of the 3 consoles now.

It was a good question and the only thing I cared about the event myself. Was to find out if the old systems would get a firmware update to play some of the PS2 games. Don't take everything has an attack.

I wonder if Sony purposely makes these "secrets" leaked to increase some sort of anticipation? IDK, but it's weird.

Not really if they want to play Halo or buy something cheaper. It may be a better value but to some people they will still look at it has $100 more.

If you have a ps3 already there's no point in getting a slim.

So, guys & Gals, how long do we have to wait until MS drops the Xbox's price, like they said they would if the PS3 got a drop? :?

In Denmark it's down by £60 = 85$ if those prices are converted directly.

I feel sorry for my friend, he just bought the Killzone 2/MGS4 bundle last month. He should have waited and got this. He only plays sports games so I doubt he's interested in the games bundled with his PS3. Sony is smart though for keeping this a "secret".

The only thing he seems to be missing out on is the extra memory. Is the slim even backwards compatible?

I'll stick to my chunky monkey :D In my case I don't trust PS slim designs... I always think that the fan being reduced in size is not such a great idea... lol but in any case its fantastic news for the non PS3 owners! It's really a great console and with added bluray player and Wifi you get your money's worth!
