I was hoping the PSP GO would cost less than the PSP 3000 but I was dead wrong. Will Sony pull another stunt with the PS3 slim?

What should they price the system at?

Didn't PS2 slims always cost more than regular PS2s? They at least have to go to $300, but I have a bad feeling.

Look at the Pricing for PS to PSOne, and PS2 to PS2 Slim...that's better than Users on these boards.

For the record, the PSP Go has additional things, like 16Gigs of memory, so while I am not justifiying the price, comparing it to the SLIM models makes no sense. The PSP Go is a different product, and Sony will still be supporting the PSP3000 as well.

The PSP Go is like the iPhone or the DSi, overpriced products. Sony is allowed to jump in just like Nintendo and Apple does. If people want the Go, whatever. It doens't bother me, I'm not getting a PSP Go.

You have been making a lot of ANTI Sony threads, is that your game? At least do better with the next one. Being anti Sony is fine, as long as you got a strong case.

$349 wouldn't be bad for a 120 gig ps3.They can drop the 80s to $299 to help clear them out around the time it hits.

That's American's man, pretty typical. Jumbo Size this, Biggie Size that. Everything's large in America, the Cars, the meal portions, the People.

I should know, I'm 390lbs, 5'1, and I'm in NY right now, eating a BigMac, while in my new Caddy.


"Hey, I'm Drivin' Here!"

Some Don't even want a SLIM PS3, because if the PS3 can lose weight, why not them? That's why I'm NEVER getting a SLIM PS3, but I would buy a Fatter PS3, if available.

PSP Go also costs less to make because of the removed UMD drive. I'm curious to see how it does. It's at a questionable price point, and really, you can buy any size of memory card you want for your 3000. And IMO the PSP Go looks like it came out of a happy meal.

I haven't read any confirmation on this. Anyway, I love the way the PS3 looks now so if a slimmer version gets released I can imagine "fat" models will drop in price and that's when I'll get mine.

Oh, I'm sure it's a quality made device. This is just a matter of personal taste -- and mine is I wouldnt be caught dead flicking that open in public. The PSP slim and 3000 are the best looking handhelds I've seen. The PSP Go looks like a toy, not a multimedia/gaming device.

It's smaller so Sony should price it at $599 US Dollars of course.... all the world will see it's value and buy it on name alone, they won't even need to have any games for it.

A 20 gig might cost themalmost as much to get as a 120 gig in bulkin the hardrive marketplace (maybe as much ior more even) , because one is rare and one is more commonplace now.

It cuts costs.

It should be $250 USD. No more. If Sony wants to compete, they *need* to either match or undercut the highest priced console.

Considering the fact that the PS3 has a standard hard drive and other complex hardware that runs hotter than previous generations. I don't think it would be logical to "slim" down the PS3...

Haha. True -- they are big, but there are a few players like Kevin Lovell who are under 6 ft and under 160lbs. :P Yeah, it's quite the issue. But we're going off on a bunch of different tangeants.

I'm british. So my applicable stereotype is that I am tight with money, and I dislike the idea of this product because it doesn't have a purpose over the old version.

I resent the portrayal of America as nothing more than Nixon-think coupled with 1980s hedonism. It's this kind of thinking that breeds a backlash of socialist youth, running with a new kind of nationalism that reeks of violence, stupidity and poverty. We're two minutes from financial oblivion, we haven't had a fiscally sound president in decades, and the next generation is busy being spun into fang-less interest groups by a political conspiracy in which "Democrat" and "Republican" both mean the same thing. - When the clock hits midnight, I'd like to think that America once represented an ideal more meaningful than a Big Mac. - The PSP Go! is a strange commercial ploy by Sony. The market has two devices - the iPod Touch and the DSi - which have similar features yet are more expensive, so they've risen to the price point, rather than dominating it. They're an odd player - they lack the library of applications, social image, and populist foothold to really make the device "work" - and yet they're trying. - Sony, charging more for a premium PS3? I wouldn't put it past them - at this point in the game, they're not going to win the market, no matter what they claim publicly, they have to know that. So, it's about profitability - and if they can get the Sony crowd to drop $499 on a PS3 slim, they'll do it. They're sure as hell not going to start giving it away.

It should replace the lowest priced PS3 now and the PS3 now should get a $100 price drop.

I'd like to think that too, but Big Macs are here to say, and they are yummy.

I don't really think anyone can pigeonhole America, it's way to varied and diverse. It's all in good fun when speaking of slimming, I didn't have much material to work with, and sometimes you have to chance the material you got, even if a bit risque.

I hope your right about America's Legacy a few hundred years from now.

If I knew your address, I would sue you over that post.

My sister is dumb and chock full of ****, and when people use the phrase chock full of **** and dumb, it offends me, since it's about my sister. :)

haha the word that they blocked out was actually supposed to be another term for "kitty"

I'm not making myself clear!

My sister is dumb as hell, and chock full of kitty!

That's nice to know though, I have a blister, don't you hate all the Yellow stuff that comes out....what's it called?

I'd like to think that too, but Big Macs are here to say, and they are yummy.

I don't really think anyone can pigeonhole America, it's way to varied and diverse. It's all in good fun when speaking of slimming, I didn't have much material to work with, and sometimes you have to chance the material you got, even if a bit risque.

I hope your right about America's Legacy a few hundred years from now.

Let's hope I am - I'm moving the topic over to OT to see the response... I have to hope some people believe we can be more than hedonists. On that subject, it seems like Sony is betting that we are, and it has backfired on them terribly. They simply have so greatly failed to create the "image" people need to drop hundreds of dollars on a product. They should take a page from Apple - the idealization of the common man is far more appealing than a vague elitism.

Good question. The PSP Go was a real shocker to me. It didn't add anything that the old PSP can't do, it's just a smaller screen, no UMD and Sony trying to convince me that 16gb of flash memory is worth $80. I thought they were learning how to price their products but that's a clear sign that they aren't. I don't think they'll pull a Go, but I wouldn't be surprised if it cost more than a normal PS3.

The slim should be 300. That will move units for sure.

$349 wouldn't be bad for a 120 gig ps3.They can drop the 80s to $299 to help clear them out around the time it hits.

Where's your proof that it's real to begin with?

I really don't see the point of "slimming" a console...

They should price it at $300. They will probably end up pricing it at $400 when the better move would be to never introduce the slim and instead just cut costs on the original. Either way, they need a price cut fast.

So is it really real or is this you hoping it's real?
