Yeah good find, I'll probably be picking up a Super Elite or PS3 slim (if they drop the price in the UK) next month. I'd hoped the new slim would have been cheaper but oh well.

150$? Damn that's rediculously cheap. Yet Nintendo can get away with scamming people with 10 year old hardware.

sounds great and I will buy many older 360s as presents for nephews etc. but for me I want the new one, I use a bridge from my laptop for the current one and I only have a 20gb hdd so this would be great all around.

what is the majority of the wii titles? there is money to be had in this stuff that is why ms and sony came up with something. atleast ms has the willingness to try something slightly different unlike sony which completely copied the wii.

Why would anyone NOT want to get the new slimmer version? Practically every aspect of it is an upgrade from a previous model. To me the best part about it is that it supposedly is quieter.

I agree with you there. Personally, I don't care about any of the new motion control things, but at least MS tried to be creative, Sony is as uncreative as ever.
