SONY is Close to the break even point now that the Slim is out,

No they are not close. If each unit cost them $340 to make that is not close. They do NOT sell them to stores for $299, that what the stores sell them to customers for. Sony probably sell each PS3 to stores for around $225 to $250, that is still losing about $100 on each.
do you have a link to back up your claims? one that shows the Current, as to right now after the slim is out, cost of Production for PS3?
Someone already posted a link to the production costs of the PS3 on page 1 of this thread. It shows the price of the PS3 is almost $340.
hard time finding the xbox 360 but i think most people believe that it isn't losing money with each sale

I still dont understand how they figure that Sony only loses $40.

They are both about equal, with ups and downs. As far as onscreen action, how many games have more enemies onscreen at once than Dead Rising? I cant think of any.
I will definitely try the demo. I am still on the fence about this one. MGS4 was enough of a movie for me, although I dont know if this will be very similar, thats why I want to play the demo.
I might buy it but, its not a must have game for me by any means. Maybe I will wait until it is cheap. I was not impressed by the beta, other than I am glad the 256 player thing was just a gimmick. That many players at once would have sucked IMO.
For me personally The 360 has the best line up for 2010, but its hardly the downfall of the PS3 although, there are only 2 games this year that I want for my PS3, that I know of so far:(
