Holy crap! Now THAT is a flippin' good deal!

I wrote a story about it for GU:

Quote:In a 'one more thing' move, today at Sony's Gamescom press conference, among other exciting announcements, Sony revealed the much rumoured PlayStation 3 Slim. Better yet, the hottest detail is the price, it will debut in September for $299, €299, and 29980 yen.

The new slim features the same features and functionality, and is 33% smaller; hopefully that isn't all thanks to removing the power brick like the PS2 Slim. 120GB Harddrive for the PS3 Slim as well, and the current $399 PlayStation 3 model in stores right now will drop to the $299 as of tomorrow.

More details as they roll in, hopefully Sony will be showing off the newly unveiled PS3 Slim on the show floor at their booth.

Kyle, you fell for it! Why buy a new one when your old one works fine? I'm assuming it works fine, yeah? But I gotta admit, this is a good deal... nuuu! I won't buy it! I won't! D:

Anyway, I love my clunky, fat PS3. I wouldn't trade it in or anything D:!

Its a good price and a great deal, i however will still be hating Sony for my £425 which i put down for the PS3 on launch, and you all thought i was just a 360 fanboy when truthfully, im just a cheap b***ard xD
Oh well, if my 2nd PS3 dies like the first at least it will be cheaper to replace

Hahahahahahahahaha i just looked on Amazon
The PS3 slim is a mere £20 more than a PSP GO

Places like Joystiq and Kotaku have it boasting the same features as the current PS3's.

AKA no BC Compatability.... big frown you cant play that P3:FES on it if it remains to be true.

I don't know what models you guys have but my PS3 is backwards compatible. But yeah, the Slim looks sweet, and the price is great.

No current made models support PS2 games, only at launch did they support PS2 games.

The last Playstations 3's that had the capability were the 20's, 60's, and early 80's. Out of factory they do not have the ability to play PS2 games. Even then only the 20's and 60's carried the Emotion Engine of the PS2.

I have to say I am legitimately excited about this! This may be the straw that leads me to get a PS3 instead of a 360.

Well people got what the wanted in the end.
