What are you gonna wait for? Because BC will never come back to the system.

Does it seem out of line to anyone else that in the next month or so Sony will be selling the PSP for a mere $50 less than the PS3?

Technically its not a price drop if the 80 gig @ $299 is being discontinued. Its a SKU shuffle. Its a price drop when there is an in production model below $399.

Yeah, I know about that. As much as I wish you folks that don't have a BC system can get it back/get a BC system, I just very much doubt it'll happen.

The stuff in that link have already been discussed in other forums and people concluded that there's no way we can get BC back w/o the EE/GS chips (and the parts for that would cost sony $$)

I'll still hope that it comes back one day but it just seems foolish to keep waiting even longer for it, especially now that the price is 299.

love my MGS4 bundle :P

lol, buzzkill. Though you technically might be right, it doesnt take away from the fact that these prices will probably see the light of day before the slim. Making them to the general buyer a price drop, and to most non buzkill people as well.

$199.99 oR SHaLL CONTINUE tO iGNORe...

lol if this turns into another fake post/ Kotaku freakout fiasco...

Yeah, I suspect you're right about where the slim price is gonna fall. Still, if the slim is flat-out BC, then at least we can wait for a drop on *that.*

Is this package finally going to include an HDMI cable? or do I have to wait a week and buy a HDMI cable at Monoprice

Oswald has been on that PS3 price drop and now he finally has his proof. Way to go man.

Yup, specially with the Elite becoming the new $299 model.

This is what is holding me back from getting ready to purchase one. It's most likely the slim will come out at $399 and I won't be able to stand having gotten the older model.

n

you know theres always the possibility that the ps3 slim doesnt exist and the "rumor" of it existing was a way to do a price drop and sell some ps3s. if it does exist though theres no way it'll be 299 when things tend to get smaller they often go up in price. like flat screen tvs.

Christ almighty, honeybunch, if you type like that all the time I hope the PS3 never hits $199.99.

Keep drinking that haterade. I am a guerrilla journalist with no photoshop skills,if this is fake, I would be damn proud of how good of a fake it is. Im sure Cheapy wouldnt have put it on the front if he didnt feel my info and source were not valid.

Thanks for your opinion though xGunCrazyx

Great find, man. For those who are quick to put down this find, just wait. Im sure you'll find yourselves wrong soon.

Oh heck, just do it anyways. It's about $7. Good to have ready to go. You can use it to discipline children to stay off your lawn until then.
