I think this is more an indication that there won't be a significant push for a price drop of ps3 during the holiday season in order to make ps4 more appealing to consumers.Nice. So if its real I guess it'll go for like $50 on black Friday?
Yup: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/df-hardware-playstation-3-12gb-super-slim-reviewNo it is the same 12GB that Europe got.
Hmmm? Let's see 8 gb Wii U only is $300 and the 32 gb is only $350. For about 70-100 more dollars I can put in a 1 tb hard drive into that ps3. $300 for a 1 tb hard drive ps3 vs. $300 for an 8 gb wii u. You do the mathredroversk said:That's awful, I hope it's a misprint and they're missing a zero. My Wii U has a massive hard drive compared to that.
The math can go all kinds of stupid ways if you want to be a smart ass.Hmmm? Let's see 8 gb Wii U only is $300 and the 32 gb is only $350. For about 70-100 more dollars I can put in a 1 tb hard drive into that ps3. $300 for a 1 tb hard drive ps3 vs. $300 for an 8 gb wii u. You do the math

It's still bad. Even if you do that (and buy a caddy for it) you're paying about the same price as the 500GB bundle that includes GTA V. Except now you've done more work, and still don't have GTA V. Only a moron would do this. I know there are plenty of them out there, but that doesn't make this a good deal in any way.So buy a 500gb hard drive for 50 bucks, really not bad.
Buying either at retail price is foolish. It's certainly possible that the 12GB model will at some point be a good deal.It's still bad.

Now if you happen to have an extra hard drive/caddy lying around then I suppose it's ok. If you want to stream video and play a game or two (but not GTA V) then it's ok. Otherwise this is just a bad deal all around.
Most people who buy a PS3 aren't going to want to install their own hard drive. Soccer moms will buy this system not knowing after 2 games played there won't be able to install/load a third.It's not lame. You can just replace the HDD if you want.
Typical installs are around 4-5GB IIRC.
It's not the size of the hard drive. It's the absurd price of the console. This thing is worth no more than $100It's not lame. You can just replace the HDD if you want.

$130 would be instant buy.I honestly think this is an awesome deal. I can see this going for $130-$150 on BF or on AWD. I've been wanting a PS3 for awhile but I can easily wait a few to see if it goes as low as I expect.
Many people don't understand how upgrading the HDD works. My local GS sees TONS of people trading in PS3's to get ones with bigger HDD's. Also I was told that store went through 30 plus 360 Slim HDD's at full $130 MSRP last December b/c customers had 4 GB XBox's and couldn't play Halo 4/BF 3 online.Yeah but compared to the other bundles that have hit $200 or close to it. Why would you go through the trouble to upgrade the HDD? Hell why wouldnt you just grab the GTA5 bundle for $270? You get an upgrade and GTA5 for another $70.
Honestly, I wouldnt be surprised if this was a 120GB for $200
?Just wondering, is this gonna be easy to swap HDD?
It would be nice if it were like the fat PS3 when swapping your HDD instead of the slim one.
It takes like 2 minutes to replace.TimesTicking said:Just wondering, is this gonna be easy to swap HDD?

love to sell my 250 gb that used no more then 2 hours for 150 but never get itI honestly think this is an awesome deal. I can see this going for $130-$150 on BF or on AWD. I've been wanting a PS3 for awhile but I can easily wait a few to see if it goes as low as I expect.
Yeah but sports games, dancing games, and COD don't take much if any install space (as long as you aren't getting the COD DLC).Most people who buy a PS3 aren't going to want to install their own hard drive.

Been said over and over it is not. It is the same system Europe already got.Hopefully this is an error, and its accutally a new psvita sku with some built in memory
There was also the 2 day $220(normally $270) Uncharted 3 GOTY PS3 bundle deal at Best Buy. That bundle comes with a year of Playstation Plus besides the UC3 GOTY game.The other PS3 deal good and smart. 500GB hard drive with GTAV, and makes a lot more sense.
Let me see if I'm understanding this correctly...you'd trade in TWO slims for one of these 12GB models?? WHYYYY!? Seems like you'd be getting screwed double on that deal.I think I'd buy one for $200 I'll trade in 2 slims that I got that I only had to put HDD's in and get this system and put a 120GB SSD in this one. I've been wanting to do so anyways does anyone know if running a PS3 with a SSD even makes a noticeable difference.
At this point in the cycle, no. Just buy a better HDD as you will see the same result. I was kind of wrong about the SSD considering I was unaware of the bandwidth cap of 1.5 gbps.I think I'd buy one for $200 I'll trade in 2 slims that I got that I only had to put HDD's in and get this system and put a 120GB SSD in this one.
