[quote name='209chromatic']I'll wait for a $99 ps3.[/QUOTE]

wait until 2017,

im digging the new model. but i am also not digging the price. i was hoping 200 bucks ps3
 
Funny how this costs about as much as the Vita.

These MSRP-newspost threads are getting out of hand.

Uncharted 3 was disappointing.
 
Wow, I didn't know the Assassin's Creed bundle will be 500GB. Also might come in white. I'm interested to see the reviews on the performance of the new model. When they came out with the CECH 3000 last years, they looked the same but were quieter, cooler, and the contraction popping noise was done away with. Wonder if we'll see any other improvements here. If it's the same working quality as the CECH 3000, I'm buying it day 1

Thanks for the post
 
Holy crap, the price is going up. I expected a cut to $200 back in June during E3, bunch of retailers were running $50gc deals at the time too, and I think a few were selling them outright for $200.

What is Sony thinking? It should have been $200 a while ago, and ready to hit $150-$170 by the time the Wii U is released.
 
Also, will UC3:GOTY be available separately? Withe release set for 5 days away, you would think there would be pre-order options available. Or will this just be an exclusive with the bundle

How is it going up? I'm interested to see this mathematical theorem.

Dookie ass prices + fake value = up

Pretty sure they just farted in my mouth with this bundle, and that's a price hike if I ever tasted one.

Will wait until Black Friday and hope for discount on AC3 bundle ... the 60 gig model I have is getting a bit old in the tooth. Do the backwards compatible models still fetch any sort of premium? Maybe I should sell it now and go playstationless for awhile
 
This new Slim version will also do away with the front-loading disc drive in favor of the old school top-loading disc drive.

I still have my 60GB BC PS3 and the current 160GB Slim model...so no need for this model anytime soon. Maybe when they start selling for $100.
 
The current model looks so much better.
This one looks like they just flattened the original and changed the finish.
A 3rd redesign? Wonder what thats about, I thought sales were solid.
 
[quote name='SEGAMew']Still only 2 USB slots kills it for me =P[/QUOTE]

Are you aware that you can just hook up a USB hub to add more slots :roll:
 
hoping for a good deal at best buy this sunday on a ps3, since im guessing theyll want to clear out the current slims...would be real nice if they did it with the madden bundles as I dont really care about the design and id much rather have madden than uncharted
 
How in the world should this be $200? The current 250 GB PS3 with a game is $300. You're getting a slimmer PS3, a month of PSN+, a better game kind of (Uncharted 3 GOTY is better than Uncharted 3, and 250 GB harddrive.

Well, I mean, should it be $200? Yes. But will $ony let it be $200? Hell no, judging by the way they price their stuff.

Doesn't that potentially mess with the power supply? I've seen consoles short out with too many things plugged in to it.

Then why would you want more USB slots?

Furthermore, I'm sure they'll sell this system on its own.
 
I don't see why not, every other PS3 you can upgrade with any laptop HDD.

I think this deal was originally for when DUST was going to cost $20 and if uncharted 3 was better. if this drops in price it be good though.

Or it could come with like 4 USB ports so my friend (who mooches off my PS3) can charge his phone, headset, my PS3 controller, and my own phone at once and I don't have to turn on my laptop and PS3 at the same time.

while lol worthy it is a valid point.

the wii u comes with 4 USB spots.

the original 360 came with 3 USB spots

the slim models come with 5 USB spots

the older ps3's come with 4 usb spots and even and SD spot if i recall and some other slot

the slim ps3....removes everything but 2 yes only 2 usb spots.

so what we have learned here is....ps3 takes away features. but seriously in this day and age wtf does the ps3 only have 2 USB spots??? thats laughably sad.
 
On some sites I see a sort of demand for older model PS3s, and initially I thought it was because of backwards compatibility... but then I thought "What if they actually wanted more USB slots and media slots?"

They could buy a USB hub, as mentioned before.

Why are people complaining about USB slots now? This has been how it is since 2009. Would you really buy a new PS3 if it came with two extra USB slots?

Every fuckin thread or news article or whatever that is related to something Sony is doing has the dumbest, most inane complaints and whining in it. I don't get it. What did Sony do to cause this much animosity? What did I miss?
 
Being a SEGA fangirl, I nitpick about Sony like all the time.

I lost my Sonic '06 file because the public PS3 I was playing on had no media ports. 10+ hours of frustration gone :(

why should we have to buy a USB hub when all the other consoles except the wii come with 3 or more and older ps3 models came with 4.

use your head its removing crap for no reason at all.
 
I know, right? With the XBOX 720 coming out next year, and the PS4 a bit after that, why upgrade now?

Yes, I'm sure there's no reason. Nothing like making it lighter, slimmer, and cheaper to manufacture. No reason at all. Sony just thought, "fuck these extra slots and fuck whoever wants them. They're getting two and they're gonna like it!"

No reason at all.
 
[quote name='xRandizzy']is this backwards compatible or should I just cower back into my ps2 lair? :p[/QUOTE]

Specs and price indicates negative.

Wouldn't punching in two more USB holes make it even lighter?
 
Sony just fails at everything this generation don't they? It seems all they they do is take away features and try to pass the "savings" to the consumer by adding storage space/game which is irrelevant since the hdd's are so easily exchangeable. It's like they make a profit selling you a console with a bigger hard drive or something lol. PS3 should have been 200 dollars by now. It's hard to root for sony nowadays, with some many retarded decisions. The ps3 is a great machine which is why I was anticipating a price drop so more people can enjoy the great exclusives. Taking away linux, backwards compatibility to sell games as HD remasters, cineavia. For 270 dollars plus tax might as well get a wii u. And I thats exactly whats going to happen. The ps3 is the only current gen console I own and I grew up on the playstation brand but even I can see the error of their ways.

Sony has dropped the price of the PS3 ranging from $300-$350 since launch. While the xbox has only dropped $100 over the course of this whole generation plus it being 1 year older. So... Good Price + Fake value = down?

Even though most of us would like to see the next generation consoles appear... How many of us are going to buy games for full MSRP plus the cost of the console during launch? I'm sure this console update is good for those still holding onto a phat and never upgraded to the last slim.

Why do you need more then two USB ports? This isn't the 360 where it is common to see people using wired controllers or headsets.

Is there some sort of hack that requires the use of four usb ports? I can't for the life of me think of any reason I would need to use two concurrently let alone four.

And whether you like UC3 or not can you think of a better exclusive for them to bundle with the console? What do you geeks what them to do? Bundle in a JRPG? A mature title? Uncharted is perhaps the biggest and most recognizeable Sony exclusive not to mention family friendly.

I'm so glad that the for the bulk of you the only involvement you have in the video game industry is sitting on your ass bitching about it or we'd see the most rediculous consoles with 12 usb ports in rainbow colors being subsidized by the government so you could sell them for $15 and bundle them with import games that no one gives a shit about.

Last time I paid full MSRP on a console was 13 years ago (guess which one).


It boggles my mind as to how Sony could consider this anorexic thing an upgrade over the first gen PS3 :roll:

To charge 2+ cell phones, controllers, blue tooth, headset, and DSLite.

One of my other gripe about the PS3 is it coming in only black in the USA.

Correct, cookie for you! :D Though I did actually bought my Dreamcast approximately 2 weeks after launch.

If a Dreamcast 2 ever happens, my money = all gone
