“time division synchronizers”

Due to the Heisenberg Principle your PS3 will be both slim and non-slim at the same time, until you open the box. Quantum marketing FTW!

@Voyou San
Well it is not a dream since I believe it to be a soon to come reality

@SPD55
IDK about releasing another PS3 SKU with more HDD space. I feel that they are taking out the 80GB to introduce the Slim with 80GB HDD space. I don’t think they will release another PS3 with just more HDD space. It would be a bad idea IMO.

I want to say the PS3 Slim if it is “real” will come out in the $250-299 price range while the 160GB will come down to the $350-399 range just a $100 increase of the Slim. This way Sony would be guaranteed profit seeing that the original PS3 should cost around $270 to make while the Slim probably cost a lot less make since it is smaller

Sony claimed that the production price for the PS3 has gone down 70% (around $240+). It would be a good strike on other competitors if they’ll bring the price down to $250 (Now, that’s cheap!). If that happens, I’ll most likely get another one for the living room.

They could be ramping up for a price drop into the Holiday buying season. If they drop the price to $299 that would spur demand. It has been said that a Slim at this point in time would be a little premature when you consider the lifecycle of the PS2 and when they introduced the Slim… And look at the features that were included with the Slim, they added an Ethernet port to the console with out having to add the HDD option…

So in my OPINION it would be to ramp up production of 160gb and introduce maybe a 320 or 250gb model…

It could also mean a price drop is coming, but the Slim is more likely.
