So I have to tag it as fake also. Seriously, it has everything a PS3 user has ever dreamt of in a Slim version with a $299 price tag. When has Sony ever met the communities full expectations? Exactly, never. That should be proof enough. In addition to all the comments above, this has that “it’s too good to be true” feeling. So I have to tag it as fake also.

In Bestbuy's case, the employee price is equal to cost plus an additional X%. When I said that Bestbuy doesn't make money on game consoles, I was referring to the instances where I would check both the employee price and regular price, and found them to be the same. @ Devon

The red flag are the games @$9.99 Uncharted ad LBP still have an msrp of $59.99, $9.99 is outrageous and is a huge loss for BB. My stores COST of uncharted an LBP is 52.99 we sell 'em for $59.99 @ all Anyone who says that a retailer doesn't make a dime off a console is lying, my store makes ~$5 for a 80gb and ~$7 for a 160gb. Same for the 360 by the way that definatly doesn’t look like a real ad, why look at the spacing on the 299 price, normal BB ads aren’t spaced that much.

All it would do is cost them money. Did anyone care when it went away? I don't remember hearing people screaming that they won't buy a PS3 now because it has no card reader. Four USB ports again? No. No reason. Other companies make hubs - that's why they took it out. Then there is the price of the games at the bottom, which would be sold at a massive loss, without question. Maybe this is a little sour grapes on my side (I just bought my 80GB non-backwards compatible model six months ago) but after Sony complaining about losing money for years, why would they do this? It doesn't get them any farther ahead... There is no sane reason on this planet for them to put a card reader back into the PS3. All it would do is cost them money. Did anyone care when it went away?
