I bought the original PlayStation 3 with 60 GB of memory for $600 (in January 2007), and I love it. The PS 3 Slim looks really nice. But beyond looks, this is the system Sony has been planning and hoping to introduce ever since the PlayStation 3 first came out in November 2006. What is incredible is that Sony (a $90 Billion company – based upon 2008 revenue) has finally delivered the ultimate gaming experience. The fact that they have sold 24 million PlayStation 3 (PS3) consoles in less than 3 years is astonishing, considering the initial high price ($600) of the PS 3 console. Yes, they lowered the price first from $600 to $500, and then to $400. But this price was still too high. Imagining the PS 3 selling for $400, competing against the Wii – which was (and is still) selling for $250, and the XBOX 360 (without a hard drive) selling for $199. In fact, the PS 3 overtook the XBOX 360 in sales, forcing Microsoft to sell the diskless version of the XBOX 360 in order to increase sales.

The new price of $299 spells a new era for the PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 3 now has a 120 GB hard drive, the Cell Processor, NVIDIA Graphics, Wireless Controllers, and a Blu-ray drive (which can hold 50 GB of game data on a single disk and also play Blu-ray movies at full high definition TV resolution of 1080p at 60 fps - frames per seconds), all for only $299. The PS 3 now cost only $50 more than the Nintendo Wii. The Wii has low resolution graphics, no hard drive, and sells for $250. Sony now has the most competitive gaming device on the planet – based upon features, game library, and price.

Conclusion:

A new era for the PlayStation 3 has begun at this new $299 price point. The PlayStation 2 sales surpassed 140 million in 9 years. The PlayStation 3 has sold 24 million in less than 3 years (at a high price point), but the real (PS 3) sales will now begin as the millions of PlayStation 2 gamers will now find that the PlayStation 3 is now more affordable – and they can play games in high definition (1080p) and can also play and enjoy watching Blu-ray movies as well on their television. Well done Sony!

dude what the hell did sony put in your ass to make you spout off that worthless marketing propaganda like that?
everyone knows that sony has performed the worst this console generation, and this is their attempt at getting back in the game.
the ps3 slim is mildly interesting, but what i'm most intrigued by is the price drop.
i've had a 360 for almost 2 years now and i've always wondered what the grass is like on the other side....maybe i'll take a look now.
"era of the 300 dollar ps3"-- here i come.

I'm not so sure it's Microsoft doing something well. People that get used to any product are more likely to keep using it for that exact reason: they're used to it. I never had any interest in the original Xbox or the 360. Why? I owned a PS1, then a PS2, so I continued with what I was familiar with.

Nothing against the 360 at all. I'm quite jealous of Xbox live. I'm just saying: to each his own.

Why was this down rated? His statements are true for alot of people. I agree about the "I think microsoft can further itself from the competition by making a few changes" Comments. Let me start

Integrate the WIFI
Make the HD generic so ANY SATA drive will work
Fix the RROD FOREVER
Give it a freaking Web browser and Flash support!]]>Aug 19th 2009 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Aug 19th 2009 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Good example is Sony. Back in the Days their TV quality was far beyond anyone else's. Now they just run on their name. TV is still good but too overpriced. People will still buy it because They did something right in the beginning and just coasted. MS has a great Live community, can't deny that. And the more people are on it, the more their friends are going to switch because "it's where everyone is". Whether or not they are going to coast is hard to tell, but I'll tell you something, my Netflix works great.

and making a smaller console isn't really a big deal since most people rarely move them, but putting out a new slim version of a console is a good way to boost sales.]]>Aug 19th 2009 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Aug 23rd 2009 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Aug 19th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Aug 19th 2009 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Aug 19th 2009 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Aug 19th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Aug 19th 2009 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Aug 19th 2009 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/Aug 19th 2009 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/yesterdays-playstation-news-all-in-one-place/
