Title: New, Cheaper PS3 Slim coming in September $299
Post by: oldskool on August 18, 2009, 12:27:17 PM

Interesting, I kind of like how it looks actually.  Another price drop or four and I might consider.   :-k

If this is legit this time, I'll buy one even though I already have an 80 gig PS3, since I want a second bluray player anyway.

It is legit.  Hopefully it can finally bitstream DolbyTrueHD and DTSHDMA.

For any body who was waiting on that now is the time to get one.

As for me it's too late heck i just bought me a used (60GB PS3) through a member at neo-geo.com  :mrgreen:

Right now i'm just waiting for it to arrive in the mail  :dance:

Btw all what the PS3 slim looks like.

Pictures of it compared to a crap load of other systems including our beloved Turbo Duo!

That's awesome.  It looks slightly less wide than the Duo.  Surprising.  I'd still rather play the Duo, though.
