Sony officially announces $299 PS3 Slim

[Al Bundy]

i really wouldnt get xbox because of the monthly payment for xbox live

you can go 50 bucks for the year.

that comes to less than 50 cents a day, i believe.

or 8.99 a month

that's paying double of what you could pay, why would anyone do that?

the only thing PS3 has on Xbox is free online & it doesn't break as easily.

i can afford 9 bucks a month compared to dropping 50 straight up. doesn't matter though, i haven't paid for xbox live in over a year

but strangely the original PS3 that came out is better than the ones that are out right now,

no they're not, the original launch 60GB have loads of problems, they get YLOD and the red flashing light, its the new 80GBs which are fine, trust me i've been through 3 60GBs and know atleast a dozen people who are on atleast their 2nd 60GB, and to make it even more fucked up it now costs £145 to get a refurbished with a 3 month warranty which is bollocks

so i finally came to my senses and got a 360 elite

Been through 3? What did you do to them? lol. The failure rate of YLOD is nothing compared to ROD.

lol 1st time Blu-Ray drive stopped reading disks, 2nd one broke within 3 months with YLOD and then my 3rd recently died thru the red flashing light bollocks

I know 360s have/had bigger issues but they're not as bad as they once were and atleast theres a 3 year warranty for RROD unlike Sony charging you £145 for a refurbished with a rip-off 3 month warranty

just take a hair dryer to the fan hole while the thig is running. get your 4th replacement1

Yep.  Getting ready to rape us for Christmas.  Cuz you know those fuckin' kids are going to want the "new" one.  Shit.  Ain't nothing wrong with the "old" one.  Who cares that you had to buy a larger entertainment unit to fit the PS3 into.

xbox 360 for life.. ps3's online is so shitty it doesnt even compare.. yeah you pay for xbox live but you dont even need a cable box or jumping in the ride and hitting the video store in the neighborhood anymore ever since that partnership with netflix where you can just watch a live stream on your t.v. HD or not. not just movies but also t.v. shows.. music videos.. on demand

[G-Funk]

Now that's a price I can go with, but I hear this new one isn't backwards compatible.

Anyone else think Sony might go the route of Sega Dreamcast?

I think they stated a long time ago that they would stop the video game business after PS3.

I already have Netflix, so I already don't need to drive to the local video store.  Usually the live stream has bad movies, and the movies that are there that are good I've most likely seen them.  Can this be done on the 360?  Recently Fat Princess came out, and it was 15 dollars.  Now you can get four of your friends to all chip in and buy the game.  With one purchase, that game can be in 5 systems.
