I don't know why anyone would expect hardware bc on this unit.  They're trying to sell PS3 games, plus adding the additional hardware would have just made the unit more expensive.

Isn't the PS2 like 100% profit for Sony now? It costs nothing but pride for them to slap a EE/GS chip in it. They just don't want people buying superior PS2 games to play on their PS Triple.

a selling point over the PS3 Phat? If the PS3Phat is 299.99 as well theres no reason to buy a PS3 Slim really.

I'm sure they will have some on the front.  If there isn't one on the back, especially with how they're putting focus on the PS eye, that would be really dumb.  The one thing I really hate about the current PS3 design (other than the dust) is that everything needs to be plugged in from the front.

Although the price drop was long overdue, the timing is pretty good. The economy is looking like its could be turning around and blu-ray is gaining some momentum.

i'm surprised, i thought for sure they'd tough out one more holiday season at $399 and price drop next spring

feature-wise a $299 PS3 is certainly more appealing than 360, but i can see MS countering by dropping the elite to $250 and arcade to $150 before the holiday

it's all about the games now

New PS3 model = cheaper to make = ability to actually drop the price now. It wouldn't be advantageous to Sony to miss another holiday season or to release the PS3 slim in the spring.

Actually I disagree. At this point I think the bandwagon effect has taken full force and little to nothing will massively change things. You could release all the games on one platform and none of them on the another (coughWiicough) and things wouldn't change much.
