PS3 Slim On Top

The PS3 Slim has been on sale for a couple weeks now at the new $299 price point. The PS3 slim has sold out at several retailers including BestBuy and Target.

It has been in and out of stock at internet retailer Amazon, but is currently back in stock. During the last few weeks, it has held a firm grip on the Amazon Bestsellers List.

Microsoft fired a salvo at Sony last week by matching the $299 price point with their Xbox 360 Elite (120GB) console bundle, but has yet to knock off the PS3 slim from the Bestsellers List.

any human with a brain would choose as their new console a PS3 Slim over other machines and when I say with a brain due to the fact that many brainless people might choose some other console!

Mike134nl6103d ago

Depends if your friends have a xbox 360 it makes sense to buy a xbox 360.
Second reason the xbox 360 has been hacked to play pirate games.

The_Darkest_Red6103d ago

The value at $299 is undeniable. If you are a real gamer, you need to own a PS3. There is just no reason to be a fanboy anymore.

LoVeRSaMa6103d ago

Red you speak the truth, bubblez!

Shadow Flare6103d ago

There are actually people on this site who defend microsoft for the rrod. Now thats what i call brainless

Australian Pricing:

PS3 Slim = $499 AUD

Xbox360 Elite + Halo ODST = $449 AUD after price drop ( from 22 sept down here )

At the moment $299USD = $357AUD

Once again Sony Australia has failed us.... well done the rest of the world..your Sony region is not run by greedy mindless morons.

Montrealien6102d ago

Red is correct, there is no reason to be a fanboy and shun any console for that natter. Getting a PS3 and a 360 is now the same price as what I paid for my PS3 60gb at launch, Crazy!

Poopface the 2nd6102d ago

I went there yesterday and got one. There were quite a few in a pile and on the shelf.

Christopher6102d ago (Edited 6102d ago )

But these articles are pretty useless. How many articles have we had in the last two weeks using Amazon.com's top video game sales chart as the primary source?

MerkinMax6102d ago

It's a very cool piece of technology. At first I didn't know what to think of the new design but it has grown on me. The physical buttons are really great. Now instead of holding your finger on the PS3 you can just press a button and it's over with. I really like how small it is though. It looks awesome next to my Phat PS3. The new design is actually great because it makes the console look so simple yet elegant. No more finger prints FTW! Anyone who does not have a PS3 should now get one. The key to having a great gaming experience is variety. I own both Xbox 360 and a PS3 because they both offer great games and compliment one another. Don't be a fanboy, be a gamer! /rant

ThanatosDMC6102d ago

I love it when they argue that the 3 year warranty makes RROD, disk scratching, and that new firmware error acceptable.

I'm thinking about selling my PS3 w/BC for a Slim right after i finish FF12 to my hearts content.

shawnsl656102d ago

"The PS3 Slim has been on sale for a couple weeks now"

Which planet have you been living on? It's barely out for a couple of days if not hours.

PS: Dell is selling the PS3 Slim for 255 ($279 after tax if you live in california). Although they are out of stock atm, got the deal from slickdeals.net

Jazz41086102d ago

MGOelite6103d ago

savage moon>pixeljunk monsters btw

raztad6103d ago

@iDetonation

Probably he is recommending games he has played dont you think? besides, all those games are must haves, well I'm not sure about Buzz! To be fair let us add some multiplats

Bioshock
Dead Space
Mirror Edge
Batman:AA
Battlefield:Bad Company

remanutd556102d ago

yes i do have Savage Moon too but i have had more fun with Pixeljunk Monster but i do respect your opinion , to the other guy IDETONATION he is asking for good games and im just giving my opinion on personal experience, i seriously think the exclusive games are the ones that make the system shine , i have Call of Duty 4 , Unreal Tournament 3 , Prince of Persia , Grand Theft Auto 4 all of them multiplats all are good multiplatform games too but im just giving my opinion on games i'd recommend , you might have other choices but thats you

The Killer6102d ago

i already set my mind for

1:MGS4
2:uncharted 1/uncharted 2 (do i need uncharted 1 to play 2??)

he is talking about Amazon
why the hell your so defensive ??

damn this website is full of fanboys

Dutch Boogie6103d ago

no need to get you panties in a bunch dude. he was just stating the truth. the 360 has been $199 for a whole bit and hasn't managed to pull the kind of attraction the ps3 at $299 is receiving.

IDetonation6103d ago

v1c10us wii fanboy?????!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr_Bun6103d ago (Edited 6103d ago )

Cancel your pre-order and purchase a Xbox360 so we can kick ass on xbox live you won't regret it. and you definitely wouldn't want to play Call of Duty modern warfare 2 on psn do you.

-x.Red.x-6103d ago

okay I'll buy a 360
oh wait

there's a better alternative for the same price.
nevermind

The_Beast6102d ago

burn my money then spend it on a sht box...

Gamer11116103d ago

not for long. but itll be nice while it last. sucks that the slim has no BC and is slowerrrr....makes it pointless for me to upgrade. ill pass the word on that its slower.

yoghurt6103d ago

ha ha. Slower, ok, tell us everything you know about it being slower, what difference it makes and why it means for you, you will not upgrade.

droid and bot6103d ago (Edited 6103d ago )

slower ??
its faster because the chip is smaller

and by the way to buy this kids crap
hes a 360 fanboy i saw him a lot of times on the open zone bashing the PS3

and the thing is
he's a little butt hurt the PS3 is selling like hot cakes

i mean
"not for long."

you got a crystal ball or something ?

Avenged Sevenfold6103d ago (Edited 6103d ago )

I personally didn't find it slower. Who are you to make assumptions when you haven't even bought it. I've had mine for a week and it was worth every penny.

Say bye to a bubble. I seriously can't stand seeing people like you having a right to express their opinion when it is so ignorant.

solidt126103d ago

Th Slim is not slower! There is no difference between the PS3 fat and slim when it comes to performance other than the size and the amount of power they consume.

Raf1k16103d ago (Edited 6103d ago )

I think he took these vids the wrong way:
http://www.sankakucomplex.c...

The first two vids show the PS3 Slim a tad slower when booting up and starting a Blu-Ray movie but the last two vids show that the Slim is actually quicker at running games (Batman: AA).

edit: I thought I'd add the N4G article too incase anyone wants to read some of the comments lol.
http://n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-...

Nineball21126103d ago

I think the only thing "slow" around here is Gamer1111.

Great job Sony. They've got another excellent product on the market and ppl are speaking with their wallets/purses.

Silly gameAr6102d ago (Edited 6102d ago )

Those two reason are all haters have now. The list of why "PS3 iz teh suks" is getting pretty small now in days.

Gamer11116102d ago

woooo i didnt mean for it to come out like that. i mean i have a ps3....only reason i have against it is no BC.....BUT the only games i want to play on my ps3 was gow series....but now they are being release on blu-ray....i dont care...

ME AND SONY ARE TIGHT SON.

THANKS SONY MUAH

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7726d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga26d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199225d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga25d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger25d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box26d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion25d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7226d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7526d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit26d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14926d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7726d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
