So in today's conference, Sony finally announced the PS3 slim. Hardly a surprise, but it's been a long time coming. Perhaps even more important is this: the price drop. Yes, the PS3 will FINALLY get a decent price drop to $299. While this still makes it the most expensive console, to me it places it in a more competitive seat.
For the past three years, the PS3 has gotten its ASS whooped by Nintendo and Microsoft. Everyone knows that Sony has the best hardware, but that price was just ridiculous; remember, it started out at $600. At $299, consumers can breathe a little easier digging into their pockets...that's about the same price as an iphone 3gs w/contract, and obviously people have had no problem dishing out money for those.
