i find it really odd that in the newspaper ads the ps3 slim and the now lower ps3 80gb is nowhere to be found. Anyone else find this odd?

Because the price cut means there's going to be less money comming in with each system sold, so they can't afford to market it.

j/k. I don't know why we haven't seen any commercials for it. I'm sure it'll be mentioned at the end of PS3 game commercials, though.

Maybe it's too soon...? There have been some advertisements made for Europe, though.

Yep, same here in England, we've had adverts in papers (one was an offer for a slim plus ghostbusters for 219.99 :D), plus i've seen more adverts on TV in the past 2 days than i've seen in the past 2 years.

It's part of they're budget. They dropped the price so they had to cut out marketing funds.

Well the slim was just announced last week. I think Sony waited as long as possible before they could announce a price drop. It takes retailers 3 weeks to put ads up after the price drops have been made official from Sony. I know they all knew the price drop was coming but since it's not suppose to officially start until next week I am guessing we won't be seeing any ads for the new lower price until at least 2 weeks from now.

Well this isn't on Sony's part, but there's an ad on Yahoo! about the slim and it being a better deal than the 299 elite. Yahoo's a heavily used site.

Funny now that I can't go anywhere on the internet without seeing that ^ PS3 ad lol. It's even on Myspace's front page. I haven't seen any of those commercials on TV yet though.
