Microsoft is dropping prices all over the world now. The U.S. just got a $50 price cut on all their systems and some new cheap bundles have been announced for the holidays.
It's great to see Microsoft making such a move. Though long overdue, I guess the guys below me are right, Microsoft were waiting for the right moment to strike. On a different note, I'm actually buying one of the new PS3's in preparation for The Last of Us.
@RichTheRookie Hey which one is better the old PS3 slim or the one that just came out? I'm pretty sure Sony did something different removed/add a feature or two.
@TheArcade In terms of quality of the overall build, I'd say the old PS3 Slim, as the new one feels kinda cheap IMO. The new one has a slide out disc tray (whereas the old one had an auto disc-loader) and fails to come with a HD cord out of the box. Not to mention it didn't have an IT sensor. Granted, it's considerably smaller than the old PS3 Slim, but I just wish Sony didn't make such cost-cutting shortcuts with this model. Hey, maybe they were trying to get in touch with their PS3 Fat vibe, who knows. I'll be writing an article soon regarding 'Old PS3 Slim vs New PS3 Slim' on www.nizulo.com. Would be good to have you swing by and check it out for more info. Other than that, they pretty much do the exact same thing. How that helped :)
FINALLY!!!
Microsoft must have been waiting to counter Sony. They saw sales were steady and so they waited until PS3 gains a little inch just before they started growing to alarming levels BAM! Counter. Of couse this is only active in the Aussie land right now. Now wait and see if this strategy proves effective.
