    " $299 in the US. That'll translate to 299 Euros and 29,980 yen in other regions." 
     
    Yeah ... if you are a fucking retard...
     
    Should be like 180-190 with correct conversion.

    Bravo Sony, that'll do nicely. No backwards compatibility is disappointing, but not that surprising.
     
    I'll pick one up for sure, glad I waited. Initially I was thinking it'd be an instant buy, but it may be worth putting that $300+ towards holiday games on consoles I already own. The PS3 Slim will be there on the other side. But who knows.. I've made worse impulse buys before..

    Why doesn't it look glossy and clean like the other PS3 model? 
     
    It looks like they used a PS2 finish on it.

    Its actually 211 euros.  Plus the shipping cost, 230 euros Tops.
    I actually kinda like that it isn't all shiny now. My PS3 has too much dust and fingerprints.

    PS3 is already £299 here so they can't rip us off with their "just make it 299 everywhere"  routine. 
     
    Betting it will be £250.

    So how can they justify a $250 PSP Go. That's just ludicrous right? RIGHT?

    Exactly, these motherfuckers think that 250 for a cheaper to make PSP is justified, and not just that, but a smart move? 
    This thing also looks like a cheap piece of crap, of course Sony has never been know to be real good with Aesthetics. 
    So how much will the PS3s out there right now drop to?  Will they sell the 160gb for 400 bucks?  The 80 for 299?

    looks kind of shitty, but hey it's about time. $250 for a PSPgo seems even worse now.

    If you go to the EU PSN Store and download the new EyePet trailer they have a PS3 Slim image at the end, clear as day.

    I think it looks kind of neat...in like a really weird way.  In a way where people come over and ask "what is that strange black box under your TV?".  I guess that implies I'd buy one though. :P

    I wonder if they're gonna discontinue the phat entierly. Looking at what's been going on in Japanese retailers lately, it seems like they're at least getting rid of the 80gb model.
