El-Dev	0 1 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Doubt it, maybe £219 at best. I still think the launch model looks good and I'm suprised they brought this out so early in the life cycle. But, then again this may be their chance to relaunch it. £250 is a decent price as well, I suspect the retailers will have a few good bundles in time for Christmas. Report Reply

Karlius	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Yer it is a good looking machine even if it is a bit George Forman looking! Very shine etc. All the machines are good looking this gen though! Depending on how slim the slim is I may get one at Christmas but getting Married a Year June so maybe not lol. Report Reply

El-Dev	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post It is a wise move by Sony, they haven't played their final card if this price cut doesn't work, meaning they can drop it further if needs be. It may stimulate sales but I don't think demand will be crazy. I may be mistaken, but I don't think so. Even though the 360 has had an increase they can still market it as being nearly £100 cheaper than the PS3. Report Reply
