Paradise is a good game...there's a slim chance you can get it for $5 for PS3 version and cant really compare retail with CL

okay it's a decent deal..not the best
your technically just saving on a remote which is $25

How odd is it that BestBuy and Futureshop are not advertising the PS3 Slim in their National Weekly Flyers (they did online though) and are only displaying the PS3 160GB with games/accessories package so that the listing price is $499.99

and yet they show the Xbox Elite with games/accessories for $329.99

they don't even mention the new pricepoint of the ps3s


Microsoft must have paid em $$$

everything must be a conspiracy against sony

It seems to me that unless you heard about it online, or are lucky enough to stumble across one in the store, you wouldn't even notice the Slim is out.

just an FYI

u guys might know already but im just learning about it ;)

the PS3 Slim has a link system where u can connect it with your capable tv so that you can control it with ur televisions remote such as Bravia tv's with "Bravia Link" and even Sharp tvs with their linking system

there's videos online already of how a guy with a sharp lcd can control his ps3 through his television, even powering on and off (when u power on the tv the ps3 turns on too)

so thats a + for ppl who want to use their logitech remotes i guess

^depends on the TV. I'm pretty sure my Toshiba Regza HDTV doesnt support it.

But if you wanna use your Logitch Harmony (like I do), buy this: http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/prodde...02&catid=27031

Plug the USB dongle into the PS3, and program all the needed buttons from the Nyko remote onto your Harmony.

OR, they were trying to clean out the fat PS3 stocks?

Just a thought, I mean, Microsoft IS EVIL!

Even EB features the fat PS3 on the front page of their site without mention of the slim.

ps3 slim shuts down!!
 

hey guys,

just unboxed my slim.. within an hour, it turned off on me at likes 8-10 times.

any ideas? i'll probably just be refunding this now, it's pissing me off

^ why not call support?

Is there a program you can download to allow the slim to run backwards compatability and allow it to play PS2 games?

lol, good call.

Umm no

^

Oh thanks, cause that's what I was thinking too. But I was over at my friends house today and he was playing some PS2 games on his original version PS3 but I thought none of the PS3's were created with backwards compatibility. And then he went on about downloading some program or something that allowed him to do that. Thanks for clearing that up though!

^ your friend is silly.

Can the PS3 play fake or asia code DVDs or is it region locked to only NA for DVDs? I need a blu-ray/dvd player, might as well get a PS3 :p

we just got them at london drugs... apparently in our e-mail it said we can sell once we receive it. on the box it said street date sept 1st but sony put a sticker over it that said ignore street date o_O

Got mine today, looks better than I thought! <3

That's this..it's only used for 60/20GB old 80GB that uses PS2 games that needs installation.

it has nothing to do with backwards compatibility.

hmm.. sweet, imma wait for the old ps3's to drop in price.. im assuming the old 80gb fat ones will drop at least 50 or 100 bucks ( to clear shelving room ) ..

finally fukcing sony i was getting pissed off how xbox was kicking there ass for so god dam long.. lol.. ( me = total sony fan boy hahaha ) tho.. i do have a xbox lol

finally in a flyer, The Sources email flyer has it at the bottom.

The 80GB already did drop - it's $299

I think he means that the price drops below the price of the slim

^
Roger that. since its 80gb fat ps3 for 299, while the new slim has 120gb for 299? .. seems a bit off there ..
