I called eb and it is 49.99 + 2 of your own games with tiv over 8 bucks for a new ps3 slim. What i read from the op was we would receive 2 games? Which is incorrect.

i did a quick search in the ps3 thread and does not look like the information is out there... so i decided to post here. It is a good news for current PS3 owner and would like to own the slim version.


My friend went to the EB by the Queensborough bridge and found out you can bring in your old fat PS3 and get a slim version + 2 free games for $49.99.

Source is 99% confirmed, better act on it ASAP.


Cheers !!!!!
you say 80gig +$49.99 for slim and + 2 games
PS3 thread says 80GIG + 2games + $49.99 for slim


yours sounds more reasonable, other one is total scam

go to best buy, I think they are offering a free game to prevent you from returning the phat one.

But if it's >30 days, then you are out of luck

ilvtofu do you read? oO Its a Fat PS3 + 2 Games + $50 = a Slim PS3


The PS3 Slim is:

Smaller
Quieter (by 10db)
Bitstreams lossless audio (it means nothing other than seeing your receiver say "Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HDMA" instead of MPCM,PCM)
uses less energy (45nm chip, etc, etc)
supposedly operates faster (yet to be confirmed but rumored)

doesnt let you install Linux anymore

Slim can output Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD as Bitstream, so less distortion for you audiophiles. Linky

I also read somewhere that the slim uses 34% less power than the original as a result of more efficient circuitry and smaller transistors.

I don't know for sure, but if Futureshop hear you are going to return that because "BB is having x promotion", chances are they will match it provided you have printouts
