I Give You, The PS3 Slim!

Oh boy, Microsoft is heating things up, kindof. Sorry to interrupt here, but I think I'll interject this picture into the discussion:

Now, there's not much to the Elite vs. the Pro version, but if Microsoft went out of their way to hellishly lower the Pro price, to somewhere around $199, then I could see people pretty much giving up the idea of buying a PS3. There is discussion as to this is just getting rid of old stock due to Microsoft adding the "final chipset" to their 360.

Microsoft isn't that bad of company. They'll repair your system. Replace it even I think.

Actually, the pro is getting axed. The Arcade bundle will remain at the $199 mark and the Elite with drop down to $299, like in the picture. Why they'd axe the Pro, I don't know (lol). It seems kind of important to include a hard drive with this generation. A good chuck of today's games have been DLC driven, expanding the life-time of games longer than the original content provided. Look at Fallout 3. The final expansion was just released last month, almost reaching a full year life cycle.

And, about 6 months when I got my RROD of my first Xbox, Microsoft sent me a brand new one. It was also a newer model, because my last didn't have an HDMI port but the new one did. To clarify, I had my first Xbox which I got the RROD then I upgraded to the Elite about a year later.
