What a coincidence the Xbox 360 price is cut after the PS3 slim is announced, very corporate strategy. The PS3 slim has an advantage now the price of each console is similar, with added bluray, wifi, free online etc. Glad im posting again, theres so much going off on the PS3 front, i thought i'd stay stuck on my 100th post forever lol. 
sure looks like Microsoft are wetting their pets for fear right now. when one looks at a Xbox360 Elite and a PS3 marked at $299, it's no competition. they may have lowered the price on the Xbox, but that won't stop people from buying a PS3. with a ps3, people are getting so much more. free networking, an excellent media system with bluray, better exclusives, and more.
I don't want to be a fanboy and I don't consider myself one, but i am tired of Microsoft trying to sham their way out of trouble.

hmm Xbox 360 elite for 299 (not including xbox live + chance of RRoD)
OR
a ps3 slim (free psn, and no crashes) for 299
hmmm wow that's a really hard choice.

A lot of xbox 360 owners are pretty loyal... or crazy. This was posted on another forum i frequent and there the guys are saying they are considering getting another 360 
I already own a PS3 and am a very happy customer. I am glad that the new price is really getting the attention the console deserves. If Sony markets the slim right it could surely make them the #2 console or at the very least really close the gap with the 360.
Lowering the price of the Elite is hardly a price cut, customers will only pay less for a bigger hard drive and I wouldn't buy an Arcade because for it's price it just doesn't make a lot of sense because of all the extras I have to buy eventually.
Unless the Elite pack adds free gaming and wireless I bet a lot of gamers waiting for the "right price" will buy the PS3 slim and even some 360 owners will pick one up.

LOL... This is a complete no-brainer!!
Microsoft must have wet its little panties when the PS3 Slim and price was announced at Gamescom. And i wouldn't blame MS, as they should be VERY afraid, over the upcoming unavoidable and intense bashing it's going to suffer as from September 1st... until forever!
You just can't expect to possibly ever be able to beat a bluray drive with an ordinary DVD drive. LOL. And the best thing is, it's for the same price, so unless you're completely retarded, you must buy a PS3. The reign of the xbox360 (in sales numbers and popularity) is already over. You don't need to be a market analyst to see which of the PS3 or Xbox360, is going to lead in terms of sales and popularity.
BTW, i own both a PS3 and XBOX360, and i regret it everyday why i bought the XBOX360. The noise, the cheap construction and the lack of great exclusive games... it ALL goes in favor of Sony's console. You can't ever really realise the extent of the difference between these two machines, until you own one. My BIGGEST mistake to buy an xbox360! I would rather buy the PS3 Slim (that would make 2 PS3s, including the fat version that i have) and you know what... maybe i will. I will sell that xbox360 garbage can and buy me a nice new PS3 slim. One in my room, one in the living room. Ahh.. life is good again!

I honestly dont see the big deal about the slim, I really feel the better gaming is on the xbox, yeah there are a few titles on the ps3 that stand out, metal gear being one of them, I have not really touched my ps3 in close to a year now, but game every day on the 360 why you ask, because the online functions are night and day different, and with netflix who really cares about the bluray function.
I really think the 360 still is the better deal yeah I have had to send it back to Ms once due to the RROD but I also got the Yellow light on the ps3 and that had to go back to them as well, Live is less then $5 a month, and very well worth it, yeah online is free on ps3 but look how hacked call of duty is on there, no fun,.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. One is a leader in the industry and one is a follower that buys up companies to compete. They could make it $250 and it wouldn't matter much. Every gamer see's what games are multi console and what is exclusive. If I had $299, would I buy something that has the best AAA exclusives also knowing I get the AAA games that both consoles get, and free online play? Or one that is missing the blockbusters and I have to pay to play online. The reliability issues is a whole other story that forever haunts the Xbox.
Why is it that whenever PS3s free online gets mentioned the 360 crowd call them "miles apart" and bash the online capabilities of PS3? I've played them both with the same game (CoD 4) and online they seem pretty much the same, the only difference I saw was that it' is so much easier to contact friends on 360 but paying $5 a month just to be able to contact my friends online in a more comfortable way does not justify the price and with each firmware upgrade it becomes easier to do on PS3. It's about time MS made Live free at least just to play online and stop bleeding it's users for something that should be free.

talking about rrod (54%FR) & YLOD hahaha

..) before the ps3... btw ps3 is free! and i can save money! lol you should be happy that somebody reply to you because i usually don't reply for this kind of ignorant comment..
Microsoft a copycat. what else is new? 
- Apple wants a shop in that street, Microsoft puts their shop next to it.
- Sony launches a console (PS1), Microsoft thinks it can do better by launching one too.
- Mozilla implements smart search tool in firefox, Microsoft adds same functionality in IE.
- Sony drops price of their console, Microsoft announces price cut as well in the same period.
and the list goes on....
I'll be waiting for a Xbox360 slim announcement...
How come they don't copy the fact that mac users can buy their new OS (10.6?) for 30 euros, while Microsoft asks a price of 400 euros for their new OS. If you bought win98, xp, vista, they should at least give you a huge price cut. But I guess the MS mentallity = copy, steal and cash flows.

xbox360 is waaay better, i've owned both but got rid of ps3 due to lack of exploits and exclusive expansion packs,x box 360 you can flash it and play games very early that get leaked on internet weeks before official release dates eg batman arkham asylum so in the future when big games are coming out like mw2 we 360 owners will manage to get it early before it hits the shops.
ps3 owners have to wait for the shop date or if anyone manages to get original copies only.. also 360 games get exclusive downloadable content that microsoft signs or buys so ps3 games are missing dlc eg oblivion 4 on 360 has like 10 dlc ps3 has only 2, the 360 is exploitable so we can expect loads of homebrew hdd loaders soon,360 will be getting PERFECT DARK 2 with perfect dark 1 n64 being released on xbla, the 360 has the same games as ps3 so theres no difference so XBOX 360 IS THE BEST RUN BY A BILLIONAIRE BUSINESS MAN FOR F SAKES.

Guys, jesuz, rlly, plz stop hating Xbox
Its an amazing console, they both are.
You are like a bunch of 12 yo screaming: "mine is better".
RROD and e74 were permanently fixed on all models since summer 2008, dont bitch about that. 360 is still cheaper if you just want to play games. Here in europe you can pick up an arcrade for 179€ (with lips and 2 mics) and play every single game you want.
Not much ppl can afford 300 euro for a toy like playstation/xbox-elite.
Lets just make sure that none of the both consoles is dominating right now, there is no obvious choice.

With the price drop, the PS3 is the better deal.
Blu-ray
Wifi
Large HDD
Free PSN
That stuff alone will put you back quite a bit with a 360. One could make this argument before the price drop, now it is just absurd.

This is the second time i read that rrod was fixed online and I KNOW its utter bull. The first i read it was on kotaku when they mentioned a 360 slim rumour (yeah... good luck with that one, they dont even have a functioning fat yet) and the writer repeated it a couple times there like it was fact. They say jasper fixed it.
There is no way i'd be comfortable playing a console knowing that if the game i am playing pushes it, I might get a RROD. Thats just crazy... but the modding is tempting
