PS3 Slim Hitting Early?

We all know that the 80gb PS3 is sold out almost nationwide and stores will not be receiving any more of them. This could mean nearly two weeks of no PS3s on shelves being a loss for Sony, especially with all of the current hype. Sony already has PS3 slims manufactured and boxed, but have yet to ship them out. Could Sony possibly decide to release it earlier than expected to meet up with the demand?

It can change anytime whnever gamespot wants.

sonarus5357d ago

It will take a while to get rid of ALL the PS3's already shipped by sony. Just because its not stocked in stores at the moment doesn't mean there aren't still PS3's in circulation. I expect the 80GB PS3 to be in circulation till after the slim drops where sony will probably drop the price even more to 250 to clear stock for good

spongeboob5357d ago

Well the Bestbuy here in Canada has the estimated release date as Aug 26. It will be interesting come next Tuesday/Wednesday with the release of Batman AA which Bestbuy Canada has at $38 and the new PS3. It's going to be a madhouse.

sonarus5357d ago (Edited 5357d ago )

lol are you implying batman will help sell PS3?
PS3 slim will sell itself. Expect strong advertising with all the PS3 games Madden 10, COD, Uncharted 2 ROTC and the upcoming ones featured such as heavy rain MAG e.t.c Sony if they can get a good ad campaign should have a strong xmas season

blind-reaper5357d ago

Gamestop have an ETA aug 24 http://www.gamestop.com/Cat... I guess Sony will ship consoles whenever consoles start to scarce

raztad5357d ago (Edited 5357d ago )

@sonarus

Nope, I think you misread him. He is saying that Batman:AA is at $38 <---Look at the number carefully, it doesnt ring a bell? :D and additionally Slim PS3 released the very same day will be an absolutely crazy day at Best Buy. He is right obviously, and I think is safe to say that at this stage the Slim will sell alone, it doesnt need to come with any game.

indysurfn5357d ago

I pity the fool that gets the george forman PS3 instead of the newer, cooler, less electricity bill causing, larger hard drive having PS3 slim.

ElVeneno5357d ago

...i was unaware gamespot was responsible for release dates of consoles. ;) i kid

rockleex5356d ago

This is like the second launching of the PS3. It has FINALLY reached the PS2's original launch price.

In case you forgot how amazing the PS9 commercial was, especially compared to Sony's other commercials, here's a video of it. ^_^

It would be very fitting, especially with the PS Eye, Sony Motion Controller, and 3D coming to PS3.

Nitrowolf25357d ago

not only them but other retail have it as the 25th

offtopic: wtf my local target is not aware of the price drop, i told the dude and he said there was no price drop.

-Mezzo-5357d ago

They might be trying to rack in some extra cash.lol

LinuxGuru5357d ago

Simple. Don't buy from Target lol.

NewScratch5357d ago

i was just at target and the 80gb was still $399

xtreampro5357d ago

Nitrowolf2 don't worry about it. I'll go over to your Target store and give them a nice juicy slap across the face.

Golfcoachh5357d ago

Had 10 of them on the shelves today, and my local walmart had 5 sitting in the locked cabinet. Of course I do live in Billings Montana, but hey, there not sold out everywhere.

rhood0225357d ago

Two Best Buys near downtown Dallas and a Gamestop in Arlington too.

Golfcoachh5357d ago

about it. Hey its not a knock on the ps3 I am just saying the article is misleading, its not out everywhere, and since I posted that I called the other walmart, they have them, target, they got em, gamestop, they got em, kmart they got em shopko, they got em. I of course will wait for the slim so I can have another ps3 for my bedroom. I just don't get fanboys on either side, say something that might desicrate there all powerfull system and you get a disagree, what a bunch of children. Why I even mess with this sight is beyond me, well it is entertaining to see the trolls and fanboys get there panty's in a wad over every other article on this site.

aceitman5357d ago

go and take a pic and have a current advertisment with the pic showing the 80 gig for all we know u mught have seen the 160 gig instead of the 80

Golfcoachh5356d ago

Just go to bestbuy.com and choose a store to get it at, if they got it it will show, and billings montana still shows that they have them in stock right now. Not that hard to figure out, you can type in any city and yes some are out, but most that I have typed in show in stock. And trust me from past experience with this, if it says they got it they do. There system is updated in real time. Why am I even bothering. Fanboys. Good God.

Ju5356d ago

How can you get 6 disagrees from Billings? You're only 5 up there, no ? LOL (sorry, I had to say it j/k).

I think Sony should send out more 80GB models to get more cash...

This Year is the definitive year of Sony

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC1h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer2h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

70 percent of devs unsure of live-service games sustainability

With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.

It was worrisome to begin with.

It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.

Cacabunga1d 7h ago

I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.

CrimsonWing692d ago

What’s to be unsure of!? Look at the ratio of success to failure!

DarXyde1d 10h ago

It's pretty ridiculous.

Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.

shinoff21832d ago

Yes. Stop all the live service bs.

jznrpg2d ago

Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.

MIDGETonSTILTS172d ago

Helldivers 2 manages just fine…

Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.

Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.

Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
