I'm probably missing something but what's the point of a 299 SKU when upgrading the 199 one by yourself is cheaper?

They want really adapt family gaming style to bring fresh blood before new generations and more games focused PS Vita. I know this is for Polish market, but I think it's probably for whole Euroland, not sure about USA or Japan.
I want a $199 PS3. I was so bummed out that I didn't hop on that Black Friday deal last year.
If you living in Canada, walmart has a deal there with Uncharted trilogy for 199.
According to the Polish website, the 12GB model will be 199 and the 500GB model will be 299.
Can the 16GB model still use a HDD?
if that 199 price is true, i think sony's gonna have a great fall in terms of sales in europe.

I actually think 199 is not a great price for the 12GB model. I think a 179 price-tag as suggested before would have been much nicer.
Why would that be? You can get the 320GB one for 13 more. Well, atleast @ amazon.de.

Nope, the 4 gigs reserved for the OS and Cache cinches it (16 gig in FCC filing and 12 gig advertised). The Nand memory will be in all versions because it's used to Fast boot the OS and provide fast swaps of the webkit stack to game side. Adding a conventional drive just makes the combination act like a Hybrid drive. My opinion. Any other design would be stupid and AMD isn't stupid.There's no reason to think it won't seeing how Sony have handled it with previous models, it will probably be the exact same model as the other 4xxx models but with a bit of flash on a connector in the HDD slot instead, lol.
When is this getting announced for fuck sake?

so wait
I can't use my 2.5 hdd out of my bc ps3 and put it in the new one?
You should be able to if they do what they have done in the past, I see no reason why they would suddenly change their minds.
Also remember that any PS3 but the original one you take that HDD out of will format it.
20th 12 am easternTime? 11pm est?
Caught that did you <grin>.I'll take your word on it, lol, we'll find out regardless soon enough, though what does AMD have to do with it now, has there been sine development I've missed or is this just from your other posts and your supposed AMD SOC hardware?
Man said:Talked to my nearby Australian EB Games today (which has a singular employee, a mature reasonable guy in his forties unlike most such shops) and he told me that they had to send in all their (current) Slim stock and that they couldn't order more of that type.
When is this getting announced for fuck sake?
PS3 Slim + FREE Vita included.. Only for $599 US Dollars!!!
In this case it might just be redistribution to bigger EB shops internally (where they sell faster). My local one is in a small shopping center with only about 15-20 shops out here in the suburbs, almost seems out of place. Probably the reason why they seem to have only one or two employees.Pulling current stock to be sent back to Sony allowing only the new version in the stores, has this been done before?
Darn, hoping for an indication. I noticed you aren't taking any chances when you changed your order to the PS3 4K <grin>. We just don't know what's coming....suspect...guess....hope but not know.In this case it might just be redistribution to bigger EB shops internally (where they sell faster).

Thank. fucking. god.Tomorrow at the earliest.
Why that much? Sony could put such a bundle for 399. It would be a great move honestly.
We're close to that just being retail. Maybe a bundle for $350 as a big "Fuck WiiU"?
That would actually be amazing. Sony would probably even break even on the bundle as PS3 profits would get knocked-off.
Can't wait for Yoshida's "Hi Iwata" tweet.
Cross-Play is cool and all but there's way too little software using that feature to support such a bundle (LittleBigPlanet 2 and...?).
Here's a definition of all the Cross jargon:
Cross-Buy: Titles that are part of a program where buying one SKU will net you a copy of the game on a different platform.
Cross-Controller: Using Vita as a controller in PS3 games.
Cross-Play: Games that feature modes where users on both Vita and PS3 can play with each other.
Cross-Save: Transfer saves from PS3 to Vita and vice versa.
No way would that bundle go for any less than $399...PS3+PSV+PSASBR+8GB Vita Mem=$349=Winner.
That's even enough to play Battle Royale multi-player in the box, something the WiiU Deluxe can't claim.
