PS3 is now $399 for the 80GB 2USB slot model.
$499 for 160GB 2USB slot model with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
However, a price drop is expected/rumored by the end of the year.

Pretty sure it always did have bluetooth. I have a bluetooth headset working with my fully BC 60 gig model (aka one of the first gen PS3s), which I sometimes use with Warhawk/SF2turbo/SF4.

Yea it always had Bluetooth.

I'm using a bluetooth headset too.

PS3 supports voice chat, just not cross game voice chat.

I played the demo and it was nice, but i don't like that kind of war games enough to buy it. Either way, if you liked the trial, i think you certainly enjoy the game. There's a lot of people online, so, if you like the multiplayer, you certainly will like this one.

Today the patch for Disgaea 3 was released. I downloaded it and my saves still works! I don't know why, but hey, i won't complain, hehe.

Ahem. Guess what protocol the PS3 has always used to talk to wireless equipment, such as... controllers.

Same goes for the Wii btw. Afaik Xbox 360 uses a propitiatory wireless protocol.

PS3 Slim Schedueled for October ?

The only fact I can vouch is :-

1) My main hardware supplier, who is a close associate with Sony, told me that their PS3 is in short supply until Fall.

2) PS3 is currently low in stock throughout the local market. Neither distributer nor retailer manage to get much restocks, if there are any in the first place.

Now I wonder if there will be a price drop associated with slim? Any speculation on the matter, Makube?

Not for me, mind you (I have first gen PS3), but a friend wants to know when the next price drop would be. He's been eyeing the PS3 for a long time already, and wants to get one but price still is the main factor.

No idea. But from my experience when dealing with old hardware, Retailers who have excess stocks of the Phat PS3 will tend to drop price on their part once the Slim is in. That's what I usually do too with any new toy. My pricing for the NDS Lite is $50 cheaper now that the NDSi is in with any losses covered by the new toy.

So you'll do best to get the Phat once the Slim is officially announced and try to use the fact as a bargaining chip.

And I'll tell you this, hold your horses if you intend to upgrade. I don't see how the Slim will dissipate the excess heat given it's size. I mean, my old PS2 from 2002 still runs.

I thought a price drop was rumored for next month? At least that's what I thought I read on Kotaku, but I can't find it.

Maybe this IS the 'price drop'...


I personally wouldn't 'upgrade' though, because unless Sony likes to waste more money, slim units won't be PS2 BC. And I for one like my (almost?) fully BC first-gen PS3.

Afaik there was news some time ago that Sony acquired a patent on full software PS2 emulation, which would make any PS3 potentially PS2 backwards compatible.

This would make sense, considering Sony can't keep offering just PSone titles as classic game downloads. They could make a killing if they could offer PS2 games that way too, and I'm pretty sure Sony knows that.

I myself am looking forward to the PS3 slim. It's not that my current PS3 isn't failing - it's working perfectly and as launch model it has full PS2 B/C, but the fan can get kinda loud if it's been running for a while. During games that's usually not a major issue, but the PS3 is also my primary DVD/BD player.

Well, I just bought a PS3 for Blazblue, I couldn't wait any longer lol

Does the PS3 really have overheating problems? The shop owner told its best to let it cool after 3 hours, but I heard of people leaving them on the entire day.

personally i found it really depends on the rooms ventilation, aka if you put it in a cabinet or such i would keep the doors wide open when you play. If you leave it out on the floor with the chance for the air to flow there really shouldn't be a issue.
