GameStop: PS3 sales remain 'very strong' post price cut

I just bought a slim, I'm sick of the "phat" PS3s. 20GBs keep crapping out on me.

I dont understand? is that supposed to be 9 BILLION dollars of debt for the xbox and the zune? Because there's just no way that's possible. for one thing, didnt microsoft confirm last april that it was the first time the xbox had been profitable? and second, come on 9 BILLION?! For two products? You're just making that shit up right?

I got mine after the price drop, though I didn't wait for a slim. I just picked up a used Ps3 60gb for $250.

I may buy a PS3 again but am still scared of the build quality issues, hope they are fixed in the slim PS3, better fucking be.

I'd love to get a 60gb PS3 again but those are fucking ticking time-bombs, just like the launch 360s, they WILL fail, its just a question of when.

got mine off of gametz.com a month before the slim was announced and only rumoured. And since it was rumoured, everyone was looking to sell theirs cheaper then they originally would. Got my for $285.

Bought mine just before Circuit City went out of business then just bought my son his this week. Couldn't resist the lower price and hardware any longer. Besides he was taking up my system too much. : )

I actually got mine about a month before the price cut...
I'd feel like an idiot for not waiting for the slim, but running Linux was actually the major selling point for me.

metal gear solid bundle bought last year here. the wife bought a slim for the bedroom during re-launch.

80gb Motorstorm Bundle!

"For a moment, let's ignore the billions Sony has lost on the PS3 so far"

Sure why not we've been ignoring the billions that M$ has lost on the xbox line, hell you guys haven't even tried to count it up, but to be fair it's because they spend so much money it'd be like counting the drops in the ocean.

I sure also saying that the PS3 sells well has to be murdering Gamestop employee's considering how much they shat on the PS3 the first 2 years. I bought my PS3, 3 years ago as of this upcoming Black Friday, and I agree It's paid for itself easily. (as opposed to having to still spend 50 bucks a year just to play online...)

Got me an 80 gig model before they switched over to non-backwards-compatible models. I'm happy.

At ryamcw, you'll have to sign in then go to account management, then go to edit account information & you should see the option for changing your avatar. If you want to change your online name you'll have to create a new account (near the option for turning off your system). Back on topic. I got my 60gb in 2008, it was an early xmas present to myself.

I got mine just after the price drop, but I nearly bought the Uncharted bundle just weeks before the slim was announced.

I saved a good $200.

[QQQQ]

refurb (roxors!) 40gb off of sonystyle for $220, right after the price drop. With the $80 I saved over the slim, I get linux, a slightly faster blu-ray drive, and shiny.

If you bought it at launch, doesn't that mean you've just had to endure a longer wait for decent software implementation? I bought it after the first price drop and still felt cheated.

OK, Ill explain it for those too stupid to work out that are being played by selective reporting and manipulating accounting.

When Microsoft and Joystiq report than Microsoft made money, it means they made money IN THAT QUARTER. Microsoft cleverly reserved money for upcoming expenses like 360 development (3.2bn), and RROD (1.2bn, but nearly double that now).

What this means, is they had horendously bad quarters in the ones they reserved that money, but then everything looked great in the following quarters because all the expenses were coming out he reserve pot.

The fact remains (regardless of Joystiqs selective reporting) Microsoft have lost nearly $9bn to date on the Xbox/Zune division (I mention Zune, as it's in the same financial group as Xbox). They lost £3.6bn alone on the original Xbox venture, they wasted another £3bn on 360 development and they have lost $2.2bn on RROD.

What people forget, Sony's $5bn loss includes Blu-Ray and Cell development, both of which will pay dividends long after the 10yr PS3 lifecycle. PS3 $5bn include alot of investment, Microsofts are pure loss, what can they take away from Xbox and use in the next system? The CPU? nope, the DVD drive?

I got a 40GB.

60GB launch unit with Resistance: FOTM. Still rocking my world with almost daily use.
