SONY WTF????? Sell your hardware at a fair price and get a damn clue about supporting it. Extend the warranties and publicly admit to the PS3 hardware failures, instead of acting as if it doesnt exist.
im going to play devils advocate a bit here. they have supported the PS2 way longer than what was expected of them.

:lol: My xbox 360 is a perfect DC stand. Not out of disrespect though.

I'm shocked about the ps3 slim, period. Sept 1 release date. wow. And the price isn't bad. Might be a good move for Sony.

Gary_b, I'm also surprised how long they supported the PS2. Props to them. I wish Sega could have done the same. With rumors about Sony not making another, I wonder how long they will support the PS3.

My extremely uneducated guess would be 2012. I used to own a PS1 for a few months. That motorcycle game was awesome and the Spongebob game was good (I was like 7!) but I didn't have a memory card :P. Since then the only Sony product I have is a VCR I found at Goodwill and Metal Gear Solid (To use with Bleemcast.)

Recent years: Sony fail.

You pour waffle batter into the disc slot. You come back when steaming stops, press eject and vola! A delicious waffle. Way more entertaining and advanced than the PS3s main functions...

I read the Slim has absolutely no backwards compatibilty with PS1 and PS2 games either. What a failure.

Is this expensive beast still a blasted slot loader or have they corrected that disc destroying design flaw from another decade?
