Without any new features, it's a no-sale for me. I could really care less about the size of the machine. If it had backward compatibility I would have bought one.

Honestly they should just stop producing ps2's. When those run out then people would have no choice but to buy a ps3 if theirs broke or they wanted to play some ps2 games. Except for used, but a lot of people don't like to buy used.

Penny Arcade was brutal:
Reporters can't seem to decide if the three hundred dollar PS3 Slim is awesome or too awesome, when it's actually a barbed black crown of shame, and that's more or less the end of the discussion. It can't be seen as anything but a concession to a market that has consistently chosen their competitor's products - an act of contrition, the purest evidence possible that this brand is no longer sufficient to sway consumers. There is an optional stand available that allows you to stand the system vertically, on its side - making the system a literal tombstone, as well as a figurative one.

Exactly. But cheaper. To expect a $100.00 price drop PLUS more features would be a bit too much.
I would think that Sony is going to develop a software based BC and offer it as a download off the PSN store at a cost.

Compare this to Nintendo, who has actually increased (via the DSi) the cost-to-own of one of their platforms. (And unlike the Elite or the 160GB PS3, the DSi is a very strong seller).

EDIT: For the record I finally got a Slim on BF for $299 with LBP:GOTY and R&C:CiT included. Will be used for exclusives and as a backup Blu-Ray player which can also be moved to another room. Also got Uncharted, which is great. (Edited instead of posting b/c it's not worth the thread bump
)
