I believe George is referring to using an external hard drive.

Yup Jason, from everything I've read, these 16gb slims can be upgraded with a HDD like the rest. This is the entry point and a way for Sony to sell their PS3 anywhere from $129-$199 since nobody is 100% sure yet on the cost. If this thing comes in at $129, MSFT will have to drop the 4gb price, but the WiiU imo could be in a world of hurt.

Either way, sounds like right now would be the sweet spot to sell a fat backward compatible PS3 before this hits and the rumored streaming backward compatibility offerings.

$130 would be insane since there are BR players alone that sell for that price.

Yeah, I'd get this cause then you could theoretically also game in more rooms. Would be a stellar deal if true.

I'm pretty sure I would purchase a PS3 at that price.

That would be awesome for that price. But I would hold off a little and make sure they don't have any issues with it first.

But after I know it's not going to have technical issues I would be jumping on that.
