Has anybody seen anywhere in the UK (apart from the green supermarket) which has knocked down PS3 prices? Feels like we're being left out! 
A retailer has put their PS3 price up from £279 to £293. Wonder if they are after a few extra bob before something is announced tomorrow...

Not yet, just the one you hinted at, I guess most are waiting for the official announcement. Also heard that Sony are holding on resupplying stocks until the end of this month in preperation for a newer PS3 model or something.

Was just coming here to post that, that is the first 'real' advert that seems to indicate that a slim really is coming.

£299
So your saying there is no price drop on the SLIM ? but the PHAT will drop in price ?
If it is £299 with no new features, I can see it not selling that well in USA and EU tbh. I can see it selling by the bucketload in Japan as they love small stuff.
I reckon by the end of today we will either have RRPs of
£299 for slim
£249 for phat
OR
£249 slim
£199 for phat
Dunno about HDD sizes though. Surely 120 or above for the top end model to compete with 360 Elite that has 120GB.

Depends on when and if MS are really getting rid of the 'Pro' SKU, that could in effect help increase PS3 sales considerably.
Didn't get any news on the original PS3 unfortunately. I guess it makes sense to if they are "supposedly" bringing in the Slim at £299.
Could it be a two-stage strategy? Bring out the Slim first at full retail price so that the "must-have-new-gadget" brigade get it and then as that novelty wanes near the Christmas shopping season in November, whack the price down to £249 or something.
I reckon the Pro is gone. In the Uk it seems annoying that Arcade has gone up in price, but I bet the Elite will drop from it's £229 RRP to £199 or something.
So it could be PhatS3 against Elite (pricewise).
Anyone know what time is this conference? I am sure some people said it was 2pm, but someone else said it is same time as the PSN downtime. 6pm.
