RUMOUR: PS3 Slim Coming Very Soon!

We haven't heard much about the PS3 slim since E3, but that doesn't mean it's been entirely quiet out there -- the hot rumor today is that Sony's signed manufacturing agreements with both Foxconn and Pegatron to build the revised model in time for July delivery. That much we believe, since it's been backed up by a couple different credible reports, but here's where it gets totally insane: there's a suggestion that the slim will be the last PS3 model of this generation, and that a next-gen console based on Sony's motion controller is due in spring 2010. We don't buy that at all, since the PS3 is just entering its prime and Sony was clear that the motion controller was for the existing console, so we think this rumor is getting garbled down the wire -- it's far more likely that the slim is being prepped for an August launch to coincide with those rumored price cuts, and that new PS3 bundles that include the motion controller are set to drop next year. That's just our take on the matter, though -- we'll see how things shake out.

Activision CEO "Likes to Make Noise" About PS3 Price Cuts

Sony CEO dismisses Activision CEO's threat to stop supporting PS3

Sony is taking a hard hit in the current poor economy. The firm announced a massive loss last quarter and sales for many of its divisions are at historic lows. Sony is also under lots of pressure for it gaming division to perform.

In June, Activision CEO Robert Kotick put pressure on Sony CEO Howard Stringer to cut the price of the PS3 console. Kotick said at the time that Activision might have to reconsider developing games for the PS3 is price cuts weren't made. Sony issued a retaliatory press statement reading, "We enjoy healthy business relationships with and greatly value our publishing partners and are working closely with them to deliver the best entertainment experience."

Both Stringer and Kotick are at the Allen & Co conference in Idaho this week. Reuters reports that when Stringer was asked directly about Kotick's statements Stringer said, "He [Kotick] likes to make a lot of noise. He's putting pressure on me and I'm putting pressure on him. That's the nature of business."

Stinger was also asked about the logic of not cutting prices on the PS3 console. Stringer replied, "I [would] lose money on every PlayStation I make [if prices were cut made] -- how's that for logic."

Tattooed for the love of Killzone (and free PS3 and HDTV)

Another fan has taken yet again to his own skin to express his profound love for - undoubtedly - his favorite game. This time, the tattoo was for the worship of Killzone. Right in his leg.

The tattooed one remains unnamed; PlayStation Lifestyle only found the images "whilst perusing Flickr." Although, the photo description did say that he had himself inked with the Killzone brand so he may "receive a free Sony HDTV, and PlayStation 3 as a prize from an unnamed magazine."

What magazine is this? Awesome freebies you've got! By the way, the photo was uploaded way back in May, but still, it's a cool sight to see.

Anyhow, it looks alright. The NES scarring is still cooler, in my opinion.

Activision CEO Calls for PS3 Price Cuts

Activision CEO says support for PS3 may stop is price cuts aren't made

The video game industry is feeling the burn of the poor economy as game sales and console sales are slowing for some companies. A few smaller game developers have been forced out of business altogether and many in the game industry are calling on Sony to cut the price of its PS3 console.

Sony maintains that there is no price cut coming for the PS3 console. Sony says it can't cut the price of a console that is a money loser already when it posted a massive $1 billion loss in its last quarterly earnings report. The fact that Sony is on shaky ground financially has not stopped Activision CEO Bobby Kotick from calling on Sony for PS3 price cuts and even saying that his company's support the console may stop if price cuts aren’t made.

Kotick said in an interview, "It's expensive to develop for the console, and the [Nintendo] Wii and the Xbox are just selling better. Games generate a better return on invested capital on the Xbox than on the PlayStation."

PS3 Price Cut Coming Very Soon

Rumors say PS3 will drop $100 to coincide with Madden NFL's August launch

As the global economy continues to remain weak, most markets are seeing sales at the lowest point in many years. Even the stalwart video game industry is seeing sales figures decline in the face of the economic recession.

Console sales are directly tied to software sales and many game publishers are putting pressure on Sony to drop the price of its PS3 console. The PS3 is by far the most expensive game console on the market that is currently dominated by the lower priced Nintendo Wii.

Sony maintains that no price cuts are coming on the console and some industry analysts say that Sony simply can’t cut the price of the PS3 considering that the console is still a money loser for the company. Rumors of price cuts on the PS3 continue to circulate as fast as Sony can deny price cuts are coming.

The latest rumor comes from IndustryGamers who cites industry sources that claim a price cut on the PS3 is coming in August to coincide with the launch of the latest Madden NFL game. If the rumors are to be believed this time, the price cut would be significant at $100.

Sony's Motion Controller is Prototype

The motion controller for PlayStation 3 displayed during Sony's E3 conference last week is merely a prototype, and details regarding price, date or even a name for the device are yet to be confirmed.

Following Microsoft's show-stopping announcement of the Xbox 360's Project Natal, Sony retaliated with the announcement of its own motion controller, which works in conjunction with the PlayStation Eye and utilises a wand-like device.

It seems any further details on Sony's contraption will be coming further down the line. 'We're announcing the technology, not the product or game,' said Sony Computer Entertainment of America's Peter Dille in an interview with Kotaku.

Echoing recent comments from Sony's John Koller, Dille also reiterated his belief that Sony's solution to motion control trumps the opposition. "From our perspective we have the technology that provides better precision,' he said, 'And that gives us the opportunity to do the best of both worlds. If you want to do what we're referring to as casual motion games, the PlayStation Eye and the motion controller do that quite nicely.'
