Sony Rep: Price drop and backwards compatibility “coming soon”
Over at my local GameStop (where I work), our Sony rep stopped in earlier today to update the PlayStation 3 kiosks and check in with us. I decided to ask him about all the rumors going around on the PlayStation 3 slim. When I asked him about whether or not is coming he told me this:
“All I’m going to say is this: both a price drop and a firmware update with backwards compatibility are coming soon.”
Directly from the mouth of a Sony rep. GamesCom is next week, folks. Don’t be surprised if you hear the announcement.

Nice scoop! No news on the infamous Slim but just knowing that a price drop and a firmware update for backwards compatibility (PS2 obviously) is great news. Guess we’ll start seeing PS2 classics showing up on the PSN Store. I never finished it but I might have to put some down money for MGS2 (I never finished MSG3 or 4 either but I can’t seem to get enough of the MGS franchise).
One can only hope for a more community-centric update to the XMB as well. With MS diving into Twitter and Facebook Sony stupid not to do something that expands the communal aspects of the PS3.
BC…Yes this is fantastic news!
