I would expect "slim" to accompany a price drop. The fact that they can make it slimmer means that they're saving money making it. -- nm - Ender May 29, 10:22 6
- Don't smaller components cost more to manufacture? -- nm - Subversive May 29, 10:24 5
  - It's a matter of efficiency. Today's better components mean that you need fewer of them. -- nm - Ender May 29, 10:31
  - It depends. The slim PS2 was like 40% cheaper to manufacture. - Ninja Cat May 29, 10:27 3
    - Yeah. -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 10:27 2
      - ...(hit enter too soon)... the bigger version had already sold tons by the time the thin one came out. -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 10:28 1
        
        Yeah, t'was the clear winner in that cycle. - Will Hunting May 29, 10:29
Well didnt the PS2 become more popular when it was slimed down -- nm - eag May 29, 10:22 2
- the Phat PS2s were starting to not do so well with newer games. Final Fantasy 12 does terrible on them. -- nm - Qale May 29, 10:23
- Not really. The price drop helped. -- nm - JaxSean May 29, 10:23
