258.17 shipped taxes included after DPA discount for me...thanks been waiting for this. It is an instant $30 savings event which is why with the EPP discount OP has the price at $251.99
good luck with this system. i received mine a week ago and already sent it back due to "warming up" issues....personally, i would pass at any price until the kinks are worked out.
If you're worried about stability, get the ps3 80gb version...they are rock solid. Mine's been nothing but reliable ever since I bought it. Knowing that, I sort of wish I had the slim as it does use less energy, but I can't complain with what I have.
Don't for get to use your Dell Preferred Account if you have it for an extra 3% off!!
I got one for $243 + (6.25%) tax.
BTW I have another one (20GB) that I have had for a couple years with no problems ever. I also have a Wii & 360. The only one I have had any issues with was the Wii and it really doesn't get much use anyway.
