Howdy,

Just come across this. Have been reading about it for months and even today on some random news site. Didn't think it was ready pre sale and full press pics though.

To be released in 2 weeks it seems!

Blurb:

PS3 Slim--32% smaller, 36% lighter and consuming 34% less power than the original, the PlayStation 3 Slim features video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video--making it likely to be the central component of your media set-up. First and foremost a powerful gaming console, the PlayStation 3 Slim gives high definition power to the most recent games releases, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, FIFA 10, Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Tekken 6, and Gran Turismo 5. The in-built Blu-ray disc player also provides capability for high definition home entertainment, supporting cinema-quality movie playback.

Pre Order

Edit: Cheaper Pre Order here

Press pics + comparison to "Fat" PS3

To be honest I prefer my bigger version... Looks much more stylish with the gloss.
 
Coming out on my B'day!!

OMFG lolz.

*e-mails all cousins and relatives*

All this PC stuff is cool but I might sell my games and my GPU for it.

Yes I am serious.

90% of my friends have PS3 and CoD4 and they have been dying to face me properly.

No wait.

I can sell my Wii!
 
Well in this 1st pic the original looks 100x better but the 2nd pic the lil ones does look pretty small. Still prefer the gloss though.

i mean yeah its small, but i like my big, its kind of a ornament as it looks good and when i see a ps3 im like niiiiiiceee as for a xbox, jus ugly
 
I'll spray paint mine silver. :p

Anyone can get spray paint now-a-days and the people down at the local bike modding station owe me for a year now. :D

Totally rad duuude.

But I will admit that the logo SUUUUCCCCCKKKKSS!!
 
Jesus they've made it as ugly as possible. What a shame, thought about getting one but deffo won't. My 60GB will do me for a few years to come I reckon :)

You got one of the originals too Matt? Good thing about them is they seem to be worth more due to the compat chip that will never return. My 60gb is doing me fine.
 
Sony has patented some thing called Emulation something, iirc, which could suggest that in the future they could easily do a system update and add in functuality via the Cell processor.

Yeah mine is doing fine mate, original 60gb with a 250gb HDD in it. I've got continuous play too so I can just get it replaced with another 60GB if it fails

Never be a substitute for the PS2 chip in the 60gb machine :)

It looks alot better, but it would look even better if it was gloss and not ps2 style plastic

It looks smaller, but nowhere near as nice imo

We don't know that.

The previous chip they used actually played the PS2 games more worse than a real PS2 would've played it.

This patent shows that they are working with Toshiba (iirc) ro make PS2 games run properly on current PS3 hardware.

It's a bit like running an old PC game on an overclocked processor and better graphics card. The game would run a lot more better.

Anyways, I have been considering buying a PS3 for a looong time. Was just waiting for some sort of price cut. Been wanting to play some MGS4, LBP and CoD4 against friends. :p
 
Having an actual PS2 chip in the console is far superior to emulation as it stands. Whilst it would be impressive if they did manage to achieve a good level of compatibility/playability with the Cell chip, experience shows us that it will be incredibly difficult and debatable to get it to work.

I'd be willing to eat my own words if they did it, but I'll wait and see if they do first ;)
 
it doesent look to bad IMO yer if it was glossed up then it would be awsome,i may get one as i fupin love blurays and killzone and not all my mates are compuer literate but they can all turn a ps3 on and use it ha ha
 
Fugly? I am not a PS3 fan but the original is much prettier. Why the change? Really looks like a toaster now (A very cheap one at that). :D
