Here is a gif demo I made on the sliding door theory: (was about to use gaf's example but it was terrible looking)

That....sucks.


Sliding door is just asking for your disc drive to get damaged.

Edit: I'm simply trying to find a decent explanation for releasing a new model so late into this generation of consoles. There has to be something in or available for this model that isn't in others if they want to manage any sales. The only thing that comes to mind is a system perhaps optimized for game streaming. I mean, what else could Sony possibly offer at this point on the same PS3 hardware that they've been pushing for six years?

The same reason Nintendo releases new Wii/3DS colours as well as why Microsoft released the 360 slim. To boost sales a bit with new hardware.

Except that still doesn't explain the 16GB model for a system that as of the last couple of models, doesn't have an exceptionally easy HDD to replace unless you have the know how beforehand. You don't seem to own a PS3, so you probably don't know this, but I swear, near every game I ever put inside of the PS3 my brother now has instead of myself demanded a data install of some sort. These aren't small installs, at all. In fact, they're pretty damn big. This isn't even counting if you buy full PS3 games from the store, and the amount of space 10 or 15 PS1 games can take up. As a nice example, my brother has a PS3 collection of approximately 8 games currently (DLC for those that have it, of course), as well as around six or seven PS1 titles installed. The 120GB PS3 is filled to the brim, and old install data has been deleted as games have been traded out. The thing is still pretty much totally full.

What's going to be there to make a 16GB model appealing? It certainly won't sell at $150 if to make it useful, you have to spend another $60 to $80 on a new HDD to shove into it. I'm certainly not anticipating the higher memory models going for below $180 to $200 (so around $50 down from a new 120GB Slim currently). A new revision isn't a new color; you've gotta be pretty confident that it's going to be worthwhile to put it out there before you bother.

16GB isn't the only option. There's 250GB and 500GB.


It's not like most consumers will even know until they buy it. They'll prey on consumer ignorance. Soccer moms will see a 16GB PS3 for $150 and think of it as a huge deal.

It looks like a grill, even more because of the lines.

 

[Midna]

Welp, guess the PS4 isn't coming for a while then.

I just bought a 160gb slim two months ago :c

If this turns out to looks nice, I might upgrade, in a year or two

 

[Jamstruth]

That is one fugly console. And I've seen things like the Jaguar CD

 

[C-Kronos]

Fuck that design, it's seriously ugly.. Yeah, throw on a bit of more gloss, that'll make it look better!! Gloss finishes has to be one of the worse things on consoles in my opinion, it drives me nuts.. I'll sand down the casing of anything I get that's glossed, and I'll repaint it with a matte finish. Matte finish is superior in my opinion, it's inconvenient to have a glossy console that you will end up scratching at some point.

 

[chavosaur]

If it does go for cheap i actually would buy into it. Ive been playing with my girlfriends ps3 every now and then and the games are pretty fun. I'd flip my shiz if they revealed this was backwards compatible with ps1/2 games. (However unlikely that is :/)

 

[emmanu888]

one thing i noticed that everyone noticed is that its not a disc eater type drive like the fat and the slim ps3 but a top loader like the slim ps2 idk but i like the disc eater type drive compared to the top loader

It looks a bit like a Jaguar...

Spoiler

 

[kupo3000]

It's like the PS3 got the PSP-E1000 threatment.

 

[Pleng]

New design, should be a bit smaller than slim.

Reminds me of the CD32

 

[Sheimi]

If this is not expensive, I might buy it. I wonder where the cd drive is

 

[GameWinner]

If it's cheap and no features were removed, I'll finally upgrade from my 80GB fat model.

 

[KingVamp]

Not sure about that.
Unless you was jk...

The lines are for the fat juices to flow out of the side when you grill.

Spoiler

Yeah it does look kind of weird.

 

[The Milkman]

Are these things as small as the last models of PS2 yet?

 

[FireGrey]

If they're going to release a second slim console, they should at least make it, you know, slim...
