Super Slim PS3 set for October Launch

Xbox 360 SS incoming

There were three PS2's also. I mean, more than that considering the guts and board revisions, even just physically there was the original big one, the slim with an ac adapter and finally the slim with just a power cord.

If I can expand the storage, then maybe. If not, I'll just find a 320GB PS3 and expand THAT storage to 500GBs. Sold my PS3 for gas money, really miss it. It was more then a games console, it was my media center... Oh well, maybe again someday.

B) This is just like the Xbox Arcade. It's for people who don't want to be big on gaming, and instead want more of just a blu-ray/netflix/hulu/media player, but also want to be able to play some cheap games like the Mini's or games like Flower, or hell even classic PSX games.

Which is a perfect reason for me to get it! I need a BR player and don't care so much for PS3 games other than a few select titles. Totally looking forward to this :3

This for people who like to store and stream content on the cloud, none of us should apply.

PS3 20/40/60gb PS3 Slim PS3 SuperSlim

Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi

5 versus 3

That's 3 models.

You do know that right?

Of course you do.

 

[Lurker2]

I think there are six PS3 models in a way unless you count releases with different HDD space. The 60gb had wifi and a media card reader which was not present with the 20gb model so that is two. The 80gb software emulation model came out which is another making three. Then the phat no BC support model came out which is four. Then the slim and Super Slim model make six.
With the DS you can say there are four since the DS, DS Lite, DSi and DSi Xl but some argue that the DSi isn't really a revision it was a successor.

End of rant.

 

[Bladexdsl]

So this is their attempt to combat the wiiu huh?

 

[DeadLocked]

Hmm I've been wanting a PS3 for MGS 4 and uncharted series. Might be worth a pop.
With a cheap ext HDD of course.

12GB? I've downloaded games from PSN that are bigger than that.

Same logic of 360 arcade, HDD tray is still there when you needs it. Nintendo did even worse.

Is the HDD tray already confirmed? I may be one of the few people who is really interested in this. I think the smaller the PS3 is, the better it is, and my PS3 Slim sadly doesn't have a working Blu-Ray drive anymore. If this new model is cheap (and the size of the flash memory suggests it will be), I'll probably pick it up and transfer my 250 GB hard drive to it.

I could swear I already saw these images a year ago, also with the announcement of a new PS3 model.

I just thought the same...

Images were leaked a while ago. Hence the Déjà vu.

12 gb? I think I can't even download gta 4 or assassin's creed or get any updates really lol. But it hasn't been confirmed by sony so idk.... and I just bought a ps3 a while ago and that broke. I have an backup and it's unopened so I think I can still take it back and get my money back so I can get this .

PS. PS3 FAT: Dad
PS3 SLIM: Mom
PS3 SS: Son or daughter? Nvm its Solid Snake.

 

[BORTZ]

I'm actually somewhat interested in this.

 

[Foxi4]

Oh, come on Sony! I thought you're better than this. 12GB? Are you kidding? Don't go the Nintendo path - that path's stupid.

I'm going to wait for an official announcement, mmm-hmm.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

It's the price that matters. If it's a lot cheaper than a current (160GB for $250), like around $150, I could see it. But if it's like $50 less, I might as well pay the extra $50 for over 13 times more storage space.

Still, this is rumor until Sony confirms it. Most things I consider rumor until it comes from the source.

 

[Fluto]

12Gb, wow. You're screwed if you have PSN+, you could barely install all of the free games D:

 

[Santee]

Seems like they're going to keep supporting the PS3 even when they come out with the their next console, just like the PS2.

I did post up the patent for this earlier in the year (no way it was a year ago) so what you are now seeing is (possibly) the final product
