PS3 Slim coming in September!

[Technik]

Whoa the price is like half! Well now all sytems have a $50 difference. Xbox 360 $200 - Wii $250 - PS3 $300

 

[Leo Cantus]

There is no point in getting this if you have the normal PS3 unless you want space to put your DVD player on the same shelf

 

[Link5084]

ill get it if there's a possibility of it becoming hackable in the future

NO, NO, NO

DO NOT EVER THINK THAT

Seriously, the PS3 will never ever get hacked and I'm happy for that. Sony knows what they are doing and hopefully you know too that PS3 will never get hacked. Show some Sony support

Sweet, only $300? Man, I'm gonna need to buy a PS3 this year and stop playing video games.

But it looks terrible. But looks can be deceiving.

looks wont be deceieving it sucks

Thanks for that assuredly well thought out comment. Add to the topic or don't post. Simple.

On Topic: The 299.99 price point (probably a little more in Canada..) is what will get me to buy a new PS3. Got me some games I'd like to play like Infamous

In fact, I will be there on launch to get me one.

Edit: Also, there's a rumor that the 360 Pro model is being phased out and being replaced with the Arcade at 199.99 and the Elite at 299.99 to compete. Can someone confirm?

Eugh. I prefer the shiny black finish of the normal PS3 and I don't like the PS3 all that much.

I smell a fanboy/rumour miller slowly turning the wheels on his millstone.

Apologies, double post

If that doesn't have YLOD, it's good enough!

Mine 40Gb PS3 (april 2008) got bricked this month.

 

[Cablephish]

Nah, I have a PS3 myself. Got it about 2 months ago, and it annoys me that this happens. I get something and something better comes out months later, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!

That's not the reason I said the new PS3 was going to lack blu-ray, was just joking around.

Hoping for backwards compatibility to become available for it too.

 

[Rock Raiyu]

Wow, that is slim.

 

[Cablephish]

You know what sucks about the old PS3? Whenever I would stick a USB in the front of the console, it would be such a pain to take out because of the little overhang chunk of plastic that's in the way. So annoying to bend down and take out. But this is because I keep my PS3 on the floor, where it belongs.

 

[Pizzaroo]

Wow, that is slim.

They should have included an orig. xbox in the pic just for laughs.

 

[Hitsuagaya]

it is really slim compared

 

[Hop2089]

Hopefully it won't have any defects like some 40gb PS3s and the 360.

 

[Hitsuagaya]

yes then ti would be gay

 

[Cermage]

and its going to be 499 here in australia...... i don't understand their pricing. 299US = 299 Euro. might as well be better to import from play asia or something.

He says on a console/handheld hacking site...


I think the slim looks ugly. It would've been cool if they kept the same style as the original PS3 but just shrank it. That being said though the lower price is certainly welcome although I'm still not going to get a PS3 at this stage. My 360 is serving me very well and I have a PSP already for Little Big Planet, Wipeout and Motorstorm.
