PS3 Slim coming in September!

[personager]

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?

Confirmed, it's still a rumor though. Some stores in the UK already took the Pro off shelves and are only offering the Arcade and Elite. Microsoft hasn't confirmed anything yet. I guess we're just going to wait a little while longer for their press conference.

Looks like there may be a 250GB model as well. Crank that price up back to $400!

O come on, now that's just gay. It's like Sony don't want people to have an incentive and go out and buy the PS3 Slim as soon as it comes out

 

[Rock Raiyu]

Either way, I'll be able to get my Persona 5 when it comes to the PS3. Either way, I'm happy. Sony gets there money, and I get some of the games I've dreamed about getting for the PS3. It's a win-win situation. lol

this price drop should start selling systems now, and uncharted 2

WTF are you going to do with 250 GB, come on it's a little much, the PS3 is for gaming and movies which most likely will not take up that much space, music isn't worth it on the PS3 since there are no custom soundtracks. Next there will be a 540 GB PS3. The PS3 is a good system but instead of increasing storage that 97% of people won't use, Sony should make new innovations for the system and reinstate the backwards capability as a software update.

No bc because Sony will sell digital copies hence the increased hardrive. Digital means they control the market and no longer need to worry about second hand copies.

But PS3 games take up a blue ray disc, which holds 60GB. It can barely hold 4 games....unless it's used for PS2 downloads...like the 360 Games on Demand. That would be a smart move on there part.

looks like a friggin pizza box from above. I still won´t consider buying a ps 3. The xbox 360 is cheaper and the quality of the games of the games are better.

 

[Cablephish]

Are you joking? It doesn't matter which size hard drive you get. The PS3's hard drive is the same as what you would find in a laptop. You may as well get any kind of PS3, since you can just upgrade the hard drive yourself when your warranty is gone and/or if you need more space.

Fixed it.

A 60gb game would be too big for its own good. Most are 7-8 gigs i think.

Yes. It's my understanding however that the rest of the disc contains padding to make sure the whole thing is filled.

but the hardware quality is still "the crap" as some people would call it...

Cool! Anyhow, how much does each ps3 game cost each? typically? because i don't think it will get hacked sooner or later.. However, there is a possibility but it will take time.. and I don't think it is good to hack ps3 for it has good games coming ahead of it.. the reason why there isn't much good games coming on psp because most people just download them and play.. and I don't want that to happen to ps3's for they have such cool games..

Also, an 'installed game' doesn't take up 60GB on the hard drive. PS3 doesn't install the whole disc like the Xbox does, only a few gigs per game. So a 250GB hard drive would hold much more than 4 games. Plus all your downloaded games from PSN. Oh yeah, and music (that I can listen to in game) / pictures / videos.

PS3 has no custom soundtracks but you have a point on the storage capacity.

i get ALL my PS3 games (no matter their release dates) for 50$. Black Market

Gotta love Lebanon.

Anyway having a closer look at the pictures, i just hope that Sony have done some benchmarking or something. Anybody else realized the lack of vents? Heck at least less dust will get into it

The current PS3's are like dust attractors, they just fill up with that crap. Heck i hope this will be good either way, jsut got my PS3 like 3-4 months ago, so im happy with it. Like i've said before i like mine big

 

[Anakir]

I don't find the new design of PS3 ugly at all. I actually like it. It looks very slick. I don't plan to buy it anytime soon though.

It depends on the game whether or not you can use custom soundtracks, and a good amount have the ability to use custom soundtracks.
Burnout Paradise + LBP allow them.

Also, it seems that either there are a lot of 360 fanboys here, or people who are stuck in 2006.
PS3 has more & better exclusives than the Xbox at this point.

I call the PS3 the "console of choice" for PC Gamers, because the best 360 "exclusives" have already made their way onto the PC with the "Games For Windows" brand, yet PS3 exclusives don't move from the console.
