Buying if they price drop this fall.
I already have a unit but it's overseas and I miss Blu-rays.

finally, a non-square PS3 Slim. They probably took out the PSU? Too bad I already bought a 3004 late last year.

I think they carry a different serial number prefix (not CECH). Not 100% sure though.

Yeah, that'd make sense. To me it just looks like the bottom of a much larger PS3, not sure that's what the public is craving, figured it'd be a devStation or something.

It is likely a cheaper to produce unit that runs on less watts or something that also uses less plastic, There are around 4 or 5 versions of the PS2 Slim, and most didn't seem to noticed the minor changes Sony did every year or so.

No, the FCC test mention both consumer unit and dev unit for 4000 model.

Still only b/g WLAN, dissapointing...

Looks like the base portion is off-center again like the fat PS3s.
Probably gonna be pretty small, and using 22/28nm chips.

Some on this board like to give Jeff grief, but the guy does his research and his educated guesses are just that. Well educated guesses.

Jeff seems to get proven right more then he is proven wrong.

If the materials quality of the 3000 is anything to go by, this model could have even cheaper-looking and feeling plastics.

We don't know yet what is inside this new revision. It could be just a slimer PS3 or an enhanced PS3.

The only reason is cooling. If they make it so the HDD isn't upgradable and the PSU is external, that leaves BDROM and heat sink. If they have shrunk the Cell and GPU process or put them on a single die (unlikely) then they could manage the heat much better. Redesign and price drop... the last big push for the PS3 to get some momentum into PS4?

Good stuff.

I'm in the market for a new PS3 since mine is ready to kick the bucket sometime soon. And I dislike the current boxy slim look.
