I think the rectangle could be a removable plate, not a pedestal.

Its restored on the PSN.

Using the square rubbers as a size reference point, it totally looks like the fat PS3, but then again the rubbers in the new model might be smaller.

Drencrom · (07-05-2012, 09:46 AM)

Just according to keikaku.

(Keikaku means Jeff_Rigby)

I was thinking that too. Are the rubber feet on the Slim the same size as the Fat?

DBT85 · (07-05-2012, 09:49 AM)

Maybe Fat shaped but shrunk to Slim kind of sizes.

Elios83 · 09:54 AM

Well it's a new case, Super Slim at Gamescom with price drop confirmed.
Looking at the picture it looks really similar to the PS3 Fat, so maybe they're using the old curvy design but with the size of a Dremcast :D

Fat boy slim edition?...

Yes, a little less the 10mm/0.4inches in both cases

It actually could very well happen that they're be a 'Wonderbook' bundle with this version costing around 250.

Elios83 · (07-05-2012, 10:02 AM)

If you look closely here:

https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/eas/GetApp...tml?id=1736289

there's something on the left side which looks like an eject slider for discs.

CrunchinJelly · (07-05-2012, 10:03 AM)

Super slim with no BRD drive. $99.

AwesomeSauce · (07-05-2012, 10:03 AM)

My PS3 broke a month ago.

Guess I'll be on the look out for this.

Okay, well I made up this crappy diagram based on the feet size:

Phantast2k · (07-05-2012, 10:17 AM)

^ that's in no way representative of the actual measurements though, is it?
Ugh, I want it to be much smaller :(

under Id Label/Location.
Upper left you can see the profile of something which looks like a manual eject slider for the Blu Ray drive.
Bottom left Sony logo.

Takao · (07-05-2012, 10:18 AM)

Looks like the redesign may be like the PS2 Slim. It was tall but uber thin.

I don't think it's an eject slider, personally.

No.

Looks more like a concaved eject button, or some LEDs. You can see two buttons bottom left as well.

Heh. The thicker lines right and bottom will be vents, too.

Yeah. It looks like it's an overlay of some sort too.

No, not at all. It's far from exact. I'm just going off of the assumption that the rubber feet will be the same size on this new model.

I don't think it's a bad line, it looks like something, be it a led, a button, a slider.
But we'll see, I really enjoy to discover this stuff before it's announced :P

If you look closer at my pic you can clearly see it's just a portion of another image coming from the left that just happens to overlap the line.

Sweet, love this news. For some reason hardware revisions get me all geeked up.

MYE · 10:44 AM

How about something like this?

plainr_ · (07-05-2012, 10:43 AM)

I hope they lose the curvy design. Flat and matte like the PStwo please.

Right since they also serve as screw covers in both cases iirc. This looks to be longer but much less deep than the slim, wonder if it's smaller overal, maybe a lower profile too.

Those are not just predictions, they are educated guesses from available documents you can get from the internet. Yes jeff could be wrong and this will be just a small redesign but I want him to be right. IMO

shagg_187 · (07-05-2012, 11:03 AM)

Kaz Harai edition.

My beautiful Yakuza LE PS3 is starting to get a bit noisy. Maybe I will buy a new one and just use the old one as a pretty thing to look at.

Seems like really good timing. A pricedrop and a new model leading into next year when the PS3 is loaded with what should be very high quality software.

Majine · (07-05-2012, 11:10 AM)

The current Slim was shown at Gamescom so not too surprising if that would be the case.

Loudninja · (07-05-2012, 11:11 AM)

Most likely going to be $199.
