Guessing the manual is more accurate than pixel counting crappy photos. Thanks.
Lying down doesn't show it's best side, granted. But standing up hides the bulk and showcases that beautiful glossy curve. It's possibly the most beautiful and most ugly console, depending how you position it.

You've really got to crack the PS3 open to get the dust out of it. The vacuum will only get the dust at the vents.

I don't even have words for how much of a regression this design is.
Did they outsource their industrial design to China now?

Whilst I think the price is too high, that bundles pricing could be justified by enough fans because what you get with that is a 320GB HDD, 2 controllers, Halo 4 game and a custom console design with blue leds.
My point being that we cant dictate whether Microsoft will lower the price of their standard SKU's based on the advertised price of a special edition SKU.
Microsoft are not in a position where they need a new revised 360 at least not yet, they could very well lower the price on their current 360S models.

This has to be a fake, test model or a photoshop?? This design is so un-Sony.

What? I always thought the originally design was amazing. If mine ever goes tits up I would be disappointed to end up with a slim.
Couldn't agree more.
Design issues aside.
This is Sony best chance to get 1 up over xbox at US as well as increase the sales WW.

what a difference price cut can make and PS3 still have been doing good in the last 3 years
Edit - though i disagree withhim on the last line

Everyone is speaking about the design, but how is the flash memory going to be after inserting a HDD? As one bigger partition or as 2 separate ones?
Are there any chances for it being separate? I'd prefer it that way, so I'd install the game/-s I'm playing the most on it, and the rest on the HDD...

To be fair, did anyone take that back?
It is ugly. The original PS3 is better-looking, but HUEG!!1!
The industrial designers at SCE lost the plot pretty hard.
Thanks. I'll try that.

It's ugly and inconsistent. the dust magnet sides and then the ugly 80's looking lines on the middle.

This one is superior.
that color scheme would go well next to barbie's dreamhouse.
seriously though, that's a girl's console.

What I want:
16gb - $149-69
250gb - $199
500gb - $249
Price drops all around.
What my gut tells me will end up happening:
16gb - $199
250gb - $249
500gb - $299
Increased value of models with a new model at a new lower price point.
Though I could see them doing the former if they really want to steal Wii U's thunder.

True.
AsI have said, imo the OG PS3 and PS3 Slim look the best. Slim is a great kit imo, and if this has a manual slot it will take some of the amazing away... Just like when they switched to "real" buttons.
Is there a visible eject button on the shots? I don't know if there is, or if I'm seeing the shape because it's there in MYE's photoshop.
There does seem to be one in the original shots, which begs the question of whether the sliding door for the disc access actually is motorized, which is admittedly pretty cool and possibly cooler than the slot-loader in my opinion. Otherwise, if you slide the door open yourself what the hell is the eject button for? I'd guess it's still actually a hinged swing-open door for the disc access, that would explain the button better than a motorized door (which would, IMO, be more prone to failure than a regular slot loader mechanism). Unless, of course, I've missed a post in this thread that confirms the sliding door.
Lightning is a woman, thus that is a woman's console. And it's a really good looking woman's console, too.

The original FFXIII console was beautiful, but the coolest console yet was the Yakuza 3 fat. So awesome.
The MGS4 console could've been cooler, had they made it more sci-fi-ish instead of just giving it armor. =/

At least I now get why they renamed the option from "Eject Disc" to "Remove Disc" in the last PS3 FW update.

Not even close.
Of all the console editions you choose that one? The color is as neutral as the black. Don't see how you can call that one ugly and not also the black one.
Lightning PS3 would like to disagree.
Very nice indeed. I wish we had more options as far as artwork on PS3 goes. Though it probably wouldn't end well for me because I would have ordrered a PS3 with Last Guardian art on it, lol.

I'll just get another slim I think
The top is definately a sliding door and the eject button probably lifts the disc off the tray so you can grab it.
But the problem I see is what if your console sits in a cabinet and the top is close to the PS3 top? Do you have to pull the whole console out to change the disc?
I hate this new design and there is no way the PS2 and PS3 designer is responsible for this.

If you want an ugly 360, try the Halo 3 special edition console. That one looks great.Not even close.
Yeah, I'd think price, power consumption, heat, noise and reliability are more important than if something looks subjectively better than another edition.
Its the first pics that came up on the net that scared people. It really wasn't helping, the thing looked like an old dusty 90's audio system.
Still looks inferior to its predecessor imo.

1 for 1 is a better batting average than nostradamus had.
And if you want ugly consoles--Xbox Slim glossy plastic with cheap shiny plastic "chrome" edition wins this generation IMHO.

huh that white 360 is actually really nice. the only thing close to that ugly ps3 is the original fat one.
