Jeff, you can't cite a random website that offers nothing that they couldn't have read in this thread as backup to your claims. Especially when they are as vague as they are in that article.

It's not a cite as much as just a post. I won't mention here what I think will give weight to a rumor post but it will tie into
told you I can't mention it
I agree, there's no point in making it more powerful, they should make it cheaper.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to anything she post on that website.
Granny Turismo Coming to 3DS and 3DS XL
BY NÝ JULY 6, 2012
POSTED IN: FEATURE, GAME NEWS, GAMING
In a surprise press conference last night, Sony announced some shocking news for their Gran Turismo franchise. For the first time ever, Sony is teaming up with Nintendo to bring their popular Gran Turismo series to the 3DS. The new 3DS version, entitled Granny Turismo, will be launched along side the 3DS XL. Granny Turismo will also be available in a special bundle pack with a limited edition 3DS XL, available only at Elder-Beerman.
The 3DS exclusive will feature an all-new line-up of the hottest cars around. Three of the cars to be featured in Granny Turismo were announced at Sonys press conference last night:
Lincoln Town Car
Cadillac CTS
Buick Roadmaster
The game play will be slightly altered from the previous Gran Turismo titles to appeal to the target market of the 3DS XL. Instead of racing, the player will drive the car to the supermarket, pharmacy, post office, and a variety of other exciting places to complete their errands! You must return to your garage before it gets dark, as it is impossible to see the road after sunset. The cars in Granny Turismo will have a maximum driving speed of 45 mph on highways. Players will also have the option to drive on the wrong side of the road without receiving a penalty.
You grandchildren will be in awe of your sweet ride!
The limited edition Granny Turismo 3DS XL, available exclusively at Elder-Beerman, will feature a built-in picture frame to display your favorite photos of your grandchildren. By reserving your Granny Turismo 3DS XL bundle, you will also receive a limited edition Granny Turismo pill organizer as a pre-order bonus.

I keep hoping for another Super_secret. His posts I believed because it had details.
There are certain details I expect before I will believe a PS3.5 rumor.
You're the only one I know who has made PS3.5 rumours, lol.
first versions especially would draw a lot of air inside, and if you dont clean it (vacuum) at least once every 4-5 months, it would get fucked up and go kaput. More dust, less air comes in, harder/lauder fans work...
new slims need a lot less air to cool so less dust and less issues.

Serious ones pointing out how it would be done with DETAILS yes but there have been others like this one:
XTV (IPTV and more), on-line play (Gaikai, WebGL, Flash, MMO, Home, Sims, Augmented Reality). Korea was first in using the PS3 for IPTV in 2007. There was a Gstreamer DASH IPTV with DRM player in 2009.
EA went so far as to release a webkit toolbox/browser for both Xbox360 and PS3 in 2010. More information here. Why is it taking them so long to port a full browser? The answer is standards and supporting an ecosystem. The time for XTV to take off requires everyone else to be ready to support it. This is why Google TV faltered. Webkit2 (in CE platforms) will be fully supported by Sept of this year. This is why the Xbox will have a browser for the first time late this year and the PS3 browser will be finished. This is why Microsoft bought Skype and is releasing a Xbox 361 with 1080P, multi-tasking, HDMI pass-thru and low power modes this year and the PS3 had a chat program supported 1080P (Blu-ray too) and browser from day one.
The second part of this August 2009 prediction I think everyone can now see is coming. The first part we will know when we see a picture of the back side of the 4000 series with 2 HDMI ports (In & Out to support XTV HDMI pass-thru). XTV implies low power modes and instant on and AMD building blocks, TSVs and SOCs make building a cheap SOC for a PS3+ possible. Both Xbox3 and PS3 had to wait till this year when both XTV and the AMD + IBM + Samsung consortium were ready.

Second Life

Real Life
List of 52 MMORPG on-line games
Now compare the PS3 Home to the others above. Notice that Home on the PS3 is artificially resource limited like it has a planned use in other platforms without a hard disk. Second Life comes closest to Home and if you have followed it, has been in advance of new Home features and it's using many of the same libraries the PS3 is now using to support Home and will use for the browser.

Wouldn't it be great if Home was loaded at all times on PS4? Or to have an option in wich you boot straight into Home.

I'm expecting Home to become a WebGL game eventually. It will probably use webCL and a new engine that uses OpenCL calls. Then with a browser always loaded, most of the Home Libraries will already be loaded. Still have to build the 3D world and Avatars. Anyway, it will then work on Vita and might be released/supported on other platforms.
With PS4 comes multiple power modes and probably hibernate. You could turn on you PS4 and be in Home instantly provided Home supports that type of login. Other existing Avatars and other variables will have to be reloaded and built.

does anyone actually use home these days?
Why is this question always asked?
Millions use PlayStation Home every day, it's a success for Sony and I understand why.

I dunno, I just never read anything about it, except the new stuff they try to flog off every week on the playstation blog.

Why dont you start it and see for yourself how many people use Home?
@jeff: Home becoming WebGl? Is that even feasible?

If it had more than 2 usb ports I would seriously consider it.

Yep. The front two are fine for charging, but everything else (including that bloody camera) need to go around the back.

What's a conservative estimate to what the pricing on this new PS3 is going to be, assuming no frills.
199$/, everything is pretty predictable at this point.
The only thing left unanswered is if they're gonna ditch the internal sata hard drive for on board flash memory with the possibility to use an external USB drive to expand memory capacity.

Sony has a patent for that PlayStation Gucci design so the new PS3 might look like the back of the Vita.

Hope Sony is reading this.
If it is going to happen with this new model, which it should, it will be at GamesCom.
What kind of price drop do you expect? With both the 250GB 360 and the 320GB PS3 at 199.99 at the moment, prices probably won't go down until the release of the Wii U.

$20-40 would be great, I see Gamescom is in August, I already have an extra 320HD ready so I kind of paying extra for that included hard drive in the current Slim, with 360 at least you can still get the cheaper one without the HD. Maybe I should just get the 160 Slim, this new version might just come out in 320GB or higher and cost the same.

I have a feeling they are already moving to that. Same for demo's as well instead of downloading an hours worth of data for a demo.
But yeah, I've said this before. Streaming Home would allow ANY connected Sony device to hop in, instantly, it would allow INSTANT transition from location to location instead of download a 40mb+ room. All of that would be server side. It would be perfect.

I just thought of something crazy. Let's say the new slim will have no HDD right? That would be stupid for their digital strategy and severely undermine their PS+ plans. But, they bought Gaikai recently. What is the likelyhood they might stick 16GB in there and also give the device the ability to stream PSN (and PS+ games) using Gaikai? The thing there is that they alleviate the need for larger HDDs if all downloadable games can be streamed. Probably a very dumb idea. Just thinking out loud here. (I'm not even sure if they can get something like that working by the time they'd have to launch the new slim of if it would even work great)
Isn't the cheapest PS3 at 249 at this moment? I'd expect an official drop to 199 or, though very unlikely even lower.
I'd actually expect it in 169-180 euro/dollars region. I think a 50 euro price-cut is too low when introducing a new slim model.
why would they ditch hdd?
Prices vary on a daily basis. At the moment, Amazon.de has it for 220. Yesterday, another retailer still had it for 199.99.

There is no way to continually lower costs with HDDs as the base cost is always going to be around $50. With Sony buying Gaikai, there is a good chance that they could move PSN games to streaming, wholesale, negating the need for huge amounts of storage.
