I don't think continuing to remove features from the PS3 would be too bright a move at this point.BattleMonkey said:And gut the PS3 in the process to match the Arcade closeout pricing, right.

Mrbob said:Is MS rebooting the 360? Because it looks like the arcade and current premium are being phased out?
299 the new starting point for the next 5 years? :/

That's a pretty weak argument in my opinion. Especially after this briefing. There's nothing there that I'd recommend to anyone. Only past good titles. Weaksauce all around.jecclr2003 said:It comes down to the games, stupid.
Wormdundee said:Don't know if this was posted yet. I have a source that tells me that the new controllers bundled with the slim will take AA rechargeables batteries, and these batteries will be able to be charged via the console through microUSB.
All "buttons" are now capacitive touch like the original PS3 eject (except for the wireless sync button).
Pretty sure it was said that the old drives don't work in this revision since it's a new form factor.
Dedicated port for Kinect as on legacy consoles you'll have to use a breakout with usb port/power connection. I will assume that this has been posted

The AUX port is the dedicated Kinect port.
Also, there is still an external power brick for the slim but it is tiny in comparison to the original.
Sorry if any of this is already posted.

Jesus, people still care if their current gen consoles play decade old games? Go buy the old console for a few bucks and call it a day if you play that many last gen games.Rainier said:My PS3 doesn't have backwards compatability.
Anyone know if the arcade will also come out in black? I might pick one up if so.
wmat said:Well, sure. But if the buyer is open to both platforms, there's not much of a choice.

Well, the 360 briefing is over. Let's see what Sony brings to the table, shall we? If they can deliver with some exclusives, I wouldn't put my money on Microsoft for the next 1.5 years.bathala said:like wat? Killzone, Heavy Rain, God of War 3. oh wait...
Convenience, wireless controllers, and not having tons of console cluttering your media center are some of the few reason why people would want the feature.

Yes. My Jasper is much more quiet than my PS3 fat. Installed games are almost whisper quiet. I can only imagine Slim even more quiet.Sniper McBlaze said:I have a first generation 360. My biggest problem is the noise the system makes. Is the later generation 360s more silent?

Yes.blame space said:does the arcade have HDMI
Domino Theory said:So how does this work with people who want to transfer their content from their old HDDs? I have a 120GB HDD on my current 360 Arcade, but I want to be sure I can transfer the content to the Slim before I buy it.
nah, just wait until Sony's conference, it will be rose petals and whiskey for everyone, at least on GAF.watership said:Looks awesome. On a side note, gamers are cynical bastards. The past few days on GAF have been full of pure bile.

Convenience is a small price to pay when you play those games what, once, maybe twice a year?entrement said:Convenience, wireless controllers, and not having tons of console cluttering your media center are some of the few reason why people would want the feature. Sony spoiled us with the PS2.
