Believe (tm)

 

[nubbe]

[Gen X]

PS3 with Forwards Compatibility.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Real Slim Ps3 coming for WiiU launch - as expected.

 

[Man]

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

 

[Nibel]

Please do it like this.

 

[Pooya]

it's still wifi b/g, no N :\

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Predicting a price drop announcement at Gamescom.

 

[glaurung]

Price drop, new hard drive sizes, maybe new colors.

All are welcome.

 

[gogogow]

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

 

[Kinan]

this actually looks like an old PS3 (not slim)

 

[ekim]

so jeff rigby was all right.

 

[true Gek]

Please do it like this.

It was wanderfull *_*

I had one at home but I lost the power supply ç_ç

 

[Katana_Strikes]

this actually looks like an old PS3 (not slim)

Yeah it does. Haha return of the Phat!!

 

[WickedLaharl]

maybe this model will let me view my vita trophies and friends on it

 

[InfiniteNine]

so jeff rigby was all right.

Do not question jeff!

 

[Sethos]

Sure it isn't a slimmed down development kit?

 

[Canis lupus]

Announcement at GC, introduction in late august/september like last time?


Sony just won the holidays.

 

[gofreak]

Sure it isn't a slimmed down development kit?

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

 

[Sethos]

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.

 

[Drkirby]

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.

 

[Pooya]

dev kits are DECH.

 

[Kinan]

Sure it isn't a slimmed down development kit?

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

Still only b/g WLAN, dissapointing...

 

[Chittagong]

so jeff rigby was all right.

PS3 super slim and 361 to share same chipset am I rite

 

[DonMigs85]

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

 

[Majine]

Phat PS3 makes a comeback! Complete with spiderman font.

 

[monome]

Fuck my wallet...

Already looking forward to get a white 3DS LL this summer.



dat non glossy sexy bitch!

 

[googleplex]

so jeff rigby was all right.

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.

 

[redblack85]

it's all different...seems the fat Ps3.

 

[Erasus]

Cool. Wont buy a new unit unless my slim breaks down or something. (in b4 Sony patches in a killswitch)

 

[AgentOtaku]

time for an upgrade lol

jk

 

[DonMigs85]

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

 

[xxczx]

PS3 Street

 

[Troidal]

an even-smaller PS3 would be very welcomed. here's hoping

 

[KennyLinder]

No factory leaked images this time?

 

[sTeLioSco]

so jeff rigby was all right.

ofcource. because what he says is based on stuff he finds...

now if he finds stuff that aren't going to happen,they wont happen.

 

[DonMigs85]

PS3 Street

Hmm, what else could they cut? Remove one of the USB ports or even the HDMI port, aiming the console at people still relying on composite, S-video or component?

Anyway, I suspect this console will resembe the original fat PS3 more, only much smaller and probably flatter on the top, without the chrome trim.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

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

 

[supersergioconte]

here in Italy there are a lot of discounts on the ps3 and "as one of my friend" told me this new model will come out during the holiday season in they can made enough of tyhem ...

 

[panty]

I only have 2 slims already so bring it on!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I'd buy if PS2 BC is restored.

Spoiler

 

[Kokonoe]

Probably with new hardware to block homebrew.

 

[elektrixx]

PS3 XL.

PS3 Go

Say goodbye to that disc drive!

 

[KennyLinder]

It won't happen, but image if it was as small as a Wii? So awesome!

 

[AkIRA_22]

It looks the same as the original Fat PS3.... weird.

It won't happen, but image if it was as small as a Wii? So awesome!

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?

 

[Pooya]

it doesn't look like fat, this is how fat looks like.

 

[coughlanio]

Looks pretty much the exact same as this:

 

[DMeisterJ]

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.
