[Jinfash]

OMG YOU WERE FIRST! CONGRATS SENTRY!

 

[Costanza]

[bj00rn_]

Pic or it didn't happen

 

[bizatch]

Need (better) pics now!

 

[ConradCervantes]

Wow, that thing IS small in comparison.

MUST...RESIST...

 

[DrFunk]

OMG YOU WERE FIRST! CONGRATS SENTRY!

seriously

 

[-MikePriester-]

I want pics - just to compare

I may finally get a PS3 - either on the cheap second hand or just dump straight for the slim

 

[obonicus]

Where's kermit.gif?

 

[hypostatic]

Looks just like the one from the Chinese factory :lol

I'm glad I berieved.

 

[acm2000]

you forgot £249.99

 

[TheSeks]

>>Stuff<<

$299 US DOLLARS! $299 US DOLLARS!

will get when PS2 BC confirmed

Oh, hi. I fixed your post.

No PS2 BC no buy. I already have a fat PS3 for my PSX/2/3 game playing. Buying a slim because OMG IT USES LESS POWER! isn't a reason for me.

 

[demolitio]

Temptation rising. I might have to double dip.

 

[Pctx]

Why has Sony had such a hard time on keeping the leaks from getting out?

First the PSP Go, now this. Oh well, hope this helps them get a large base.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

this still has a blu-ray player in it, right?

 

[DRock]

I think I know what I'm getting for xmas this year

 

[Jaruru]

slim grill~~~

 

[ezekial45]

Like i said in the other topic; Well played, Sony.

 

[Veidt]

Nice.

 

[gimmmick]

599.99 / 2

 

[Shiggy]

I have seen that before :lol

 

[kadotsu]

 

[Apocalyptatron]

I dunno, it doesn't look as cool as the jump from reg ps2 to ps2 slim. It needs to be more different, looks too much like the same.

 

[qwerty2k]

pfffffft, no shiny finish = no buy, gonna stick with my 60gig.

 

[T'Zariah]

*is going to sell PS3 Phat*

So hawt.

 

[Dead Prince]

this still has a blu-ray player in it, right?

Jem Alexander:

smaller, lighter, all the same features your current PS3 has

Obviously no BC unless........

 

[Tntnnbltn]

this still has a blu-ray player in it, right?

No. They decided to remove the blu-ray drive, along with compatability for every retail PS3 game in existance.

...What do you think?

YAY! It's real.

 

[mr_nothin]

I cant be the only 1 who checked K-mart like right after this was announced....only to be disappointed.

 

[Zombie James]

$299 for the current PS3 starting tomorrow, too.

 

[somesayyea]

fantastic - can't wait to get more details

 

[SolarPowered]

Aw yeah, this holiday is gonna be an all out war. If it has BC I'm gonna punch myself in the face for getting the MGS pack.:lol

 

[manutd]

happy for all the people wanting the slim, il stick to 60gb

 

[yankeehater]

Damn that looks cool. Way to go Sony.

 

[meddow]

love the new look for psp....but this wont be replacing my machine its so ugly imo

 

[Vic]

Woah, looks nice indeed!

 

[mr_nothin]

pfffffft, no shiny finish = no buy, gonna stick with my 60gig.

SHINY OR BUST

 

[manueldelalas]

Will buy it when it hits mass market price at $199

Spoiler

no I won't

Great news for us consumers; price cut may have come a little late, but this is a good thing.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

$299? Shit finally got real. My roommate is definitely going to buy one now.

 

[Firestorm]

I was hoping it'd be less ugly than the initial shots =/
Oh well, I got my fat one!

 

[Erebus]

Cakefoo is Kaz Hirai confirmed!

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

That freaking looks tiny. Props to the design guys who made that happen.

 

[red shoe paul]

Old news.

 

[DogWelder]

OMG YOU WERE FIRST! CONGRATS SENTRY!

:lol

 

[ant_]

I hope there is no backwards compatibility because then I can still hope to sell my 20GB full backwards compatibility at a decent price :lol

 

[anddo0]

Does it run cooler?

 

[bizatch]

So who the fuck is going to be the regular ps3s now?

 

[Blueblur1]

My 60GB is alive and well. Maybe I'll buy one if my current PS3 breaks one day.

 

[Sadist]

PS2 BC or bust!
