Now we have a real competition.

 

[shintoki]

Tempting, but I'll try hold off just a bit longer. I definitely want that model though.

 

[SonicX_Zero]

I look forward to getting one when my current one dies.

 

[Dead Prince]

That looks like it takes $30 dollars to make a ps3. so they are going to be making a profit with each sold ps3?

 

[Hobbun]

Even if my 60GB dies, no buy. I'd rather pay the $150 to repair my 60 Gig. Sorry, I want PS2 BC.

 

[Dennis]

The new slim looks a lot better than the phat glossy monolith !

 

[ant_]

looks good, save for the non-touchscreen buttons.

It's a good thing it doesn't have the touchscreen buttons. I hate those things

 

[gogogow]

It looks a bit empty without playstation 3 in the middle and the silver strip.
PS3 font too big and too much to the side.

 

[soldat7]

Only a stupid fuck would buy a next-gen console to play last-gen games.

I'm still hoping for software emulation at some point.

 

[anddo0]

Of course it does.

Woo, I have $110 in Amazon gift cards waiting for the slim. My old phatty will be going to the living room.

I have $120 at Gamestop. May do a few more trade ins.

 

[Tamanon]

Will definitely pick one up this year now.

 

[andycapps]

So, Sony drops the price, comes out with a Slim PS3, and shows off some great games and... GAF complains about the look, font, and PS2 BC? What won't you guys complain about?

Good news for those that had been waiting to get a PS3. Just told a coworker of mine that has a 360 and he's thinking about getting a PS3 now at the new price.

Only a stupid fuck would buy a next-gen console to play last-gen games.

:lol

 

[Alfarif]

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a cheap Chinese knock off? I was never a fan of the piano black PS3 fat, but it's looking like a work of art compared to this... thing.

Still, smaller, lighter, and less power consumption is always a good thing.

 

[LQX]

Looks kind of cheap compared to the old one. Guess real pics might give a different impression.

 

[Sadist]

The design is a bit meh though

 

[MMaRsu]

299 euros? holy fucking shit. So gonna buy this!!

 

[Macho Madness]

Looks completely ugly and cheap. The exact opposite of the phat.

 

[Dead Prince]

any place has real specification as to the size of the slim? i want numbers not percentages!

 

[tass0]

I take back what I said, it looks gorgeous.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I hear that this is getting a big marketing push.

 

[Teknoman]

All PS3's price drop now too right?

 

[MvmntInGrn]

I don't think its ugly, its just not sexy. :lol

Hello mister/misses average.

 

[b.e.r.g]

But... but... it's so... ugly.

really???

 

[Danthrax]

Can we chalk this up to another case of Internet > GAF > Internet > GAF?

Internet: "Here are pics of a new PS3" > GAF: "Hey look, I guess there's a PS3 Slim coming" > Internet: "Proudly announcing: the PS3 Slim!" > GAF: "OMG PS3 SLIM IT'S REAL"

 

[darkwings]

No BC. No Linux either.

what if Persona 5 gets announced for PS2. No slim sale.

 

[Minsc]

Looks tiny. I like it.

 

[Dead Prince]

All PS3's price drop now too right?

yep right now. go to the store and pick up another ps3!!

 

[Misterinenja]

Would've traded my 40gb in if this had BC.

 

[Zhuk]

I take back what I said, it looks gorgeous.

Ugh, it's absolutely atrocious compared to the original PS3. You don't get more consumers by making your console look even more unappealing.

 

[entremet]

Only a stupid fuck would buy a next-gen console to play last-gen games.

Who said those who want PS2 BC only want to play last gen games? I'm sure some people would love to unplug their PS2s and take advantage of wireless controllers and upscaling.

 

[Iron Toaster]

Finally, I wonder if the 360 Elite will drop in price now to compete.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Looks completely ugly and cheap. The exact opposite of the phat.

Phat was 599 dude. No thanks.

 

[jay]

Only complete and utter assholes who deserve to die horrible drowning deaths want to minimize the number of consoles in their living rooms.

 

[Acid08]

God that thing is fucking ugly.

*hugs 60GB*

Edit: How long until MS counter price drops?

 

[BigBlackGamer]

that thing looks ugly as hell.

 

[CubeRevolution]

[Loudninja]

$299 for the current PS3 starting tomorrow, too.

:lol People said this would never happen.

 

[alr1ght]

wait, it needs a stand to be vertical?

 

[Dennis]

Ugh, it's absolutely atrocious compared to the original PS3. You don't get more consumers by making your console look even more unappealing.

Come on you were gonna hate on it no matter what man

 

[StuBurns]

I can't believe it's the same spec and so much uglier. One thing Sony has always been good at for me is the physical product design.

I don't get the little PS logo, it looks printed on, but in vertical pics it's vertical, and horizontal ones it's horizontal.

 

[manueldelalas]

Looks like the PS3 is going casual, the steak restaurant is going McDonalds =P.

 

[manutd]

it looks so.... industrial

 

[Psychotext]

I liked the mockup much, much better. Bring it back.

 

[billy.sea]

I think it looks fine, but would look 100x grander if it has the same full 'Playstation 3' logo from that phat.

 

[gtj1092]

The grey buttons clash with the black but will be getting myself a Ps3 for the bedroom this christmas

 

[Vic]

I take back what I said, it looks gorgeous.

Love the simplistic design.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

So.... GBP ?

 

[dyls]

Nice price.

Awful design.

Why in the world would they keep the same rounded top? It looked terrible three years ago, looks terrible now. But it's good that we'll finally get to see what the real demand for the PS3 is; I think this will do very well over the holidays.

I'm not exactly sure why anyone would replace a working PS3 with this, though. You guys are weird.
