PS3 Slimline - It only does everything

LewiePLewieP Registered User regular
edited November 2009 in Games and Technology
The PS3 Slim is real, and you can buy it right now.

It looks like this:
ps3slimg.jpg

It comes with a 120gb Hard drive, is 33% smaller, 36% lighter, and consumes 34% less power than previous models.

It costs:
$299/£249/€299


Old OP:
So, not sure how certain this is to be true, but it might be:
Well, what do you know. On the very day Sony denied a redesigned PS3 was in the pipeline, images have surfaced on a Chinese gaming messageboard purporting to be leaked factory images of just that: A new PS3 "Slim" that appears well into production. Much more after the break.

If US retail boxes are already being printed and assembled, we have to imagine this new, rebranded "PS3" -- no sign of Spider-Man font anywhere -- is coming very soon, perhaps post-E3.

Will there be an accompanying price drop? Or is this simply a very, very well done fake? We'll know soon enough. For now, peep the vaguely illicit-looking cell phone cam images and speculate.

    What would that solve? I would hope they'd take away the George Foreman grill shape instead of just making it smaller.

    Extremely fake.

    Can they even make a PS3 that small with the current state of Blu-ray players?

    It can't be fake. Look at the factory/lab-like white gloves!

    Anyway, hopefully it's not real. It's rather ugly.

    Let's go through the list of reasons why this is bullshit.

    1) The system pictured in the first image is different from the following images.

    642.jpg

    643.jpg

    Spot the difference to win a fat bundle of rape dollars!

    2) It looks like a fucking binder that I would have used in 4th grade or some shit.

    Anybody care to add to the list?

    None of those pictures actually show off how thin they're claiming it is. The only picture showing the whole thing assembled is that perspective-less top one. The others are just of the top or bottom half the system.

    oh don't worry it's not.

    it's way too fugly. and chinese.

    like seriously this is not even debatable.

    also, no one denies the existence of a product that has already made it to manufacturing. And a product like the ps3 would no be packaged like that.

    I could go on and on but srsly, 1up knows it's fake, they just want them some traffic. So fuck them and fuck the bored pranksters in China.

    It's part of the same initiative as the PSP Go! to move to a completely digital setup.

    Notice the 120 gigs of storage. You need that for all your downloaded games and digital content, all integrated with Home.

    The vast majority of PS3 owners do not know that you can upgrade the hard drive, and even if they did, the vast majority wouldn't do so.
