Post by: ~:Dhruv:~ on May 14, 2009, 07:56:17 AM

Looks like it may be the top cover for a ps3 slim but not the whole PS3 slim.

Post by: Tri-edge on May 15, 2009, 09:28:29 PM
Either way I'm probably still sticking with my launch 60gb ps3 (as it can play ps2 games).  Unless there's something major that's not included in the previous ps3 I'm not buying it.

BTW I don't think it's going to be release this soon.  The ps3 has only been out for like 3-4 now.  I think usually they are released on the 5-6 year.  I think what E3 has in store for us is a price cut not a new system (I could be wrong)
Title: Re: PS3 Slim Redesign Spotted !!!
Post by: ~:Dhruv:~ on May 15, 2009, 11:11:04 PM
its not a new system , its like the ps2 slim, they are shifting to a 45nm architecture so will save on the cooling system and as suck the physical size of the parts will decrease and they will be able to use lesser raw materials for building it and will hence save on costs....
also marketing it as a PS3 slim will definitely give it more appeal as something newer and fresher along with a price-cut.

Well look at the PSP... First one came out what, 2005? Now it's 2009, and we're already on the 3rd revision of it. It doesn't take much to release a "slimmed down" version of a system. From what we've seen from Sony's "slimmed down" consoles, the only improvements are a smaller and lighter console, with some minor tweaks.

Post by: ~:Dhruv:~ on May 18, 2009, 08:49:44 PM
okay , i'm pretty sure that this is legit coz engadget was issued a cease and desist notice over the article......... yipee E3 is gonna be really interesting :)
Title: Re: PS3 Slim Redesign Spotted !!!

maybe they got it because it had ps3 on it.  maybe it was a knockoff company that got ballsy  :dntknw:

Post by: budgray19 on May 19, 2009, 08:14:32 PM

Sorry for the bump, but what's the news on a new PS3? I thought I read something about the slim not existing, but that a new PS3 is indeed coming, but in a different way.
Title: Re: PS3 Slim Redesign Spotted !!!
Post by: Slim Hacker on June 04, 2009, 08:45:43 PM
As of now no new PS3 whatsoever know about officially but ppl hd rumors of the psp go and it came out so there maybe some new hope(not at E3 though).
Title: Re: PS3 Slim Redesign Spotted !!!
Post by: ~:Dhruv:~ on June 04, 2009, 09:29:20 PM
it is indeed coming out , just not at e3.  Sony want to get rid of existing inventories before bringing out the new one.
Title: Re: PS3 Slim Redesign Spotted !!!
Post by: cusinnd on June 08, 2009, 07:38:34 AM
I really think there will be a ps3 slim but I dont think it will look like this I think it will look a lot better and I think it will be a little bigger.
Title: Re: PS3 Slim Redesign Spotted !!!
Post by: ~:Dhruv:~ on June 08, 2009, 08:10:32 AM
hmmm... ps3 slim  is being bigger ???? not much of a slim then is it ???
Nah this is pretty real , they are just waiting for the inventories to empty out....

Sony are running down stock of the PS3. They have (not to the public) anounced new bundle packs but have not started taking orders for them. They have to do some thing to gain public trust after not dropping the price at E3 and making the PSP GO so dam expencive.
 An old school friend works for SCEE and hes told me to keep my eyes open in the next two weeks!... I am a bit of a Sony fan boy so im getting quite excited. A slim PS3 would take the strain off my day of release PS3 phat! Roll on the 24th! shhh...

I have now notified my friends in Germany to be as meer cats and keep a look out. Sounds bloody amazing if everything goes as we hope. I mean, I've already got a First Gen PS3 so I am good to go, bust still. I'd like to see more people with them. I wish I had only paid 250$ for mine ._. I could have bought too XD

Killzone 2 was um.... .... A good way to waste 4 hours of your life and gave you the perfect opportunity to be ripped off at game stop when trading the game. Metal Gear Solid 4 was unbelievably entertaining and is great for any game collection.

Yea this looks but are the specs still the same we dont know compacting something that small with what the larger PS3 has it i dont if will have the same specs with all that heat being produced.

Title: Re: PS3 Slim Redesign Spotted Update
Post by: ~:Dhruv:~ on August 03, 2009, 09:02:31 PM
Sony will be able to downsize the ps3 because they have shifted to a 45nm achitecture thereby allowing for less heat to be generated and so a much smaller heatsink to be used. So , they can cut down on that and can make the PS3 slim without removing features.

btw , stupid question BUT when does the 'Holiday Season' start ???

Those seem to be something like platinum titles.....
If it is a Photoshop , it is definitely a very convincing one.
The only thing which seems odd to me is the all in one memory card reader .... i didnt expect them to put this back in.

On second thought , it looks like someone has photoshopped 'The Slim is in ' over a pre-existing yellow banner ..... Could someone look this up , i dont have access to Best Buy to know how their banners look :P

No that is what bestbuy adds usually look like I believe this is either

(A) a very crappy pic of the add
(B) a very good PSed add
(C) someones way to piss people off
