PS3 Slim?

[Thyme]

it probably won't be backwards compatibnle with the ps2 and according to the rumors it's $299

I'm personally still hoping they'll release that firmware update that would make all PS3 backward compatible that they patented not too long ago.

yeh i'm delusional

Yes, it's not impossible.  It'd just be complete software emulation like the Box Circle has.  I'd also like to see some of the harder to find PS2 games make their way to the PS Store.

Personally it's a shame that Sony is not doing backwards compatible right. The PS2 is only the most successful video game console with the biggest video game library.

Blu ray is so much cheaper than ever too.

PS3 Slim announced for First Week of September

[Oh]

 PS3 Confirmed, $299. Get one now niggers.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

It's being released in September, but if you can't wait until then, all of the large models are now $299 as well.

If that is really what the slim looks like it is ugly  so I am hoping its not. It basically just has more space adn I can replace the hdd on my ps3 anyways so it isn't that exciting for me.

If that is really what the slim looks like it is ugly  so I am hoping its not. Also unless it has bc or some other thing my normal sized ps3 doesn't then it isn't that exciting.

it looks like it's going to be exactly the same, with the only differences being physical size, hdd size and msrp

Yes.  Buying one of the current 80 Gigs would probably be a better deal anyway, if they're still bundling them that is.

Posting just to say that I don't think it's ugly.

The only thing I really don't like is the matte finish.
otherwise it really isn't too bad
