You know, I think it actually looks pretty nice. If the price is really $300, maybe I can finally get one. giggle;

I saw a few pictures of the one like pictured above. It'd be cool if it looked like that.
I honestly don't care what it looks like, as long as its cheaper than the current PS3 then were good.

Yeah no, that's one's definitely fake. I believe it was discovered that they took the images from a Flickr user's mock-up gallery.
I think it's pretty much guaranteed well see a new model at Gamescon next week.
Well, production prices are down by a lot, so yeah I don't see why it wouldn't exist.

Someone posts:
QuoteNot wanting to rain on anyone's parade, but this Kmart flyer is also fake. It's a well done fake, but it's been Photoshopped into the center of the following flyer.
[lastshepard.files.wordpress.com]
If you look very carefully, you can also see that the old USB drive deal has been cleverly flipped upside down and faded out to appear to be coming through from the other side.
I hope it's real but have doubts.

I think most people who care about it, care about it because it'll reduce the cost of producing a PlayStation 3 and hopefully reduce the price of the system itself not because it's smaller than the current model. doodhuh;

I am so excited.
If the price is reasonable and it has BC with the PS2, I will definitely pick one up mid-2010, maybe during the holiday season when all of the killer PS3 exclusive games are released (GOD OF FUCKING WAAAAAR).
it probably won't be backwards compatibnle with the ps2 and according to the rumors it's $299 n_u

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. baddood;
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
PS3 Confirmed, $299. Get one now niggers.
It's being released in September, but if you can't wait until then, all of the large models are now $299 as well. goowan
If that is really what the slim looks like it is ugly doodhuh; 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.

I don't really like the matte finish, but I don't really care.
Thank god I got my fatty. Not only can I install other OSes but it also won't overheat which the slim undoubtedly will do. Also, it just looks nicer.
Some silly thoughts about the dimensions:
According to the specs posted by Joystiq today, it's a perfect square. I don't know, that kind of weirds me out. n_u
Also according to these same specs, it's 6.5 centimeters tall. That's... actually a bit thicker than I would have imagined. befuddlement
The square shape is a bit odd, but who cares?
Also, I think the height looks pretty good, it's a clear improvement.
Plus it's only $300 and it's 120GB, so it's hard to complain.
Also, what about the PSP news?

It's also half an inch wider, front to back, than the original. n_u
the only things that really bother me about it are the matte finish, the odd curve that separates the disc drive area from the rest of the console, and the placement of the buttons

I've already got two consoles, so I'm going to wait until the PS3 gets cheaper until I spend money on it. It might take a while for the technology to get to where another price drop is acceptable, but there's not much exclusive to the PS3 at this point that I feel like I have to own right now. LittleBigPlanet, God of War, etc. are worth owning, but I'm not ready at this point to buy a PS3.

Most people who say they don't give a shit about Blu-Ray have never actually experienced Blu-Ray.
Also, Reefer's right, Blu-Rays are never more expensive than 12 Bucks. We get them for free because my Brother is a writer for High Def Digest.

They're not hard, to turn the system off you just hold your figure down on the 'button' for about two seconds until you hear a beep. And the eject should work when you press it. befuddlement

I don't get it. :(
Each stage is a dream that a flower in front of the window you saw at the beginning of the video makes. In the stages, you control the wind with the motion controls to make flowers bloom. After all the flowers of a group of flowers have bloomed, you bring life back to a part of the scenery/stage and a new part of the stage opens up. You do that until you get to the swirling bunch of cherry blossom petals you saw at the end, which ends the stage.
Bah, the way I explain it makes it sound so cold. It's actually very pretty and poetic. giggle;

Nobody cares about the PS3 being smaller, and they took
one feature away, one that hardly anybody ever uses.
Slightly cheaper? It's one hundred dollars goddammit, that's a hefty price cut, and crosses the line from "expensive" to "buyable". Plus, this is after 3 years of people waiting to be able to afford the thing.
