[highlight]UPDATE: The PS3 slim is [thread=794995][u]confirmed.[/u][/thread][/highlight] Now as you may know, Sony has released "mini" versions of their old consoles. 5 and a half years after the Playstation, there was the PSOne. Cheaper, smaller, better. [img]http://www.rolentapress.com/rolenta/collection/sony/psone.jpg[/img] Then, 4 years after the PS2 came the slimline PS2. Again, it was cheaper, smaller, and better than the original. [img]http://www.ps3news.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=18044[/img] Now, we have the PS3. It's tremendous. And no "slimline" version has been announced as of yet. But a slim version may be announced soon... and (it was inevitable) here are some pics, allegedly from a Chinese manufacturer: [IMG]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/859/102035ps32.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3116/ps3slimbox.jpg[/IMG] [url=http://www.engadget.com/photos/wild-and-slim-ps3-redesign-caught-on-camera/][u]More pics here[/u][/url] The PS3 has been out for a while. This would certainly improve its image, and thus sales. Furthermore, it's worth noting that [url=http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/slim-ps3-update-mysterious-chinese-firm-issues-a-cease-and-desi/][u]a Chinese firm has issued a cease-and-desist to sites displaying the images.[/u][/url] A slimline version would mean that the price would most likely fall dramatically, the power consumption would go down, and (obviously) so would size. People have always complained about the price of the PS3. And many have complained about the size (but honestly who gives two shits about that it's a fucking console). This would certainly mean something for the PS3. [B][U][I]NOTE: THIS IS A RUMOR. THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED.[/I][/U][/B] Here are some more possible sources though: [release][list][*][url=http://kotaku.com/5327710/german-amazon-lists-ps3-slim][u]Kotaku: German Amazon.com has list for a slimline PS3[/u][/url] [*][url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology/2009/08/04/ps3-slim-set-for-18-august-115875-21571033/][u]Mirror- "PS3 slim set for 18 August?"[/u][/url] [*][url=http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/slim-ps3-update-mysterious-chinese-firm-issues-a-cease-and-desi/][u]Engadget- Chinese firm issues cease and desist to sites displaying the photos[/u][/url][/list][/release] Discuss.

This would actually be my first console I would buy if it is real.
Fuck that. Why doesn't Sony just get working on a "PS3 Cheap?"
hahaha it looks like a car door
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;16543914]Fuck that. Why doesn't Sony just get working on a "PS3 Cheap?"[/QUOTE] The slim versions have been cheaper than the normal versions in the past. The PS2 left out some unnecessary features, like automated disc tray and a fan. The price went down.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;16543981]The slim versions have been cheaper than the normal versions in the past. The PS2 left out some unnecessary features, like automated disc tray and a fan. The price went down.[/QUOTE] Let's hope it's appreciably cheaper then.
[QUOTE=Ralbane;16543922]hahaha it looks like a car door[/QUOTE] I see what you mean. Haha.

They won't fix that fan in a slim model though.
I'll stick to my bulky George Foreman PS3, but this looks good for new PS3 owners.
I think that looks retarded, but if it does come out, that should mean that the fat ones will be cheaper.
[QUOTE=radioactive;16543997]I see what you mean. Haha. [editline]07:43PM[/editline] Good thing the PS3 doesn't have a Disk Tray. They won't fix that fan in a slim model though.[/QUOTE] The PS3 has a fancy doodad for getting the disk in. The thing, whatever it is, in the pics appears to have the same thing. But the PS2 had a door that slid out, like the disc drive on most PCs. They replaced it with a button that opened the top. So less power. But cheaper.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;16543914]Fuck that. Why doesn't Sony just get working on a "PS3 Cheap?"[/QUOTE] The PS3 isn't that expensive anymore...
God it's ugly, looks like a piece of car debris.
:| I still prefer 360. PS3 has never really impressed me, even before I became an Xbox fan.
[QUOTE=PromiscuousPancake;16544174]:| I still prefer 360. PS3 has never really impressed me, even before I became an Xbox fan.[/QUOTE] That's nice.
Looks like the lid of a toasted sandwich maker.
i dislike the new ps3 thing, i mean wtf
[QUOTE=PromiscuousPancake;16544174]:| I still prefer 360. PS3 has never really impressed me, even before I became an Xbox fan.[/QUOTE] Why? They're both consoles. They are both next-gen. They both have multiplayer. Sure, they both have their own perks over eachother, but is that really worth this petty dispute?

Argh, I just bought my PS3 last week!
I hope to fuck it's cheaper. Then I can finally play MGS4.
PC > console I don't think I'm ever gonna buy a console.
[QUOTE=GunskiMod;16544626]PC > console I don't think I'm ever gonna buy a console.[/QUOTE] It really depends on the game. Consoles are great to just sit down and play games with. I personally can't stand playing GRID or any other racing game for example without my 360 controller
Had a slim PS1. (after the normal one broke) Had a slim PS2. (after the disk tray on my normal one started scratching games) Gonna get a slim PS3.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;16544650]It really depends on the game. Consoles are great to just sit down and play games with.

The PS3 Slim could not be that small.
i'll stick with the monolith but still hope it's true so my mate can get one
[QUOTE=helpiminabox;16544469]Argh, I just bought my PS3 last week![/QUOTE] This is a rumor, it is [I]not[/I] confirmed. It might not be real.
Yeah, that thing looks way too small to pack half of what the PS3 has. Who knows; maybe Sony has some uber awesome .00001nm processor. :P

If it really was coming out in 11 days. We'd have heard Sony bleating on about how epic it is.
