[QUOTE=Protocol7;16544650]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[/QUOTE] That's what [url=http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/productdetails.aspx?pid=091]this[/url] is for I could never bring myself to buy a console, to spend that much money on something that just plays games seems pointless. PC's play games too, but they do way more than any console could, and you can upgrade a PC, and if it breaks you can fix it yourself
[QUOTE=PromiscuousPancake;16544174]:| I still prefer 360. PS3 has never really impressed me, even before I became an Xbox fan.[/QUOTE] My 360 red ringed yesterday. And it's the newer version. Good thing I still have a PC
It looks like the lid of the current PS3.
[QUOTE=Ralbane;16543922]hahaha it looks like a car door[/QUOTE] It's one of the rare occasions I laugh at posts on Facepunch. Thanks.
:barf:
I think it's fake. The big "PS3" emboss on the top is nothing like the current.
[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] The PS2 Slim most certainly had a fan. It was just very small.
The kotaku link is a fake.
That looks really ugly, it looks like a smashed Cadbury Egg.
[QUOTE=GunskiMod;16544626]PC > console I don't think I'm ever gonna buy a console.[/QUOTE] >PC gaming laughingelfman.jpg
I might get it if there's BC but otherwise I'd have nothing to play my PS1 and PS2 games on.
why would somebody spend 400$ on a skinnier version of a cuonsel
[QUOTE=Coldlead;16548357]why would somebody spend 400$ on a skinnier version of a cuonsel[/QUOTE] What the fuck is a cuonsel?
Damn, my brother will be pissed, he just bought a ps3.
It's probably still going to be 599 us dollah's
[QUOTE=Godwin;16548432]It's probably still going to be 599 us dollah's[/QUOTE] Ironically I bought mine for 180 pounds. (300 dollars)
I just got a YLOD and have no warranty...should I try and fix it or wait for this (it's most likely true)?
It looks fucking stupid. Why is it huge and flat, doesn't take a genius to realise it's a stupid shape that looks like a hassle compared to the non hassle of the current. Looking at the size of the disc slot, it is definitely wider aswell.
It looks like all they did was cut the PS3 in half and cram all that shit into that thin little piece of plastic. It doesn't even look shiny, it looks to be that weird color/texture as the PS2.
If it's cheaper than the original, I'll get it.
[QUOTE=markfu;16545121]My 360 red ringed yesterday. And it's the newer version. Good thing I still have a PC[/QUOTE] It's weird that the first alternative is to jump right on your pc instead of going outside when your console is broken.
No point to this whatsoever other than to try and make the PS3 more successful. Look Sony, you're releasing a 4th version of the PSP soon - IT STILL WON'T BEAT THE DS. Looks like the PS3 is going down that route - If it doesn't sell, make it lighter. The PS3 as a console looks great and has all the features I could want from a gaming system, but surely it just makes sense to focus on making your system more popular with consumers and developers, instead of just re-releasing a console to try and patch up the problems the PS3 has had from day 1.

Slim = overheating.
[QUOTE=The Epidemic;16544401]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?[/QUOTE] I prefer it because I've played both and I like Xbox better? I'm not disputing it. Lol. I couldn't give a shit what other people prefer.
PS2 Slim was better? To my knowledge it was a piece of shit compared to the original. Though, I'm biased towards the original because mine has served me well for 8 years, that and the PS2 slim looks like shit in general. v:nv
If they're going to release it this month, why haven't they announced it? The 18th isn't all that far away.

People have bitched about the price of the PS3. A price drop would be welcome... [QUOTE=Hmn30;16548524]I just got a YLOD and have no warranty...should I try and fix it or wait for this (it's most likely true)?[/QUOTE] All the news pages are saying August 18 so that's not too long a wait. I'd wait and see. [QUOTE=Godwin;16548432]It's probably still going to be 599 us dollah's[/QUOTE] Price drops, lol [QUOTE=Coldlead;16548357]why would somebody spend 400$ on a skinnier version of a cuonsel[/QUOTE] Slimline consoles cost less. If you have a PS3, great, don't but the slim. If you don't, and the slim IS real, and it's cheaper, better reason to buy it.

It'd look better if it was rectangular like the PS2 slim.
Should go down to 300 bucks.
