Haha, that looks awful.
If it costs less than that $800 singapore dollar 80GB PS3 then I'll buy it and put it next to my 360. Then I can laugh at all the fanboys and PC elitists who say either console sucks because then I would have all 3.
I hope to god that's not the actual design. I want a box. I want my square PS2 style PS3. This curve shit is getting annoying. CURVE DOES NOT EQUAL NEXT GEN!

If you look at the one in the top picture, it looks different from the one in the picture on the box on the bottom one. Maybe it's just a case.
[B]EDIT:[/B] which implies that you can customize the case, epic
Looks Cool, Plays shit.
I would buy a PS3 if it was $100 cheaper, if it had the ability to play music/browse files WHILE you play, and if it had better games.

:crossarms:
Couldn't this be one of those horrible Chinese knockoffs, like the Vii?
It's highly unlikely to be real, as Sony denied the the report and no further announcement has been made about it. It is most likely a fan-made *fake*, or a PolyStation due to it being of chinese origin.
But.. But...
[b]I [u]JUST BOUGHT[/u] A PS3![/b]
I guess I lose then.
Yeah, this is probably some cheep knock-off form china. don't get too excited over this.
It doesn't say anything about being slim on the box and if it was, why would they show the biggest angle and not the side where it actually is slim?
It's obviously a different model due to the lack of the metal strip thingy and PS3 written instead of Playstation 3, but it doesn't look much different than the top half of a normal PS3.
Just look at the pictures that show anything of the bottom, it's incomplete like it goes ontop of something. Maybe it's just a remodel, possibly unnofficial for case modding or is just the work of those guys who like to make stuff like this just to get media attention when it's a hoax.
Looks like shit
If it makes the original one cheap, I'm all for it. I really want to play MGS4!

[QUOTE=Elmand;16549274]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 - [b]IT STILL WON'T BEAT THE DS.[/b] 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 [b]popular with consumers and developers,[/b] instead of just re-releasing a console to try and [b]patch up the problems the PS3 has had from day 1.[/b][/QUOTE]
Already has.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Like what?

It's been able to play music in-game, as well as browsing files, for months now.

Old news however.
[QUOTE=SeRo-;16544098]The PS3 isn't that expensive anymore...[/QUOTE]
520.68 Dollas.
That's NOT EXPENSIVE AT ALL !
[QUOTE=SeRo-;16559111]Already has.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Like what?[/QUOTE]
Your shitting me. Your saying PS3 has more sales then the DS? Do you ever check sales records?
Man, that worker must have made bank if he sold those pics.
[QUOTE=sHiBaN;16562431]Man, that worker must have made bank if he sold those pics.[/QUOTE]
he could of gave it away for free.
My PS3 fucking broke; it won't read discs at all anymore and the Sony tech support is about as useful as repeatedly smashing my balls with a hammer ( and about as painful ).
I might just fuck it all and buy one of these when they come out... if they're cheap.

[code]Night Before Christmas for the Home-less
'Twas the night before Christmas on PlayStation Home,
Not a creature was stirring resembling a gnome;
A character was made with great pride and care,
Despite my distaste for the lack of choices on hair.
Error -603 tried to keep me away,
Still, I tried seven more times and was able to play.
To my studio apartment my character tracked,
And noticed I, then, the options I lacked;
All eight pieces of furniture were colored in white,
And wallpaper choices were dull or a disgusting sight;
I thought to myself as my hopes slowly died,
"Perhaps there will be more once I venture outside."
As I walked through the courtyard in search of some game,
I noticed the theater was calling my name.
The screen said it was downloading, so I found a seat,
In the front behind others who were still on their feet.
The men were all asking the woman for cyber sex,
Except the one dancing, who said, "show some respect."
I stood to go join him in frolic and fun,
And chose as my dance move the man on the run.
Once dancing grew dull, I returned to my rump,
As the download completed, screaming, "Hey! Down in front!"
When, what to my increasingly bored eyes should appear,
But a trailer for Twilight, not a film would play here.
I got to my feet and went out the door,
Thinking they could've at least picked a good movie to advertise for.
Then, I thought I should give the bowling alley a try,
Hoping soon I'd find something to keep me from waving goodbye.
The ten lanes were full at 4 players each,
And no one would leave no matter how I beseeched.
A single-player arcade in the two rooms nearby,
Featured bastardized versions of old games I would try.
I was finished quite soon with the ruined Echochrome,
And Ice Breaker was just Pong made to play on your own.
On my way out the door, I saw pool tables, as well,
But realized fast that this pool game was hell.
One more building remained that I hadn't yet seen,
So into the mall I went for the first time since age fourteen.
Here, I found a small assortment of things I could buy,
Using real money to decorate my apartment, but why?
I'd found nothing so far worth the time I had spent,
And that money is something I need to pay rent.
I could upgrade to a summer home or purchase clothes with money just the same,
But the question I'd asked with no answer still remained.
I finished exploring all there was to do,
And decided the thing we'd been waiting on for over a year; almost two,
Was one of the biggest disappointments of 2008,
Worthy of nothing more than sadness and hate.
I pressed the PS button and selected Quit,
Just after typing a message to any that could see it.
They heard me exclaim, ere I faded from sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and PlayStation Home sucks."[/code]
Why the hell do they need to make it slim? Why not make it 3 times as big using cheaper, bigger parts so the people who don't wanna fork over a ton of money for a PS3 can actually get one at a reasonable price?
The PS3 slim version might be too late to save Sony from losing out in the console market
I doubt it's worth upgrading from a normal (and sexier) PS3 to that thing.

I made a female character in Home and was asked for sex in about 4 seconds.

Even the current PS3s are manufactured in China. Also, the box says Sony. If the Vii said "Official Nintendo Product!" their asses would be sued to kingdom come.
[QUOTE=anothermartz;16558708]It doesn't say anything about being slim on the box and if it was, why would they show the biggest angle and not the side where it actually is slim?[/QUOTE]
Sony has, historically, abbreviated the names of consoles when they slimline'd them.
"Playstation" became "PS One".
"Playstation 2" became "PS2".
If you look at the pictures of the PS One and PS2 they don't say it's slim either.
This actually is confirmed. August 18th.

I own this, very sleek little box. But damn, that new PS3 is thin!
