Nice grill...

That sure looks horrible when compared to the previous models. Here's for hoping that it isn't the real model.

From the image, it doesn't look too slim...especially not after seeing what PS2 was capable of.

From the top, that looks very early 90's 🙂 ... if they do some more efforts and make it look like an Atari 2600, I sell my 1st gen PS3 and buy a new one :-D

 

[DRosencraft]

It looks to be about 2 inches thick and maybe 12 inches long. Considering the parts inside the PS3, not terrible sure they can shrink it much more without stripping something out. If you're someone whose PS3 died, and you believe, like me, that they probably aren't putting direct backwards compatibility in the PS4, this will probably be a cheaper piece of hardware to pickup.

hopefully they will lower the price again

I'm assuming newer slimmer model means another die-shrink, yes?

 

[Guest]

Yes please, die shrinks! I'm considering replacing my old "fat" PS3 (not one of those with PS2 compatibility) with a slim one just because of the reduced noise and power consumption...

Look closely...it's actually bigger than the Slim PS 3...nice grill, indeed...good for cooking.
Almost like George Forman's...

i just checked on IGN about this and they are saying they may release a 16GB model to compete with the 4GB xbox

I think it's ugly. Combining mate with gloss is just bad design.

the photo quality is crap. what did you expect?

 

[tomfreak]

if u ask me with a die shink, adding PS2 chip back for PS2 backward compatibilty on it would almost cost to nothing.

I just find my long dead PSX in my store room. Guess what I am not being able to play my huge pile of PSX game other than DLing a PSX BIOS + ripping it into HDD and play using epsxe.

 

[slabbo]

what are the designers doing? are they purposely trying to make the PS3 the ugliest console ever? all their efforts look horrible, and yes, i do own one.

Looks like bad photoshop to me..

this wont work out and itll be terribly stupid if Sony did that. I doubt theyd do it. ps3 games require installation, and alot of installations are around 4-5gb. xbox is different because those games dont require installation. 16gb may be fine for xbox and 40-60gb should be minimum for ps3.
