271w ago - T3 magazine are touting a rumor that Sony have a slim PS3 in the pipeline. Their source also reckons that a 160gb machine is coming soon.
Now personally I think this is a bit too soon, but it may just be yet another downsize of the console to save on manufacturing costs.
To quote: The guys at T3 are saying one of their inside men has heard word that Sony will be producing a slimmer, sexier PS3 heading for the shelves this Spring.
While everyone knows that Sony will eventually shrink its very obese console, such news would come as a surprise given that Sony took many more years to shrink their PSOne and PS2 (though Sony has recently successfully shrunken their Blu-ray laser to fit in laptops).
Still, Sony's biggest goal at the moment is building consoles cheaper. Maybe that means small, too. Maybe it doesn't.
Either way, T3's mock-up looks sexy as hell, and they also think a new rumored 160GB model could appear in the new slinky, skinny-as-Kate-Moss form.
Hello Everyone, first time posting!
been here for a while never posted till today
Been here a while, first time posting. Everyone is very helpful....
Though I think, if this is true, it'll hit Japan way before it hits here in America. We've got the MGS4 80GB bundle coming out and I think that'll be the only revision/bundle in a while .
so while this idea sounds good due to the size if the ps3 it may be best to wait 3-4yrs and add a bigger hardrive which is less likely to overheat (this could be a problem if rushed) also it may be a good counter to what ever xbox release (720?) which i think is likely to take place in the next 4-5yrs
