Well this is a surprise.. not-.-
They only want to bring this out so that they can price slash the ps3, and bring out slim and stick it up at its ps3 selling price. Stupidity, but they did it with the ps2, And sony don't drop old traits that quick. |

Will it mean a lower price? That#'s all I care about. Once it comes down in price by £100, I will pick one up second hand. |

Good to see I'm vindicated after so many nay-sayed the initial rumors/reports simply because the badly taken photos of a proto-type cast weren't shiny (hence the reason it's a proto-type). Now I await the price. If the PSP Go is anything to go by (no pun intended,) then we may be in for a shock, and not the pleasant kind...

less plastic, less PCB. a 45nm chip, less power consumption.
all can equate some price cuttage.
it will have a power brick no doubt, like the 360 already has. |

It will probably be £400 as it will cost less to make than the first product, so will get a 'premium' treatment.
Seriously, if this is more than £200 then forget it. |

Yeah, I'm not convinced that this will have any price cuts applied to it initially...especially considering Sonys comments about the PSP Go the other day. I also think it's unlikely to have any of the PS3s functionality removed (as some have predicted).
It will, however, most likely drive the cost of the original PS3s down - especially in the second-hand market.

The photos were indeed of poor quality but I still think they are fake, or at least of a prototype. I just can't see the finished product looking like that, although I would've said the same about the PSP Go so who knows. |

Is this real?!?!?
A new slim line PS3 coming out in the Summer? Surely E3 would have been the place to announce this  ?

the slims will probably be about £250+ as its seen as gadgety.
dont think the fat ps3's will go away. they will be reduced to £200 maybe.
giving the consumer the choice, sony extra profit and install base. a win-win. |

I hated my fat PS3 and the shape so I took the shell off and re arranged the innards and put it into a slim DVD player from ASDA. You know the sort, very small about the size of a large book and it was only £19.99 so I threw away the gubbins. It looks great but I am having problems booting it up Anybody got any ideas?

I don't see this selling for any less than £250, as I honestly can't believe it will retail for less than a PSP go.
Fu*king hell Sony, just give us a PS3 for a realistic price, will you? It's not like I don't want one, I just don't want to feel like I've had my pants pulled down. |

It would seem so on the surface, but then whom would buy all the existing bulky PS3 stock knowing a slim version is just on the doorstep?

Knowing Sony, they'll probably charge £350 for it, as I really can't see them charging the same for it as a PSP Go.

Why does everyone think the PS3 needs a redesign? Am I really the only one that thinks it looks the best this gen? Anyway, it doesn't matter when you're playing it as you should be looking at the TV. |

I'm just playing with ya, it does seem like a pretty risky thing to do though, I'd keep a close eye on it if you get it working. If it's still under warrenty you could always send It to Sony and hope they don't notice it's not in its Ps3 casing  . |
