Sony Announce New Slim PS3 Model

[MonkeyClaw]

Is it just me or does nobody else see how you would upgrade the HDD on the new slim? I hope Sony didn't get rid of that because if so I'm hoping that there's an older Slim around by the time I want to get a PS3 again.

I am pretty sure I remember them stating that you can, they mentioned on the 12GB model that once you install a hard drive the 12GB portion that is built in is no longer usable as long as there is a drive installed, so there has to be a way...

Ok good, I just don't see anyway of doing it in the pictures that's all. Seems odd.

I wonder how much longer they going to ride the ps3 out at that price point? "Fuck it. We gonna keep it at this price and we won't hit the $199 sweet spot until the ps4 is near launch."

Just saying that's Walmart's Anniversary bundle and that sale ends tomorrow. Meaning that the PS3 Bundle in your link is only available from September 14th to September 20th and then it will be gone. I wondering if Walmart/Best Buy/etc will lower the PS3 160GB slims now to move them out of stock.

Based on the unboxing video, I say the new disc load system sucks. Long live slots.

And the price went up by $20.

[DarkVincent07]

Just wondering why they would put an eject button or emblem along with no lip on that door if it was made to open manually...

The video shows that you can open it manually or mechanically, the eject button also opens it.
I quite like the look of it... Minus the glossy sections (gross fingerprint magnets), but the disk open tray thing does look a bit flimsy..

Good thing you can open it manually in case opening it mechanically doesn't work anymore.

I'm pretty sure the current slims will see a price drop or various "value added" inclusions to unload whatever is left of the old stocks when the SS hits retail

I like it, I want one My slim looks like a fat boy in comparison.
Going off what we know, there is nothing to suggest the super slim being prone to failure? So for the size alone I should upgrade?

[Kuro]

Yeah made up my mind I'm gonna try to get that Uncharted bundle.

new disc load system could be problematic.

[MonkeyClaw]

The one thing I give the original Wii props on is how smooth and quiet its disc loading slot is compared to the PlayStation's, I hope with the PS4 (or Orbis or what every they call it) they put nicer mechanics inside if they stick with the disc loading slot (which I hope they do!).

[Silver_Knight]

I love it. I think my ONLY complaint is the stupid grill looking thing. I wish they would've kept the glossy look all the way around and it would've been perfect.

I ordered the Walmart bundle yesterday...honestly am quiet disappointed that North America is not getting the cheaper 12GB option, I really do not understand that logic at all.

The Walmart deal was too good to pass up seeing as my 80GB Motorstorm fat died last month. I already own all 3 Uncharted games so can turn around and sell them for 10-15 a piece. I will end up with a $175 taxes in PS3 which is damn hard to beat

Good deal. I was hoping for a 12gb for the ss ps3 @ 149.99 so I can use it primarily as a blu ray for my bedroom

Found this video that answered my loading games question

Looks better in the video than pictures I've seen

[keefy]

Just exactly when they put it side by side with a 360 they put a banner up covering them so cannot see properly.

[AaronSOLDIER]

Can't believe you still don't get a HDMI cable with the PS3...

[Kuro]

You think they'd add it by now whats it retail again? 15-30 dollars?

lol, A 10w reduction.

Still not N wireless technology?

Why would sony spend more money on an improvement when they can get away with using outdated tech.

It's all about the cost savings.

[D3seeker]

Plasticy is Plastic Should have made it out of titanium and glass

Hope my slim doesn't decide to kick the can ANY time soon. Also feel like they could have stuck with the same HDD sizes they have now and up the wireless to N, and up the BD drive speed. But what can you do? Still regret not having the original beast

[chrisw26308]

I still have my original fat playstation from launch day.
