As you all know, Sony recently gave us some new pics from the ps3 in it's current state. Because they will start the final assembling soon, I don't think they can change the design anymore. In this thread i'd like to sum up the most important differences between the e3 06 model and the current one.
*note: i know that there is already a thread about the new shots, but i thought this was important enough to give it one of its own.
Picture 1 (left E3 06 - right current)
1. Looking at the ethernet ports, you can clearly see the current model has gained a led
.
2. It seems the vents have become wider and are less in number. The position is also a bit different here, it consists of two sets of vents, the e3 06 model only has one. Something else worth noting: the psu is, as it has always been, internal (ac in or alternate current in).
Picture 2 (top E3 06 - bottom current)
1. Just for fun i was counting the number of small vents next to the usb 2.0 ports. It seems as though the top model has 24 of these small vents, while the current has 23. Eight of these are covered in the back, as i highlighted in the pictures above.
2. The new model gained two extra led's, i don't know their exact purpose but I guess one of them is the on/off led. I'm not sure about the other, i guess it serves as a reset led? (when you reset your console, it lights up for a short while?). Feel free to post your input about this manner :-D.
Picture 3 (top E3 06 - bottom current):
1. If you watch closely (better download the hi res version of these shots in the other thread and zoom in) you can see that it looks more like a button and less touch sensitive. I'm still hoping for a touch sensitive button though.
2. The word 'reset' has dissapeared. The I/O logo looks more like a button (try zooming in with a hi def picture). The sony logo has a different color now compared to E3.
I'm sure there are more of these changes, but these seem to be the 'major' ones if you could call it like that. Hope you enjoyed it.
