Sony PS3 Slim launching this Autumn Rumor: Do you reckon?

Just like the slimmer PS2, it does seem very likely.

looks like a wii with a roof

t3 has a reputation for making stuff up so i doubt this is true, but i do believe sony will be making new models of ps3 in the near future

I hope it does go slim just not this soon as i was an early ps3 owner and i would feel ripped off!

Its a nice idea, but, i dont see why they didnt event it in the first place.

It sort of rips off the other customers who brought the original PS3.

Didn’t the slim PS2 sacrafice ports and what-not? I think it’s fairly inevitable that the PS3 will have a slimmer model at some point but will it sacrifice anything doing so?

just the HDD Port and they removed the Dialup modem…not too harsh a loss…but for the ps3 they may have to sacrifice more but i’m sure they’d work it out

“why they didnt event it in the first place”

because the chips shrink every two years, so they need less power and produce less heat.
the first ps3 need bigger fans, bigger cooler system and bigger power supply, if they try to put all of this in tiny space or with basic cooling system… well just ask microsoft what could happened.

but they will not use 45nm CELL chips until late this year, and even with the 45nm i dont think they can put it without cooling system or fans, maybe with the 32nm…

so… a ps3 slim will see the light, but i think someone just potoshop the ps3 and predict it, to their ego so they can say they said it before anyone.

but will take time, maybe years to see the light

Dont worry its all a rumor.. as soon as psp slim & lite came out everyone thought of making existing consoles smaller and more compact. And when the BULKY ps3 came out they ( the public) thought hey it could be smaller!… the picture is from the concept of the ps3 when it started. along with the boomarang controller which never was released.. listen the slim & lite will only come out when a new console arrives… like the rest… sony siad they will not end ps3 production and not start another playstation for at least 10 years! so sorry guys nd gals but nop slim and lite ps3 coming soon

it has to be cheaper, my parents doesn’t want it cause it’s expensive… i would love to have a PS3 slim

will have the blue-ray disc in it and will it be hd ?

Sh*t… this make no sense at all, really, what have you been smoking lately? just think, how are you going to put all that BIG (and i really mean it, BIG) piece of heaven the PS3 is in something small enough, that could be compareable to that of the size of the slim PS2 or something like it. The removal of components would have to be obviously done, and well, afterall PS3 is a Multimedia Center, keyword, Multimedia; so, taking components off can really erase the word Multimedia and its meaning of the description of the PS3… don’t you think?

best wishes, just give a thought

dont like it ,but i hope it will look different

Heinrech… thats like saying they could never have taken a huge computer the size of a room (ENIAC) and shrunken it down to the size of a laptop… i understand it took time but at the rate technology is developing today, it is quite possible that they will release a slim line. With the 2.5 inch instant access hardrives running around these days, the space needed will drop significantly along with a smaller processor w/ the same capability. Ps3 has a 3.0 ghz processor and today quad cores are manufactured w/ 3.0 ghz specs (core2extreme) and a 12MB cache! the largest component would be the blu-ray player. Im sure they could easily shrink down the rsx… for example, there are dual-graphics processor video cards w/ 1gb memory and laptops today with 512mb of VIDEO MEMORY! (and im not talking about the nvidia quadro series).. back when ps3 was being developed, 3.0 ghz was amazing… wer talkin about sony… not some crappy ass rip-off company… ahem microsoft… Look how fast sony releases new stuff… and i doubt they will wait 10 years to start developing a new console… b/c thats way too long. Id say no longer than 7. Eventually ps3 will die if they wait that long because desktop and even laptop gaming will look a hell of a lot nicer by then. Console gamers will be ANXIOUSLY awaiting the next-gen consoles. So basically… while it may not be this year, I beleive it is very likely that it will be in the near future… and also, wont you feel ripped off when the ps3 releases w/ the 160GB hdd and the new dualshock-3 controller for the same price as the previous 80gb one? (if you paid for that one, that is..) I’m sure Sony’s not afraid to piss people off… aesthetics will likely win the heart of many… therefore it is most likely to be very successful no matter when it is released. Not to mention the dualshock 3 controller and a 160gb hardrive is much more valueble than a pos spiderman3 blu-ray which… u could netflix for cheap as crap. Also… the 160 gb hdd will come in handy for the new movie service sony releases later this year. Wont you feel mad when u dont have enough space to store movies? again… they probably wont wait 10 years to release ps3 slim… ha.

P.S. look at apple’s ipod touch. its basically an extremely slim palm when its jailbroken. its also a multimedia device… and its even moreso rediculous than the ps3. sony can take ps3 to a whole new level… while minimizing the rediculously… and i mean REDICULOUSLY large amount of space it takes up.

Hiya im a PS3 owner and i think this one could really be true if you look on google.co.uk for PS3 system (Slim and Lite) their are a few that look quite bad to be honest. also , Sony would bring out a new model quickly as i think this is what they are capable of, seen as i brought the 60GB model the day it came out, and look where that has gone now, they are not being made any more, so Sony are moving on quite rabidly witht he making of there products as the new one the 40GB model only took them about a year too bring up , but as above it says about how hard it is too just start shoving little chips in with big fans or big chips with little fans , just face it it isnt going to work, because i have tried putting my 60GB Card in to a 40GB and blew the 40Gb up :S lol (Did get that one replaced for free though). also it did piss me off lodes just simply because the 60 model

is a lot louder than the 40Gb which was anoying but i do use my SD card readers soo i didnt really want to trade mine in for the 40GB model, might have to check what prices are at the moment for 60GB model and trade that one in for the 60 GB , does any one actually know why the xbox is so bad ? i do kno that its something too do with a chip on the motherboard which the fan just cant simple control ???

Every1 wite bak on dis page

adding on.. i learned that sony’s processor is an 8 core multiple 3.0 ghz processor. 6 devoted to gaming, 1 for the operating system, and 1 for absolutely NOTHING.. interesting as it may be.. not sure why ps3 absolutely needs this type of processor. Just adds more problems to cooling the damn thing… aside from that.. they could also go liquid MTEC cooling (no liquid reservoir) to conserve space while significantly improving the cooling capacity of the console (that is if they are not using liquid cooling already). Anyhoo it is very very possible that PS3 Slim could make its debut in fall ’08. I’m looking forward to it.

if they made it that slim it wouldn’t hold allot of memory.

Okay, First of all. I am not a PS3 fan. I like the ps3. It’s good , but I prefer the Xbox 360. I am neutral between both consoles, unless an argument is brought up between the two. More to the point, the chances of a PS3 slim. In my opinion, are slim. Because of all the memory and the drives and etc. they wouldn’t be able to minimize the size of it. If they did , the Graphics and storage would be worse. There would be less of everything really. That’s why the new generation consoles (Both xbox 360 and PS3) are big and heavy. And the design is not the best. If it is an actual design. Of course it is inevitible that i will recieve comments saying ” Xbox 360 Fanboy” or something like that, But even if I did own a PS3 I wouldn’t buy the slim version.
And I thought Sony weren’t bringing anything out for awhile?
And, Yes I know people will name drop and throw a load of ” 1080i” and ” Blu ray” and all that ps3 stuff.

reduction of size does not necessarily mean a substantial loss of memory. With new fixed disc technology rapidly improving, it is quite possible to hold a lot of memory on a 2.5 inch disc, which is what was the initial idea for sony, but the discs melted for whatever reason. While one may not hold more than 50GB at the moment, I for one would not be surprised if a 100GB or 150GB one came out in the near future. Not to mention, SD made its milestone acheivment with microSD. Insanely small, but holds tons of data for its size. It’s stunning that cards like that can hold 8gb (SDHC) and full size SD cards can now hold up to 32GB. Fixed disc, while expensive at the moment will drop in price while expanding its size. Therefore, size does not necessarily correlate to disc space.. at least on console platforms.

well sony has made a slim version for every one of there consoles and is most likely gonna happen for the ps3 i mean why not?

I think we need to approach it from several angles…

1. Technology. Anyone who says that it isn’t possible is an idiot. I think we all can agree that the technology is getting exponentially better.

2. Economics. Here is the hiccup. Is it worth Sony’s time and money to do this? That is where the argument really comes in because the payoff may not be profitable; it is hard to see.

3. Publicity (with a little economics). Having a new product or a new story generates sales because it puts their product inside people’s heads. I never thought I would buy a ps3 until a friend said he was and we talked about it, and then I kept on reading about it until it was all I could think about. The hype and mystery created are both deliberate because they generate sales.

4. There are more angles….. let’s just stop arguing whether the technology could or couldn’t happen.

esta chingon el play 3 slim

hi i work in the game console industry on the repair and modding side that is and well the ps3 IS 2X the power of the 360 witch is to say the least unstable and the 360 also has over heating problens trashis disk’s and the ps3 well i have both got them at the same time and well i am on my 3rd 360 and 1st ps3 and as for making a slim ps3 well a man in the USA ben heck i beleave managed to shrink a 60gb ps3 into a laptop and this is a man not sony so i am sure that if and when the make a slim ps3 then it will be just as good if not better than the curant on remember the ps2 slim well that WAS faster and better than the old one so watch this space . luke giles (soniclg)

Wow! luke, f.uck mate have you ever heard of grammar? I mean, honestly mate, who could possibly believe anything you say, when you say it the way you do? You make PS3 fans look stupid… go back to school.

lol @ heinrich … its true though

why they didnt make this a long time ago

like the slim verison of playstation2 I will not like it. I have a slim ps2 and no ps3.I will not like the new slim ps3, when I get one I will make sure to buy a 80gb phat version. I thought the slim ps2 was a bad idea to. Sony can just keep it the same and it will be better.

Nice Ren.
It’s good to see how utterly RETARDED you are. Excuse me for a moment while I step out to my lab where I will “event” something. The word is INVENT you know nothing twit. And the reason they don’t just out the slimline versions of products right away is because the production costs of the technology that these systems utilize is absolutely embarrassing. In addition, Sony can keep a consumer’s attention if they consistently have new updates and improvements on current products between console releases. Any questions? Loser.

Tony

Maybe they will remove the internal AC adaptor.

Don’t be such ass.

true

Its not real peeps, just a mock up.

Actually, event is an appropriate word to use in that situation. Your the one thats a twit. Your either british, or your a 9 year old. Because noone uses that word except those two groups.

Whoa now then, ‘You’re either British or a 9 year old’? Are you saying all British people act like 9 year olds? Also I agree with Sam. But is suppose it doesn’t really matter what size it is, it’s what you do with it that counts!

You’re lecturing on grammar? Defending the definition of “event” as a term for creating something new, using phrases like ‘your the one thats a twit’ (the proper use, FYI, is “you’re”), clumping two, completely opposite, entire groups of people together by saying only the British and 9yr olds use the word ‘Twit’ thus insulting THREE groups of people, and finally “eventing” a new word – noone (is that when you have no guests for noon lunch?) – you have no right, sir, to comment on things of grammar until you, yourself, graduate gradeschool.

And, I’ll have you know, I am neither british or 9 years old and I will happily use the word Twit to define you and anyone else who decides to have an argument about grammar on a post about video game systems.

Thank you, goodnight.

ppl would have commented on you, if you werent rude to him for no reason jerk.

Humans like you are always looking for trouble, you could have goten your point around a little nicer

have to say, what about the disc reader? ps2 lost the dual layer disc reader on slimline, will ps3 suffer too?
