Slim PlayStation 3 coming?

article published on 2 February, 2008

According to T3 magazine, Sony is planning to release a new slimmer, redesigned PlayStation 3 console. In the report, a source has said that the new updated design will be smaller, lighter and may contain a 160GB HDD. There have been other rumors recently claiming PS3s with larger capacity HDDs are coming but this latest rumor seems a bit far-fetched, considering how young the PS3 is. ... [ read the full article ]

And since when did linking to COMPLETELY LEGAL open source material become against the rules?? YDL is FOSS and licensed under the GPL, or does that stand for nothing in Finland since the MPAA/RIAA made pussies out of the government?

Rumours of a slim ps3 are just that.. rumours. Expect to see one when there are about 12 months of life left in the console to extract yet more money out of people.

The slim PS3 will probably have a lower life expectancy than the slim PS2, barely a year. The PS2 worked for 1 year for most people I know and that is just a bad idea for anyone who plays alot of console games.

Hellooo, if Sony can make a decent laptop I know they can make a slimmer PS3 with everything the bulky PS3 has and maybe even better, but I doubt it will be coming out that soon. If they want to make money selling a slimmer PS3 they should make a cooling dock cause they're gonna need it. (sold separatly of course)
This is what they should make the slimmer version have:
1. free wi-fi
2. backward compatable (for newbies out there I mean for it to play PS1 and PS2 games)
3. affordable price
4. more MMO games
5. two USB ports
6. cd/dvd player
7. some kind of messenging app like the Wii's message board and Xbox's Xbox Live
8. better on screen virtual keyboard
9. 160GB HDD
