Sony unveils smaller, lighter PlayStation 3

I guess any power consumption efficiency improvement is welcome and if you've not got one already the bigger hard drive might appeal (but 500gb is still stingy by todays standards).

I'd guess a lot of us put these in racks & being able to stack components on a single shelf really helps.

this does not make sense. They have never created a third revision before, have they? This would be the ps3 slimmer? Seriously, Like the guy above me, we're looking at one more year before ps4. Sony is going to milk the crap out of the ps3 I bet. They are still doing it with the ps2.
