They were always screwed on PS3. PS3 graphics for the game suck in comparison to 360. In the marketplace right now, I think developers like EA are more likely to care about 360 support than PS3 support.

If they whip out a PS3 that thin and it doesn't burst into flames from overheating, I'll eat my socks.

I'm gonna need better pictures of this thing before I can tell if it looks good or not. Right now it looks like it's the same size, just not as fat.

Why are Rock Band players screwed? It says two USB ports, which is what I have and we play 4 players here since the Rock Band USB hub is $5 at Target.

this would really help with cost so a price cut could be possible. And really if who care about rock band, stupid game anyway. And no the 360 dose not look better.

Obviously a fake. The PS3 in the top photos doesn't look like the PS3 on the box in the bottom. And the top photo is also just as obviously the top COVER of the regular PS3, I mean sheesh.

I think it may be the real deal...perhaps they opted for the same plastic as the slim PS2? I think it only looks ugly here cause it's a nasty pic....in the end who knows? Still I do like that font change. The Spiderman 3 font is a little...ugh. Just try and picture this model in a sexy glass case?

No, I'm serious. Look at the box, the PS3 there has plastic under it where you slide the disc in, with the eject and power button in the same place as the PS3 does now. That's a picture of a current PS3.

Well remember the PSP 3000 photos from a while back. They looked odd and terrible just like this but it turned out to be real and nice. Plus it just goes hand in hand with all the rumors....it's too much to be fake. Excellent box, decent system....
Remember these?

As I posted in another thread it looks to have been partially confirmed as real (from an insider in the know), but an earlier version of something that is much improved over what has been leaked so far.
There is also other supporting factors like how in 2 pictures there is a pink covering ~
that is similar to the workstations used by Sony employees to build the PS3
Along with how how the motherboard already is almost halved in size currently
And lastly this picture looks REALLY close for a "fake"
Again as I said in the other post they will probably announce it during E3, drop the price on the current models and then release the Slim around the Holiday season (probably also add a bundle with GT5/FF13 etc. for killer sales).
There are A LOT of things going on for Sony this year and from all the info I have, E3 will be an eye opener say the least.

If they do release a slim version, I'd love to see the size of the power brick! I wonder if it will be bigger than the 360's?

I heard that the PS3 uses a lot more electricity than the 360 in some article that compared electricity usage of all 3 consoles (wii uses a lot less than both) so the power brick will be huge probably.

If that's the top of the regular PS3 than they must be changing the font on top as right now it is spelled out Playstation 3, and the picture just says PS3.

Not entirely correct. The original 60gb mb was 180 (watts) whereas the current 80gb is 110 directly because of the 65nm CPU/GPU. Plus when idling, browsing & other minor usages it is definitely lower...now during gameplay it *might* be higher but I have to double check the 360's power consumption stats. Either way, it shouldn't be drastically more IF it is.

The harddrive is already a 2.5 slim laptop drive, the only other option for them would be to go to solid state or flash etc...but that would be MUCH more $$$$$

Personally, I hope this pics are fake because it looks UGLY. Hope I never have to replace my 60GB model with one of these!
