ABOUT FUCKING TIME: PlayStation 3 Slim Official

[TequilaClock]

Damn.

If there is something the PS3 really sucked for it, was the price. Finally a PS3 Slim is coming near

AS always they pretended to not be true, and BANG yes it is.

[Marlin Clock]

There has to be some sort of catch. They wouldn't put it at the same price as my 80gig model if there wasn't a catch.

[TequilaClock]

So far it looks it was actually as they manufactured it in Asia. Everybody was saying it looked fake, but I think it looks pretty.

I guess I'll get one.

[EtchASketchClock]

I found a picture of it playing a game. It looks nice!

[Marlin Clock]

I'm wondering what they took out of the original model.

[YoYoClock]

the ps3 should have always looked like this. currant one is ugly

[GearBoxClock]

If I was ever going to get one, this would be it.

[Topcatyo]

I'll keep my current one.  It works nice, plays PS2 games (which apparently they've taken out of newer PS3's), and I rather like the look of my current PS3.

[TremcladClock]

I don't like the dull finish.

So why is it so important that a console has to be lightweight and small because it makes me really wonder what the hell you people do with these things that you require them to be small.

It means that we could get it even cheaper because the production does ot sacrifice much innecesary gadgets. It could even compete the Wii's price.

The problem with the PS3 is that it is expensive because of the production and Blu-Ray still costs a bunch. That said, they have a lot of shit that we really don't require to play games. A price cut was almost impossible with the first version because Sony was already losing a ton of money just by selling them cheaper than production cost.

So, I imagine that the slim version is simpler and will be friendly in price for both the company and the customer.

Price $299

hahaha, good one!

They announced this on the day I started my new job. Their timing couldn't have been better!

I don't either, but I like that it has buttons rather than those gimpy "touch area" things on the PS3 Big. Plus, I can fit it next to my Wii without much trouble.

WOOOOOO!

If it was 250 id buy it.

Those things are slick.

[TequilaClock]

I don't hate the touch buttons, but I think they only boost the price a bit. How much do they cost?

[Topcatyo]

I love the touch buttons.  They're cool.
