Slim PS3 is Heading for Shelves this Spring?

PS3Slim%20GI.jpgThe guys at T3 are saying one of their inside men has heard word that Sony will be producing a slimmer, sexier PS3 heading for the shelves this Spring. While everyone knows that Sony will eventually shrink its very obese console, such news would come as a surprise given that Sony took many more years to shrink their PSOne and PS2 (though Sony has recently successfully shrunken their Blu-ray laser to fit in laptops). Still, Sony’s biggest goal at the moment is building consoles cheaper. Maybe that means small, too. Maybe it doesn’t.


Either way, T3′s mock-up looks sexy as hell, and they also think a new rumoured 160GB model could appear in the new slinky, skinny-as-Kate-Moss form. [T3]

    My free PS3 will arrive next week, courtesy of the Bravia promo. I don’t give a rat’s if this mythical slim version comes out the next day. Why? Because it’s FREE! Free, I tell you! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

    For those who want the slim one, good luck with that.

    Yeah it looks like a Wii and why would it need that useless piece of protruding plastic? If that’s the bluray drive there wouldn’t be any space for the HDD.

    But i guess it’s still a concept design, I can’t really criticize it.

    sony is smart for making this stuff like PS but its kind of ridiculous…cuz they dunno who buys it exactly they just know ppl buy it and they jus do whatever whenever they want i guess…but i only had my ps3 for like a year and i got it at the start of 2008 and they claim ps4 is coming…they should never even make 1 yet or a slim version of ps3 ..no point ..sooner or later nobody will be interested in wasting money ..ovbiously if they make a ps4 itll be able to play ps3 games..sony is retarded
