I'm not sure about this....
Maybe this could be good:
- cheaper
- slimmer
- lighter
OR this could be bad:
- hardware will be cut, leading to missing features
- new hardware ( i.e. More RAM)
- this would lead to the same thing like the PSP where old users miss something
Maybe you could reply here with some other points that I miss here, something like an idea collection.....
Could be good. I think it could even have the same affect DS Lite had on DS sales. As long as they don't put better hardware and only change the way it looks, I won't be pissed.
my first reaction is like "Autumn?! already? that's too soon!"
for one, i just personally think that sony should first come out with a stable PS3 SKU with solid hardware specs and not phase it out for another version.
the way i see it, there's been an awful lot of changing of specs since the ps3 came out a year ago. kind of makes me feel that maybe sony's doing this whole "testing the waters" thing with the market.
which makes me think, wait, they've had decent sales and all, so why test the waters even further? so maybe that's not it...
unless, of course, this new slimmer model WILL be the solid and stable SKU that sony will continuously manufacture and back up. or as Seoulfood said below, an SKU that could give "that uber-sales peak that all console redesigns seem to bring about."
oh and by the time autumn hits, the ps3 would then have been around 2 years old already. which is about the same timespan that sony released a redesigned psp slim.
yes, there are hardware considerations, but already, sony's made progress with the blu-ray laser. reduced down to 3mm, baby! (which also poses some possibility of cut downs in manufacturing costs) so who's to say that they can't reduce the size of other hardware chips and pieces down to slimmer components in a matter of months?
in that sense, i also have to agree with Eclipze_: "I dont think it'll happen anytime soon but eventually it'll happen."
so... yeah... just my two cents here. whacha think tho? ^_^ but yeah, this slimmer model does pose some pros and cons. and all we can ever do is speculate. for now, at least.
I dont really think their "testing the waters" in a way, I think there just seeing what the consumers will actually like to buy (lol if it dosn't sell then they might as well not make it).
If they actually DO make the slim ps3 I dont think that their going to take away features, if anything they'll add features like they did with the PSP slim. Although since this is a console I think they'll keep the features and just drop the price and add a dual shock 3 and a game or somthing in the mix. All in all I actually think this will be the better bundled up version like the PSP slim.
But really.. I dont care what they do from this point on lol, I already have my 60gb ps3 so thats all I need. I'm just waiting for Mgs4/Mgo ^_^.
I call shenanigans. Unless they're trying to have that uber-sales peak that all console redesigns seem to bring about(PS, PS2, GBA-SP, DS-Lite, PSP S+L)

sorry for the double post...
I refreshed the site accidentally...
This is total BS. This article is full of statistics and ZERO KNOWLEDGE. This is how analysts make their money.
Had the author been INFORMED about technology he would have seen that smaller more compact units came about when technology itself shrunk. The PS3 can now be manufactured at 65nm but that's not small enough to make any major design changes.
Once BOTH the cell procs and GPU are 45nm then and only then would a smaller unit be considered.
Another fact which proves it's a fake:
"according to a particularly well-informed insider"
That always spells BS!
Not a chance, yes the older ones have had slim downs but not so soon after released, it will happen eventually but seriously come on, it aint even been a year, get a grip.
QJ will you please start posting useful news instead of this crap, you need to have some sort of quality control going on here.
It HAS been a year, but w/e. I dont think it'll happen anytime soon but eventually it'll happen.
Carefull! Someone named "king victor v" made himself the QJ police and will tell you not to read articles you don't want to read...or something...
HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Quit "making up" rumors QJ!!!!!! Karl B. should be ashamed of himself.
Making up rumors? Check the source. If you think it's made up, maybe you should tell them that.
Oh that's right! What was I thinking, QJ can't think for themselves, they can only parrot back what they read...oh wait...even a parrot can CHOOSE what to parrot back....hum....
The point here is that we're merely reporting the rumor itself. That's why it has a "Rumor" tag at the start of the article title.
...and the point I made, actually on a different fake news post, is that QJ has entirely too many fake news posts from "a particularly well-informed insider".
These turn out to be false 100% of the time. Give it up already. There is nothing "well informed" about these people that do not exist.
Maybe instead of parroting you should learn to have thoughts and views and help to debunk this garbage. You know, actualy do something that has value.
Finally, something intelligent. See, that's actually a good point. My bad, though, I forgot to mention the relative PlayStation console redesign cycles (very roughly 5 years for PS, 4 for PS2, 3 for PSP). While it doesn't really mean anything, it is kinda interesting that the PS3's already been out for over a year.
And be a bit more generous. It's not 100% of the time. Most of the time - maybe 95% of the time - yes.
ISO the truth is he's just reporting the news, if you dont like it then dont read it.
One point: If they were parrots they would say it was real, because obviously the "well informed" guy thinks its real (I think it is too because those pictures look pretty real to me).
So jump off the staff, opinions are opinions, their here to give you news. YOU give your opinion of what you think about the news, thats all you need to do.
"It's always 100% false"
Thats your opinion, its not a fact. Stop trying to make other people think like you, YOU think for yourself and thats all you need. Stop bugging the wrong people if you dont believe in all these rumors.
And obviously this news came from somewhere, the source (even if you dont believe it or not) is that "particularly well-informed insider" that they are talking about. Gunna make me have to cyber slap a hoe if you keep on like this (You mean good but your going about it the wrong way).
Hey Eclipze_, I'm just commenting. If you don't like it then don't read it. Gee, that was easy.
The truth is, he's NOT reporting the news. He's adding to the BS that is the media today. At some point in time someone will have to become responsible for all the crap.
"So jump off the staff, opinions are opinions"
Practice what you preach, my opinions are opinions to. Deal with it.
"YOU give your opinion of what you think about the news, thats all you need to do."
That's all I did. What part of it didn't you understand? Fake, not real, bogus, parroted news....
"Thats your opinion, its not a fact.,"
Prove me wrong. Lets hear it. Cough up one rumor, that wasn't given after Sony filed papers with the FCC or patent company, that came true.
"Stop bugging the wrong people if you dont believe in all these rumors."
I didn't bug anyone. Like you said, if you don't like it, don't read it. Kind of a lame comment eh?
"Stop trying to make other people think like you"
I haven't attempted any such thing. You seem to have a real hard time understanding.
"(even if you dont believe it or not) is that "particularly well-informed insider"
If you believe that garbage then that's your problem. For the past two weeks anything relating to Sony speculation has been from a "well informed insider". Sony either has a guy on the inside that knows EVERYONE or they have a TON of leaky employees. Neither can possibly be true.
Anyway, I accomplished exactly what I wanted to. Gullible people will hopefully read the comments then think twice about this fake news. People like YOU can keep this argument going if you or they like.
First off I knew you were going to say dont read it if I dont like it, but I never said I didnt like it did I? I'm just telling you to chill the hell out.
"The truth is, he's NOT reporting the news. He's adding to the BS that is the media today. At some point in time someone will have to become responsible for all the crap"
Lmao.. responsible for video game news? Get a grip, its not that serious, like I said before chill the hell out.
"Practice what you preach, my opinions are opinions to. Deal with it"
I never said you cant say your opinion, but when your opinion starts interfearing with one of the staff members thats when I step in. Opinion is opinion so dont make it somthing it dosnt need to be. (I do preactice what I preach buddy).
"That's all I did. What part of it didn't you understand? Fake, not real, bogus, parroted news...."
You were actually calling Karl B. a parrot and that he needs to "think for himself", thats were you went a little too far, His job is to give the news thats all, you dont need to jump on him because of that.
"Prove me wrong. Lets hear it. Cough up one rumor, that wasn't given after Sony filed papers with the FCC or patent company, that came true."
Dualshock 3 was a rumor that just poped up at the tokyo game show, thats one. I dont even need to prove you wrong, Nothing is 100% (never say never). Over exagerating dosnt help when your trying to make a point.
"I didn't bug anyone. Like you said, if you don't like it, don't read it. Kind of a lame comment eh?"
Lame comment lol, Just look around on QJ and look at your posts. This one your bugging Karl B. How bout you stop repeating yourself with these posts, we heard you the first 10 times.
"I haven't attempted any such thing. You seem to have a real hard time understanding"
"Oh that's right! What was I thinking, QJ can't think for themselves, they can only parrot back what they read...oh wait...even a parrot can CHOOSE what to parrot back....hum...."
Hmm.. that looks like your saying he cant think for himself.. Only because he's not thinking like YOU.
"Anyway, I accomplished exactly what I wanted to. Gullible people will hopefully read the comments then think twice about this fake news. People like YOU can keep this argument going if you or they like"
People like me can keep up this argument? When your the one brothering QJ about a rumor that they posted? Lmao, maybe you didnt notice yourself arguing with one of the staff members off of some of the dumbest 5hit I've seen on here. Gullible people are going to read this and think your PMSing off of a rumor.
wow... just wow.....
I never thought that something this unimportant could result in such a flame war.....
Yeah it has been out a year in America, but not in the UK. So I was realting to those dates, but I still think it's well to soon, and QJ should stop posting rumours and start posting more substantial news. I hate hearing about what could be, so rather than posting what might be, start posting what IS.
Post what might be when you hear it straight from the horses mouth IE - Sony.
...are just rumors. and sometimes it pays to hear about them. why? because sometimes, these rumors do come true. and THEN they become news. so think of rumors as some sort of weather report - sometimes it's actually sunny out there the whole day, sometimes you might actually have to bring an umbrella.
take this instance for example: before, the phasing out of the 20GB model was simply rumor, and then it carried over to EB Games supposedly shutting down their stocks for that certain SKU.
http://ps3.qj.net/EB-Games-manager-We-will-stop-selling-PS3-20GB-models/pg/49/aid/88759
was there any problem then? of course not. because after the rumors... came the news! the weather forecast came true.
I'm not dissing QJ, more like just constructive critisism, I like the site alot, it's the one stop shop for all the latest news in one place so you don't have to go looking around everywhere else, because it always appears here, but I just hate the "Rumour" stuff, you only need to post what is there, because there is nothing worse. Just stick to the good sources, and only post what you know is good, instead of all the crap in between, it's like with the PSP custom firmware 3.80, its coming today, oh sorry no its not, it's tomorrow, sorry its not tomorrow but it will be here soon. Just post about it initially, yes it's in production because you knew that to be true, and then post WHEN it's released, not when its predicted to be released.
This site has the potential to be so much better and so much more reliable.
Its not what you say, but HoW you say it. Mentality if SoMe people around here posted like you we'd have a better site also.
"I'm just telling you to chill the hell out."
No one cares. Obviously, take a look at your ratings. I know exactly what you are trying to say and it's pointless. Everyone, including yourself is entitled to their views.
My views stand.
"Get a grip, its not that serious, like I said before chill the hell out."
Maybe not to you, but it is to others. Getting GOOD DECENT news in this area is getting harder and harder because sites like QJ spread crap rumors without including any validation.
"I never said you cant say your opinion, but when your opinion starts interfearing with one of the staff members thats when I step in."
1. Yes you did.
2. Who the hell are you? You step in? Again, look at your ratings, it would seem the average person wishes you would step out!
"You were actually calling Karl B. a parrot and that he needs to "think for himself", thats were you went a little too far"
1. No, it's not.
2. That was between him and I. At some point a middle ground was found and understanding was found on both sides. So again, who the hell are you?
"Dualshock 3 was a rumor that just poped up at the tokyo game show, thats one"
Wrong. That was NOT a rumor. I already explained most of that as an example, go back and read.
"Just look around on QJ and look at your posts. This one your bugging Karl B. How bout you stop repeating yourself with these posts, we heard you the first 10 times."
10 times? What are you imagining now? I only complained about fake news in TWO articles.
"Hmm.. that looks like your saying he cant think for himself.. Only because he's not thinking like YOU."
Learn to read bud, QJ does not equal this specific person.
"When your the one brothering QJ about a rumor that they posted?"
1. I didn't bother anyone.
2. That convo between myself and him ended a LONG time ago. This is all about you now.
"Gullible people are going to read this and think your PMSing off of a rumor. "
Again, look at the ratings. Your the fool, not I.
all you guys that don't like the news they bring here, go somewhere else and get ur information there. To me thoug, it reminds me of the old ps3 pictures that had the boomerang controlle.
No, we're going to continue to post comments about this fake news crap so those people that believe everything they read will be forced to use their own judgment.
Oh, btw, if you don't like the comments, don't read them. DOH! That seems to go both ways. Your bad.
the only unpleasant thing on this site is you.
if you're not capable enough to take in articles you read intelligently then just stfu cause you're humiliating yourself...
what an overdramatic moron.... and if you don't realize everybody else here are posting their views on this article REGARDLESS of this being a rumor and stating their opinion... you're the only one who's picking fights and for the entirety, just plainly looks like an immature kid.
That's interesting, because my original post was simply my view. What you are crying about in your post is EXACTLY what you and kaden just did. Can you say HYPOCRITE boys and girls?
In FACT, all my posts have been on topic. Your post has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand and serves ONLY to fight. So...who's fighting? HAHAHAHA!!!! At least kaden's post had SOMETHING to do with the topic.
So, keep it up girly! Next time please at least explain to us all how you think this news is or is not fake.
cause i take everything in intelligently... and some things just aren't worth commenting on.
and why should i explain something that i never claimed in the first place idiot?
and your posts were indeed your views... your VIEWS ON QJ AND ITS WRITERS!!!! that why i'm telling you to grow up, try to pretend to be mature, and stop being so overdramatic especially over something that was specifically labeled as a rumour.
now kid please stop blowing yourself.. cause for sure that's how you got your foul mouth.
You clearly have no understanding about News do you. Its anything that can be true or not at any given moment in time. And since QJ can't just call up Sony's direct line to get the story your whole argument is finished before even started.
So seriously STFU, if you don't like Articles that has rumors then leave. NO one wants you here.
QJ if i was you i wouldn't tolerate this kind of behavior and would banned his account or deactivate it.
@Quixand - Again, you tell me to grow up yet you do exactly what you tell me to grow up about. Have fun with that.
@Stealth! - I understand news just fine. I take part in MANY news sites and QJ is the absolute worst when it comes to spreading rumors. Most sites look at the FACTS and report as such. QJ just parrots all the BS.
I'm tired of these ridiculous rumors. I doubt we'll see a PS3 Slim ANYTIME soon.
PPL have a chance to share thoughts and ideas. And this is a great chance to......well ......speculate.
As for my 2 cent - According to the pattern of redesign(excluding handhelds), we'll see a slim PS3 after FOUR yrs of original release. (if my algrebra or wotevr is right)
Im sure its obvious to many that 2010 -2011 will be the yr...........
Stop crying, all of you. Just shut up. If you dont like it, dont get your panties all up in a bunch.
Error - The PS2 didn't come out in 1999. The earliest release was in Japan, which was on March 4th, 2000.
i hope they leave the george forman look
i really like it and if just stinks of quality, i dont like the slimline ps2, coz its too slim and i think the original ps2 and ps3 look nice under the telly, but the slimline ps2 looks a bit tacky!
just my opinion, and speaking of opinion, maybe you guys should lay off ISOHAVEN a bit, as thats what this site is about, at least hes not a 360 troll!!
liked the normal Ps2 and Ps3 looks the best (Never had a slim console before lol). I'm going to keep my nice looking 60gb Ps3.
And I was only talking to ISO so harsh because QJ's just giving us information, theres no point in calling them parrots and stuff. Anyways I actually like SOME rumors because it makes me look foward to somthing.
on both counts, i like rumours too, but hes entitled to his opinion,even if i don't personally agree with him, but im sure karl.b is big enough to deal with comments, good or bad, himself!! lol!
just my opinion though!!
