Sony finally reveals the rumors are true.
Bigger HDD and LESS MONEY.

Price: 299.99 (used to be 399.99)
....And the PS3 looks more appealing to me everyday...

My PS3 is still just as good. The only difference is size, price, and hard drive. Still no backwards compatability.

Why does it seem that the original PS3 looks better than the PS3 Slim in my opinion?

I agree. The PS3 Slim look a bit too... plastic. In a different way than the regular one... I can't really describe it...
Su. Price Drop, Slimmer console and Bigger HDD. I'm getting it because I don't have a PS3 and it's slimmer and has a bigger HDD. I'll hsve enough money then.

Yah, it looks like it doesn't have the "PS3" shine that we all see in the stores behind the cases.
Well, at least it's one I have a better chance of affording! ;D

Now that's going to be the best part, that way...either me or one of my friends could buy one and we could play it! :D

Yah, that's a game that I think has been totally under-rated...but that's for a different topic!
I just am dieing for a ps3. I'll get that, MGS4, KZ2, and Sonic '06!!! ;D
That's just so funny, now-a-days you just wait a while and a cheaper version of a gaming console will come out for retail!
plus, you can use the USB controller plug for your computer! It's good for me cause I play a lot of PC games

Looks pretty sexy. I would totally buy one if I had the money, Wii games are getting a bit...boring.

True, but that likely means that the PS3 Slim will attract a lot less less dust.

no, it already can. The current PS3 has a USB cord to charge it's batteries and it can also plug into the computer.

Holy crap, now that's something I could use on certain LP's! 8)
IT DUSH? Yay. I'll like that.
i saw it is 32% smaller, uses up 34% less energy and is 36% lighter than the PS3...hmmm
Yes, another reason I want one. :3
It's cheaper
Yessss....
:3 YES Chaosy.kun, it is.
i was gonna post this but it looks like u beat me to it ;D
i see that they have also changed the logo
Yupyup. Haha, I FINALLY beat you to something.
if you have a ps3 already why bother getting another one no different the the original one accept the size and the price
I don't have one.
I hope this one won't turn out as much epic fail as the Slim PS2...Those systems were horrible, No fans to cool the system ruin it.
IMO, they're better than the PS2 Phat's. ROFL.

how was the PS2 Slim horrible? They seem pretty epic to me.
My answer may have been based on cause I have a SCPH-79001 Slim PS2

They are too thin for fans and the fans keep the console from overheating. So people had alot of problems with that...You can't play the damn thing for over 3 hours without it burning.
I have a slim ps2, and I play it for over 6 hours, what you talkin' bout?

Well it depends which one you had year wise? I know right when they came out that had millions of complaints, but they may have fixed it at some point.
I won't need this, I already have 60GB PS3 that plays PS2/PS1 games :P
I wasn't impressed when they did this with the PS2, and I'm certainly not impressed now.

"The final surprise of the press conference was the unveiling of the new PS3 system. Responding to consumer demand for more space and the move towards downloadable content and games, the new model features 120GB hard disk drive whilst being 32% smaller in size and 36% lighter, with 34% less power consumption. Available in stores the week of September 1, 2009, the new PS3 will be priced at £249. The current PS3 will also be reduced to £249 from August 19, 2009."
It's a lot better than the older model and it even costs the same!

INCORRECT. I accidentally left mine on for about 20 hours. Roflllll

It depends which one you had year wise. (In my other comment) They probably fixed them at a point. Right when they came out my bro had one and it overheated because of leaving it on. They probably fixed the problem sometime.

The only real difference is that now you use slightly less electricity... Slim is nice, but it's not needed... Just a price drop on the regular would have been much more sensible. Instead they're wasting the money to make two versions of the console. At least until the original is discontinued and everyone starts buying the Slim because it's "better."

My point extended upon.
PS3 slim is going to be the PS3. No more PS3 Phat's once the ones in stores are sold.

And the ones that are still being made as we speak... The factories have to complete the consoles they're contracted for as well, so they won't be gone right away.
Still. They will be.
But who is actually going to buy the old model? The new model is better and costs the same.

Not "better" in functionality. Besides the newer model may be smaller and all that, but because of this, it is easier to get it damaged by a careless owner. Plus, no matter what they do with the fans, it will overheat faster.

Not true! You could do something like this!

Course, that'd probably blow everything else out of the system.
I honestly don't see what the big hype about a slimmer PS3 is
is it really all that impressive that its easier to carry or what?

um,thanks I guess
I don't know why people thought PS3 was a rip or over priced, before... Your spending/getting $250 Descent BlueRay Player $85 for a HD. $70 Dual Shock 3 $150 For free online service, play music/videos etc, playing games. Seems pretty fair for me.
I wish i had a ps3.That i must buy soon.
I might get it. Since it's cheaper now and less space. :P

My slim PS2 DOES have a fan in it, but it's tiny. It's one of the early slim models and it's been used heavily and still works great after countless hours of use.
On topic; I have a regular PS3 80GB model (upgraded to 250 by me). Looks-wise I prefer it over the slim model, the slim one just doesn't look right to me at all.
ok im so getting that for chrismas.
rofl. If you say so, Nazo.
PS3 Slim is 2,399 in my country, can't afford.
