Slim PlayStation 3 coming?DVDBack23 @ Feb 02, 2008 21:04 | 29 comments
In the report, a source has said that the new updated design will be smaller, lighter and may contain a 160GB HDD. There have been other rumors recently claiming PS3s with larger capacity HDDs are coming but this latest rumor seems a bit far-fetched, considering how young the PS3 is.
Sony, as is policy, refused to comment. "We don't comment on rumour or speculation."
The rumor is not completely off base though. Sony has introduced slim versions of its PSP, original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 after production costs fell.

Comment by: SDF_GR (Feb 03, 2008 00:10) Agree with NexGen76, at least 2-3 years till a slim one comes out. |

Comment by: spydah (Feb 03, 2008 02:27) I can see it being a possibility since they shrunk the cell processor to 45nm. Its suppose to offer more power to the chip since its smaller so a smaller PS3 is a viable option with a modified motherboard that doesnt need extra chips to compensate for the older chip. It would be a good idea if the price would be cheaper but remember when theres cheaper theres flaws or set backs. |

Comment by: 21Q (Feb 03, 2008 21:08) Well let's see: laptop Blu-ray, smaller cell, no hdmi, no wifi, 2 USB, no optical, no extra ports, less graphics ram, less mobo ram, reconfiguration of mobo. Yeah its defenantly possible but it will be stupid in comparison to the buff ps3 |

Comment by: borhan9 (Feb 23, 2008 00:14) Quote: As we have seen in the past this is the norm when it comes to Sony and the progression of their products in gaming. It comes out normal then gets a new coulor and rumble pack then goes on a diet and becomes slim and the price stay the same i wonder if that the key here to keep changing soo that the price does not have to alter. |

Comment by: wetsparks (Feb 23, 2008 06:14) borhan, you have kind of made a habit out of bringing up these old news threads |

I love aD and although i do not have the time i once had i still feel i can contribute to these threads although old as in last month. I still want to be kept up to date but i am doing at my own time now. Sorry if that effects u. If this is the case and u think that the news article is too old then why not unsubscribe.

Comment by: tripplite (Feb 24, 2008 19:15) a ps3 slim might get hot quick, the normal ps3 is lacking sufficient cooling to start off with ...  |

Comment by: tripplite (Mar 02, 2008 01:13) no the cooling on ps3 is just enough! me and my buds have a few crashes after playing fall of man for over 5 hours...not enough

Comment by: wood43 (Mar 04, 2008 02:43) Cool! Now original ps3's will be cheaper! |

Comment by: varnull (Mar 04, 2008 04:06) And since when did linking to COMPLETELY LEGAL open source material become against the rules?? YDL is FOSS and licensed under the GPL, or does that stand for nothing in Finland since the MPAA/RIAA made pussies out of the government?
 Free open source software = made by end users who want an application to work.... |

Comment by: SJFSR (Mar 09, 2008 22:18) The slim PS3 will probably have a lower life expectancy than the slim PS2, barely a year. The PS2 worked for 1 year for most people I know and that is just a bad idea for anyone who plays alot of console games. |

Comment by: Gamewiz71 (Feb 16, 2009 05:21) Hellooo, if Sony can make a decent laptop I know they can make a slimmer PS3 with everything the bulky PS3 has and maybe even better, but I doubt it will be coming out that soon. If they want to make money selling a slimmer PS3 they should make a cooling dock cause they're gonna need it. (sold separatly of course)
