well they did say "never say never" when asked if they would release another slimmer model so it doesnt suprise me one bit
lol @ their model name "computer entertainment system"
again sony, stop contradicting yourselves. the computer aspect was thrown out in court and stated it as a console

Part of sonys restructering they will lower production costs of the Ps3 with reduced production runs. Lets remember the ps3 is an old man in terms of games console only the xbox 360 out living it. Send in the young blood of the wii u

I'd be disappointed if this were real because of the lack of the wifi n standard, again.

That's the thing with the PS3 console, it's also been found wanting. Always something missing, or of inferior quality when something better could have been used.

Sony missed out on wireless N and now wireless AC is out. Sony will probably have 802.11AC when the PS4 comes out, hopefully.

This one might actually be worthy of the PSthree monicker... I remember when they revealed the slim ps3 it was definitely slim but still hueg as ****

guys, if this new slim console is a top loader think about it, the ps2 slim uses a swap magic disc and sensors in the disc tray to play region free games.... you would have thought sony have learned from this mistake and it's the reason why sony chose to use the slot loading for the ps3, i am curious as to why they have gone back to top loading?

don't think they took out the top loader because of swap magic.. it just is way more high class looking and feeling, and they are prob going back because it is cheaper and they will make more money from selling units

Hmm if top-loading, might be interesting... who am I kidding:
DO NOT WANT.

I made a joke about this awhile back saying they would put out another ps3 version and call it the ps3 slim slim.

so if it's a top-loading console what would you say the probability of it being an exploitable console with something like swap-majic? Just curious.
