how much do you think it would be? and how big will the harddrive be? i hope there isnt a power brick O.O
Currently the adapter is already residing inside the console, a slimline PS3 will use much less power. Slimmer Blu-Ray drives have already been developed, the Cell and RSX will be shrunk which will require less power, less cooling and can be well implemented onto a much smaller/cheaper motherboard.
It's just speculation, but I think the PS3 could be roughly near halve in size by next year. It will probably be lighter, but still relatively heavy to minimize vibration.
I think pricing will also be dictated by the market situation at that time. Sony has be shown to be willing enough to sacrifice hardware profits to benefit software income/potential. So pricing is anyone's guess (probably including Sony's at this point of time). The harddrive size is the component Sony can use to fine tune its pricing strategy, I think it will also be dependent on the mass scale deals they will be able to pull off with harddrive manufacturers. It will probably go up significantly in terms of storage capability compared to current entry models.
