GT: Sony cant keep with leaks, the PS3 SLIM seen in the video is real

[Shadow)OS]

Uhh... Let's remember the very basics of the PS3 please...

The thing is a fucking tank. I mean that structurally, and component wise. That costs 399.

Now think to yourself: "How the hell are they going to pack everything into a slim version?". The obvious answer is to shrink the parts. What do we know about shrinking parts? It costs a whole lot more to squeeze everything together like that.

So there's an upped price tag from 399. On this point, does it sound even PLAUSIBLE that people will be buying the PS3 Slim if it's going to cost more than 399? People are already reluctant to pick one up for its current price, let alone something that will more than likely cost them one hundred extra (just a guesstimate). Who knows? Maybe Sony will cut some more parts out of the console to get rid of that problem... which is another problem in its own right.


Here's another question for you: How are they going to keep that thing running cool and quiet? The heat output on the PS3 isn't like the 360, but it's still pretty damn hot. I don't see room for a fan in that thing, and if they manage to squeeze one it there it's going to be spinning pretty damn fast to keep that thing cooled.


With just those two points, I think the fate of the PS3 Slim is one of two choices

1) An expensive noise maker not many people will buy, with the possibilities of cut features/parts to keep price down, also possibly becoming the next 360 (overheat problems)

2) Does not even exist.


I'm placing my bets on number 2.
