Someone over at neogaf made a comparison


If it is right then this new model seems to actually be a little bit bigger than the slim. Maybe it is thinner or something? Personally I had been assuming that the inner rectangle was the console but then someone pointed out that the outer rectangle has a little mark that looks like the place for a button or something. 

That's strange, why would a slim version be actually bigger? Even if its hight is lower and it's lighter I'd like the PS3 redesign to be smaller in lenghth and width, otherwise I'll be disappointed. Perhaps the pictures are out of scale? They seem to take the little 'legs' (I don't know how you call those) as a reference, but perhaps they are smaller in the new design.

Certainly possible the little rubber legs have changed. However it seems unlikely. They are apparently the same on the PS3 and Slim. I don't see what the point in redoing and using a different element that doesn't need change would be. Would be creating cost for no reason. I mean they already have that component for the normal slim and they are simply functional not a design element. So makes perfect sense to use the same pieces you already have for the redesign. 

Technically it's narrower but longer. However I think it still turns out a little bigger overall. Of course it could be half the height since we can't see that. 

Does seem a little odd if true though. However I wouldn't be too surprised if it was the case.
