Forums - Sony Discussion - Slimmer PS3 Slim is expected this March

dolemit3 on 09 March 2010

This certainly explains the shortages, since Sony is about to release a lighter version of the Slim:

A retailer is reporting today that Sony will be giving the PlayStation 3 a slight weight reduction from its current 3.2kg to 3.0kg. This will be accompanied by a change in model number from CECH-2000A to CECH-2100A.

It's presumable that, aside from just the weight, something else has changed inside the system. Sony often makes minor hardware adjustments, changing the model number in the process.

The retailer expects Sony's PS3 shipments to switch to the new version in March.

This retailer also reports that Sony will be ending shipments on its Bright Yellow PSP-3000 model. The retailer notes that this was the least popular of the PSP-3000 systems at his shop.

Meh, Slim is a marketing gimmick that loads of people fall for. It works for them so why not?

it will probably just continue to be the ps3 slim. the lighter weight is just a way of slightly cutting down on production cost. i doubt any drastic changes will come

Thread title much more dramatic than thread content. The same model, 200g lighter?

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I see what you did there ;]

So everytime a few parts are changed expect shortages?



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

Sounds like another way to cut costs even further. Sony's really learning a lot about efficiency in their systems this generation.
