First Starhawk, now this. The E3 leaks begin!

I predict that the new models will have no Wi-Fi and no ethernet ports. This would be in line with Sony's new philosophy that online is a last generation feature.

Yes genius. This is why - if you clicked the source - you would have seen the complete data sheets for the em tests (Wi-Fi antennae behaviour etc).....

Do the specs show if they've added a sarcasm detector? If so, you should pick one up at launch.

Oh, come on, Nintendo! You could totally trump Sony here with a redesign of your own!

Any slimmer and it's a standalone DVD drive ;)

That's what the Project Cafe is for haha, but naw that will be an 8th gen console. Aww well, does PS3 really need a new redesign? I mean a price cut would be nice, but my guess is that the new model is the same but with an updated security and hopefully a $50 pricecut. Its not too much to ask for, and I'd say its probably gonna happen.

It may not need one, but really, a redesign is far more effective than a price cut. Of course, this is the second one it's getting so it'll be much weaker, but a redesign gives a more solid and permanent boost, really. They're prolly gonna accompany it with a price cut, anyway, though, so sales go kaboom either way.

rofl!!!!

On topic, perhaps from the different numbering of models, starting with 3, we could guess it's a whole new redesign... Which would be nice, I still think my PS3 Slim is kinda large.



Yeah, i saw this like... a couple days before all this hacking news came up.  I just assumed someone had posted about it already.

Guess not.  All the other Sony news has been missing. For example  they just lost a non-binding decision in Finland that suggests they should pay 100 euros to people in finland who are upset about the loss of Otheros.

I was also surprised to see this hasn't been discussed here, I'm hopeful that this revision will retain everything available in the current slim, while hopefully reducing the base price in the process.

not even worth it



Frankly, the onlything I think they'd need to fix on the PS3 is three things.

1) The air intake: My PS3 gets so hot, I can hear the plastic form on the outside clicking because its expanding from the heat.  And more than once I've had it freeze up on me because it got too hot, at which point it automatically shuts itself down.  This is definitely something they need to look into.

2) HDD speed: Reading from the disk to the HDD takes quite a while.  Installing games can take up to 2 hours...I can understand its uploading multiple gigs but that's a slower rate of data transfer than what my External HDD gets copying from a DVD.  And even then, I can accept this.  But loading times IN game are atrocious, mostly due to the read time on the BD.

3) Online support: I'm fine with the content of online and I really like the Trophies and Leader Boards for most games.  However, downloading from PSN is quite slow.  I doubt there's much they could do hardware wise to fix this.  But they should still look into figuring out how to improve this problem.

Dude that ain't normal O.O.  On another note that freezing is because your lense is starting to die.

But I've only owned my PS3 for like 2-3 months.  And its the newest Slim model.
