Looking at the Ethernet port and doing some calculations, this is 33cm long, 6.5 cm tall and about 26cm deep .

So 33x26x6.5

For reference, the current model is 29x29x6.5

So, the surface and volume of this model is almost identical to the current one, only rectangular instead of a square. I'm guessing it'll be lighter and cheaper, but I would've preferred if it was smaller...


Would be a little surprised if it was the same size O.o; At the same time though I have said before that they would have problems slimming the PS3 down any more. Development on the Cell stopped when the first revision came out so it's still kicking out the same heat, same power draw etc. It still needs a HDD and a disk drive etc. 



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

oh..
well il keep my current PS3. That is horrible.

people are dreaming who are in here saying $99.. it will be LUCKY to be $149 most likely $199 tbh. there is no way Sony would release this for $99.

Unless the final model is different, looking at the size of the Ethernet port it won't be smaller. Do the maths yourself, you'll see.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

I thought, "who would be stupid enough to say $99" then I realised I did. That was a joke

Why does it get uglier with every iteration? Love my shiny fat ps3.

Well maybe we just dont like change.  I prefer my fat xbox to my slim version.



I trust no one, not even myself.

hmm since some people don't care if they have some ugly things in their living room beside all the stuff they buy to make the living room look nice i would say it will give ps3 a huge boost with a nice picecut and since the 16gb version seems to be real i would say we will see a 100 dollar lower ps3 as the lowest atm. 16gb 100 lower and 250gb 50 lower (or something like that)

will be a good gift for kids with lbp karting or for people who couldn't or didn't want to afford a ps3 until today with that new super cheap game series (forgot the name). and maybe some people will buy that as second ps3 for their second tv in another room. if sony will make money only with the console itself that would be great for sony.

€dit: i just looked, 320gb ps3 is 214 euro atm on german amazon. a 16gb model could maybe go for 99 euro then.

Don't think so. The Hard Drive isn't that huge a factor in the price

not sure but the difference between 4gb and 250gb xbox 360 is over 50 bucks if i'm not wrong. if a 320gb costs 214€ atm, it would cost less at holidays even without pricecut. so without pricecut the 320 gb model would cost maybe 199€ on german amazon at holidays. i believe the new 250gb model will cost 149€ then with pricecut and the 16gb could cost 99€ or maybe 109€

i'm obviously talking about the retail price and not official price. it depends how the pricefight will be between the retailers.

I'm getting a new PS3 either way I think, the 80gb could go at any moment and it would be better off downstairs where it will be cooler and get a lot less use.

I still not convinced that this is the actual newer slim model, it's not smaller after 3 years since the last re-design which kind of defeats the point of a re-design as you're still spending the same amount of money on materials.

I wasn't doubting your math lol. Just saying I would be surprised at Sony if they hadn't bothered to reduce the size at all.
