I'd say its too early for a slim, and this has just all risen from the rumors of a new SKU and Sony's financial results.

I have a feeling that the 360 will be presented in slim form first. In Japan and EU to begin with, followed by NA a few months after. MS really needs to try to kickstart sales outside of NA!

Oh the irony. His post was actually funny, and not trollish at all.

I remember reading a long time ago that Japan's interest in the PS3 was a little low and a large PS3 box was part of the problem.

Still, a rumor is a rumor and I don't know how likely it is despite Sony's massive jumps in cost and energy reduction.

I really hope this is true. Would be nice to have a PS3 which can easily be taken to friend's houses.

Funny if you are a troll i guess

I hope none of you put any faith in those pictures, there's no way they could get it that slim just yet.

Although with chip size decreases, and the new slim BD laptop drive, they could make a slim PS3, just not that thin. I'd say if it had the thinkness where the drive is at go all the way up, then it might be possible.

Seriously, what's wrong with putting a Hello Kitty figure on a PS3, when a Hello Kitty PS3 model was being discussed?

You are too sensitive.

It's a little early for a PS3 Slim, more likely is a smaller, quieter, efficient unit which will have an easier time fitting inside Japanese homes. The current PS3 looks gorgeous, at least to these cynical, bleary eyes, but the huge curved surface means you can't stack it anywhere. So maybe we'll see a PS3 Trim, as opposed to a PS3 Slim.

Then again, Sony has moved much faster and farther with its hardware than I ever expected, so who knows.
