Short =/= slim. Short = .... short.

Of course we don't. I was just making a point that Sony's in a terrible financial situation right now and that there's no proof a PS3 redesign would improve their situation, and might therefore choose not to release one anytime soon. Heck, for all we know a redesign is not even an option for the company right now, whereas some people seem to think it's a definite fact already and that it's unthinkable for Sony NOT to release a redesigned PS3 soon.

We just don't know, and I was just expressing the opinion that I thought it unlikely such a redesign would be released anytime soon.

Alright, that makes sense. And I agree with you, I think a redesign is unlikely, see my first post. However, Sony may not be in this situation much longer, putting a redesin, at sometime in the future, likely.

Alright then. :)

And yeah, I also fully expect Sony to release a redesigned PS3 sometime in the future. Definitely. Just not anytime really soon.

  See that, we can reach common ground after all!!!

Indeed. ;)

short = less home theater space taken. lighter creates for shipping and more boxes per create.

Lol, ok well since I really don't feel like arguing over basically nothing at this point...

I'm just saying you all want slim but say their best possibility is short. Either way I could care less, just stating that "short =/= slim" so I guess you guys should be asking for a PS3 Short

^ i dont care if slim comes or not. making it smaller no matter how benifits sony. cheaper parts and shipping... why wouldnt sony do it? the ground work is already there too all they need to do is change the case.

Some of their chips are shrinking, but they will have to shrink the size of the blu-ray drive, the motherboard, rearrange things, shrink the cooling system, the hard drive location will need moved, the power supply will need to be external, etc.

I don't think you will be seeing a slim PS3 for at least another year.

If pricecuts are real, they are leaked weeks in advance.  Same with the slim.  We would have a leaked image or something by now if they were revealing slim models at E3.

 

BD drive? I don't know if it's that huge... But I doubt it's really that big. I mean, compared to DVD drives? Motherboard apparently has shrunk already, and probably will even more. Judging by the pic someone posted here, it could be pretty close, and with new technology, it will shrink even more. Maybe the 40GB model isn't just small enough but the situation is probably improving even now. Rearranging won't be a problem. 45 nm will not require that big cooling, it produces less heat. HDD location is probably easy to move if it's possible, and if it's needed (I've never looked into a PS3 myself). External PSU won't be a problem, why would it?

Leaks a month before, and about a model that's probably not getting on the market by E3 and at earliest some time after it - maybe even as late as fall, if it's happening this year.

And just to make it clear, I'm not implying a new model is likely. I'm only saying it could be possible.

Anyway, does someone actually doubt a new model's usefulness to Sony? It would certainly increase sales even by itself, and in case of no pricecut, it would increase profit/make losses smaller, while in case of a pricecut, it would increase sales even more. You know, like new colors but with the added benefit of reduced production costs?

They should take the graphics chip out, scrap wifi capability, take blu-ray out of it, stick batteries in the controllers , make it less reliable, cut the browser and announce they are charging for online play so they can catch up with XBox. This should be called the PS360

Lol, you need to learn how to act in regards to the rules.  Trolling is trolling even if you are joking.  Again, I thought humor implied something was originally funny?

And you need to please just stop responding to him.

Both of you just stop it please and leave each other alone.  Don't even bother responding to each other because one of you will eventually mess up and get yourself warned/banned.
