Your point?  It still needs to get smaller and judging from the pics they can't go much smaller.  Also, blu-ray drive and power brick still need taken care of and the cooling system changed once they start using the 45nm chips.  Just saying a slim PS3 is still a year away at the earliest.

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.

^ cooling system is already smaller notice on the motherboard the chips are closer to each other? it allows them to have one smaller fan then a bigger one.

^ not side by side but you can see all the heat sinks that the new one doesnt have and the whit part is a part of the case. also you can see the old one is on a scale which is about 2lbs

I am aware that the current system has smaller parts than the originals. This is not new information. All I am saying is it still needs to get smaller. Obviously this is the case or they'd have a slim out already.

They need to shrink the mobo more, shrink the cooling, move the hard drive, export the power supply, and shrink the blu-ray drive. Right now it can only get as slim as the blu-ray drive. I guess they could make it slimmer if they did this and abandoned the PS3 sloping style.

^ they could make it shorter
