I really do like the new look.



I think it looks fine, it's not the über prettiest console of all time, but it isn't ugly either. It's just fine.



2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 :

PS3 is too big, looks like grill, have no place to put it, too glossy, catches too much dust, too expensive and why do they copy the spiderman logo, just ugly.

I will buy one if Sony lowers the price, fixes the dust issue, increases the HDD and make it smaller

August 18rth 2009

Sony announced price cut, makes it smaller and slimmer, fixes the dust issue and the logo.

Fans: I preferred the old PS3, IT was beautiful and glossy, and that beautiful logo. I won't be buying it.

Thank you! This sums up my thoughts on people whinning about these things.

Though the leaked pictures were indeed real so there probably isn't much of a point in dong this, but compare the neogaf mock-up with the actual Slim

A cheap plastic shell will do that to some people.
I think its their cleanest console design ever and that really matters when trying to sell a mutimedia entertainment device. PS2 was always stupid looking imo and keeping this new PS3 simple and flush makes it more like a high end entertainment device.

 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

No one ever asked my opinion but yes, it was too big and looking at its replacement makes it bleedingly obvious.

not that much bigger than my 360 or PS2, smaller than my PC...

it also has that nice glossy finish and the cool silver bit at the front, not to mention the logo is all cool and shiny, big PS3 is the shit, best looking console i own.

new one looks like cheap plastic with PS3 embossed on it, which is a shame cause the PS1 and PS2 slim looked really cool (though i personally prefred the big PS2, which i have, but slim PS2 was still pretty cool) 



!!!!!!GOOD-GOOD!!!!!!
