Forums - Sony - It's Official, PS3 slim announced

I like the look.

Don't know why all of you are putting it down.

Nakushitemo torimodosu kimi wo

Here is some more info on the Slim with fine details. Say goodbye to installing Linux though.

Where does it say you can't install linux? I searched for linux on the page and nothing came up.

That's just irritating... one of the few reasons for me to get a PS3 was actually Cell development with linux (and I have the posts to prove it).

The only thing I hate about it is the fact that the PS3 abbreviation is too far on the right.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

It's above the details of the Slim.

Check my post again as I've included it.

Yeah, it looks a bit weird when it's standing vertically.

It looks hot to me.



After a google search, I found that the dimensions of the fat PS3 were, 12.8" x 10.8" x 3.8" and weighed 11 pounds.

After converting mm to inches, the Slim is 11.417" x 11.417" x 2.56" and weighs a little over 7 pounds.

Thanks, I saw it now... I guess it's the fat PS3 or nothing for me.

Sony is hellbent on removing features since the PS3 launch.
