Are we going to pretend the PS3 Slim is actually small? Its basically the same size as the 360.

Not really in you add the fat ass power supply.


Regardless, the PS3 is still a massive machine. Hardly deserves the moniker Slim. Unless its used ironically, like calling a tall fat guy Tiny.

they even redesigned the NES way before that.

I saw a real slim at the shop for the first time this WE .. and it is my wife who said first : ''It looks plain dumb and it isn't that slim compared to the one we have at home"... okay



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

Not that much smaller then the 360? Basically the same size? HAHA.

 

360 = 309 mm wide x 83 mm high x 258 mm = 6 616 926 mm Cubed.

360 Power Brick = 40 mm x 117 mm x 72 mm = 336 960 mm  Cubed.

Together = 6 953 886 mm Cubed.

 

PS3 Fat = 325 mm x 98 mm x 274 mm = 8 726 900 mm Cubed.(Remember, the consoles dimensions are measured from it's thickest areas, when taken into consideration, PS3 measures at around 7 000 000 mm Cubed.)

 

PS3 Slim = 290 mm X 65 mm X 290 mm = 5 466 500 mm  Cubed.(Remember, the consoles dimensions are measured from it's thickest areas, when taken into consideration, PS3 slim measures at around 4 700 000 mm Cubed.)

 

So they are "BASICALLY" around the same size right?

 

PS3 fat and 360 normal take up "BASICALLY" the same volume, PS3 slim is around 25% smaller then 360, and a wooping 30% smaller then PS3. Though you could factor in Power Brick and PS3 slim is 30% smaller then 360. Or you could also factor in and take consoles at actual dimensions, meaning PS3 slim would be 40-45% smaller then PS3 fat.

 

 

Don't post bullshit, without facts.

I dunno, you put them side by side and it doesn't look much different.

I find it funny you looked up all this information though. You need a vagina.

it isnt called ps3 slim though sony has just called it a remodled version lol.

The ps3 slim is still yet to be released ;)


Oh and they should have named it the PS3 flat because well its flat lol

And about Nintendo. I mean full scale redesigns of consoles world wide. I dont mean hand helds i clearly stated that or limited edition pikachu N64's. Because if you want to count that then the 360 has already been redesigned



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Only Sony redesigns their consoles. Microsoft and Nintendo do not need to redesign their consoles, they do not waste money on redesigning their console systems. Why change the design if there is nothing wrong with it?
Microsoft and Nintendo spend money on better investments such as new games, additional content, updates, downloadable content, etc.


nintendo did it, super nintendo and super nes, and with game boy advance, gameboy sp, gameboy, gameboy pocket, nintendo ds, nintendo ds lite, nintendo ds lite with more stuff.



F.U. Fun University.

Link doesn't work.

 

Also looking the same size, and being the same size are different.

 

Oh, and haha about the vagina comment. I'm bi-sexual and don't like to brag but it's very easy to get either or, especially if you act like me. You'd be surprised how well people come on to you if you say you don't care about sex and will wait as long as they need, and respect that they will wait that long. Truth be told i'm not lying to them when I say that, and reassure them everytime it comes down to it, and I would wait, but it instills a sense of... I guess comfort? They are so willing to do it then, and come onto you. Also just broke up with a guy about 4 months ago, been going out with a girl about 3 months now, and it's nearly daily occurance, aparently I am the first guy shes ever been "comfortable" with. She is older than me though, her being 23 and me 20.

 

Ohwell, shes great, love her, all that jazz.



@ JamesCizuz

Try pasting the link. It's still a poor use of the word Slim.

My mistake, you're quite the stud. And thanks for the life story, that must be the feminine side of you.



You don't redesign perfection.
