You can honestly say that if "leaked" pictures of this came out you wouldn't think it's a fake? The PS3 Slim is in the exact same line of looks as the PS2 Slim was.le.phat said:

A $300 PS3 slim vs. a $300 Xbox 360 elite. I like the sound of this.

Sony wouldn't make proprietary HDD's for the slim? Right?

They could, and with the growing need of HDD space for older users they should be offering an official external solution, or even an internal one at least for the Slim users. Or maybe a hybrid solution with the option to make it either internal or external depending on the model you have.
In any case, there have been hints from execs about future HDD storage. Nothing concrete, but we'll see.
If the leaked photo is anything like the real slim PS3 will look like, I am happy with it.
I am still not too sold on the new logo, looks way too streamlined and 60s to me, but I can live with it.
As for selling proprietary hard drives with the consoles and forbidding the user to upgrade to a larger one... It makes sense - I believe the Linux-installing feature would also be dropped, because it is used only by IT-nutters and not anyone I know personally.
I believe that a 240GB/280GB fixed-size non-removable hard drive in the slim would be a distinct possibility.

The moment Netflix gets announced for PS3, I'm going to triple dip and pick up two more.

While I know you're joking, I'm wondering how likely it is that not a single other person near this market has gone to also check this out and report back 'to the internet'. Surely someone in the vicinity saw the video and would go to check it out..? Surely if someone actually bought this they'd post about it online?

not at all, because then they will be losing $150 per unit of Phat and would have huge losses in their Playstation business.
People need to understand that the fact that Slim is coming out, doesnt mean that those Phats are produced any cheaper than they are.
It will be cheaper for Sony to sell $300 Slim than $300 Phat.

I downloaded the video, went through it frame by frame, and wow, the details on that Slim are pretty amazing if its a fake. I took six frames and tried to process them in HD looking for additional details.

I very well could be an idiot, but why all the effort into a model shot with a cameraphone??? That thing would have taken days to create if handmade, and why present it in such an awful fashion. Who knows.

It seems pretty silly that no-one else has gone out to confirm this. Its definitely the real deal though. The only issue for me is whether its an actual working unit or something pilfered from a defect batch.

It would break my heart if it was just a prototype stolen from R&D and nothing will be released for a while. Still, Sony patented an Emotion Engine emulation technology for Cell processors (or at least so Siliconera says: http://www.siliconera.com/2009/06/2...ine-emulation-technology-for-cell-processors/ ) so who knows, maybe that's something in the pipeline for Slim.
On the other hand it might just be a downloadable upgrade... Rumours make my head hurt.

If there's going to be a pricecut, and both models are going to be on the market for a while, the PS3 80GB has to come down to somewhere below the Slim's price.
Thus slim won't be $299. They won't bring the fat below that price.
An 80GB fat has to be cheaper than a 120GB slim.
=> to me, either a $399 slim/$299 fat (then $299 slim later), or a $399 fat/$499 slim. I'd rather not contemplate the latter option
Yes it means losing more on the 80GB, but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel: they will run out fairly soon after that (I'm presuming Sony has stopped production on the current fats since there's no advantage to either them or the consumer to keep producing them). So it'd be a short lived bite in the ass.
Of course it's still possible there WON'T be a 80GB model alongside the slim. But I think it's unlikely they're gonna burn through all their inventory before a slim arrives.
it could still be Phat at $399 with two awesome games and Slim with nothing for $399.gofreak said:If there's going to be a pricecut, and both models are going to be on the market for a while, the PS3 80GB has to come down to somewhere below the Slim's price.
