Aimless Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Because the PS3 Slim looks like a cheap Chinese knock off that was featured in a ridiculous youtube video? I was thinking more along the lines of, "I told you those leaked factory shots were real from day one," but whatever floats your boat. The premium LBP theme looks rather nifty. Can't say I'm thrilled at the idea of forking out for such things, but I might have to make an exception for the inevitably amazing Last Guardian one. I like that they've swiped the best parts of the NXE, too.
Pit-Jr Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Hey the important thing here is theyve managed to get a competetive SKU out there without sacrificing any important features. My god its hideous but i want one!!
Wesley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 That was good news for me. I've been wanting a PS3 for ages now, mostly for the downloadable games. Also... I'll happily wait for the official photos to hit. EDIT: Wait... is that the official picture? EDIT: ...oh. Looks... just as nice as the PSP Go...
Rowan Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I'm thinking of treating myself to a PS3 Slim now, hope the UK price is about £250. The outside bit does look a bit odd, but its the inside that counts :p Edited August 18, 2009 by Rowan
Pit-Jr Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 The good news is you wont be viewing it from that angle when its sitting on your shelf
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I was thinking more along the lines of, "I told you those leaked factory shots were real from day one," but whatever floats your boat. Sorry, I didn't realise the PS3 Slim actually looked like that. I'd actually pay a bit more to not have one that looked like that.
Wesley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 The good news is you wont be viewing it from that angle when its sitting on your shelf I have really weird shelves.
Emasher Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I'm not sure if I should buy a slim, or look for a good deal on an 80GB one, perhaps a bundle with a few decent games.
Ryan Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) http://www.joystiq.com/photos/playstation-3-slim/2216299/ Next to the controller, gives it a better sense of scale. Is the conference on the Store yet? Edited August 18, 2009 by Ryan
MATtheHAT Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I like it, better than my 'phat' one. But I do have peculiar tastes when it comes to home furnishings. Oh, and the UK price has been confirmed by the official PS blog or something....£249.
Aimless Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I'd actually pay a bit more to not have one that looked like that. I actually think it looks alright. Not immediately beautiful, but then everyone seemed to think the 'old' PS3 was an ugly duckling when that was unveiled. I'm tempted to sell my PAL 60GB and pick up a Slim instead. I never use the backwards compatability and I imagine the new model will be even quieter whilst using about a quarter of the power. I'll have to see one in the flesh first, though.
drahkon Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Me loves the design. Looks better than the big PS3, 360 and Wii in my opinion. Definitely gonna buy one first day. Hopefully I'm gonna see the Slim version live on saturday and can decide whether I'll still be liking the new design or not.
Ashley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Hmm the new price for the phat (btw, to me the phat and skinny are both ugly but for different reasons but hey ho, thats me ^_^) is tempting, although what is the official price point? £130 seems low. Also, just to check. With a PS3 you can bung in a usb pen and watch avi files yes?
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I actually think it looks alright.

I never use the backwards compatability and I imagine the new model will be even quieter whilst using about a quarter of the power. I'll have to see one in the flesh first, though. Yeah, I'm sure I'll get used to it. I miss the silver at the front and I hate the font. I know everyone hated the Spiderman font but the only reason it bugged me was because of the Spiderman thing. I have no desire to change (thank god) but when my PS3 breaks again, because it's only a matter of time with electronics around me, I won't be too disheartened about picking this up. I do miss the silver.
Cookyman Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Also, just to check. With a PS3 you can bung in a usb pen and watch avi files yes? Yes!
Emasher Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Is that the same Analog AV out port as on the old one?
Ashley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Ta. It should then be able to replace my DVD player. I need my USB-powered TV fix :p But yeah, whats the RRP of the phat now, does anyone know? Sorry to be a pain. And in that last image of Cooky's is anyone else reminded of a wide document folder?
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Seriously, it looks so cheap. The original piano black is sexy.
Emasher Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Wait, is the HDD still user replaceable with the slim I wonder?
Ashley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 RRP of Phat now is £250 too. Ah okay. I got confused because I saw this and thought £130 was very cheap...but then realised its faulty. Oops.
Razz Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Seriously, it looks so cheap. The original piano black is sexy. Yeah I agree, I like the design but the texture is way to rough. It needs either the glossy finish, or a really smooth matte.
Gizmo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Must admit, I agree with Daft on the paint. The shiny finish looks much better. At least the Slim won't show up finger prints and dust so much. Looking forward to getting it as soon as it releases. Now to compile a list of games to work my way back through.
