This bundle offers more than $70 in total combined value.

Only a 25% size reduction? Not impressed. It's also ugly as shit (now it looks even more like a grill! :laughing:)

 

And has that price actually gone UP!? Even the wonkily sized 12GB flash model is more expensive than the cheapest PS3 today! (and that can't be costing them nearly as much as the HDD model!)

 

WTF is Sony doing!? Why aren't they lowering the price and doing a Vita bundle to take on the Wii U and boost Vita sales!?

I'm curious as to what price the retailers are going to sell the 12GB flash based PS3 at.

 

If they can make it £150ish, there could be some brilliant competition come Christmas.

 

It's more expensive than the current 160GB model, so it'll be at least £189.99 (probably £199.99)

 

You can forget any idea of brilliant competition at that price (oh and apparently it STILL doesn't come with a HDMI cable :mad: )

 

Edit: Maybe not... Sony does what Nintendoes (as usual!) it seems...

“With regards to price, we no longer set an RRP, instead, that will be dictated by individual retailers themselves,”

 

I bet retailers will still go with at least £189.99-£199.99 though...

I'll post this here because no one seems to want to release any good pictures of it.

Upright I'm not a fan but from the front I actually think it's the nicest iteration of the console. From the front it looks slick as sin. I love it. Although I think the Slim is fugly.

Agreed the slim is an eyesore and this is a much nicer looking machine...though I prefer it upright :p

 

Wish I had this instead of the slim which I bought earlier in the year but oh well.

wow its ugly and it looks like an Amp for a Sub in a car, and those get hidden for a reason

 

still no reason to get rid of my launch model 60gb, if they ever add in ps2 backwards compatibility then i may consider it.

 

prices are typical sony in fairness, they are loosing money on the gaming devision and aren't willing to take a further loss to drive sales

Not sure about the newer look PS3 but then I said that about the PS3 Slim and I wouldn't go back to my old original PS3 at all now. Pricing for the 12 GB Flash model seems too high, under £200 is a lot better. However I've heard that Sony will probably not set an official RRP for the UK so it's up to the high street and online retailers to set the prices.

 

Does anyone know if the newer models use less electricity?

They pretty much should do. The slims have seen a constant reduction in size on the inside and are lighter.

Will be interesting to see the insides considering the size. Impressive considering the PS3 has its power adapter and more components than the WiiU and 360. The removal of the slot drive is a shame but not a big deal this many years in. People can clean their drive lense if necessary.

 

I doubt we will see any serious price cuts given that Nintendo decided to go with cheaper to manufacture hardware than the 360 or PS3. MS and Sony will be quite jealous of Nintendo's margins.

The ps3 had got progressively more ugly as time has gone on. I'm still gutted my phat broke. I couldn't justify buying a second hand one over a slim but I think it looks weedy by comparison. The new looks even worse.

 

Pretty much. It started out ugly and went downhill from there.

 

Shame really cause the Vita is a really nice looking machine (as was the PS2 Slim and the PSone)

Interesting. I am quite curious about how much the current 320 GB weighs compared my slim-launch 120 GB.
