According to a report by David Richards of SmartHouse, a Sony insider hinted that a new version of the PlayStation 3 (a PlayStation 4 as speculated) could be less that 18 months away. The alleged unit will still be powered by the CELL Broadband Engine, but with new features to fully turn it into a powerhouse multimedia unit.In fact, Sony's former Big Boss and "father of the PlayStation", Ken Kutaragi, has mentioned that the console should now be more integrated into the networked environment, in an unidentified interview earlier last week. He went as far to say that the future game console will be fully "Internet-based."
The insider claim had also included that the console will include an extensive software suite for managing TV content or HD content streamed to the console. This could be the very same rumor that mentioned an extensive and seamless peer-to-peer network that "downloads and instantly plays," as is the technical definition of "streaming."
The new PlayStation unit will sport a different layout for the drive and the attachment area, although there are no other clarifications as to what color or what other enhancements are due for this "PlayStation 4" unit. But going back to his Kutaragi's speech, he had mentioned his view of how the PlayStation console would evolve in later generations.
"The design concept of the Cell processor is the network processor. When the PS3 was introduced last year, the network environment was not ready for a net-based game console. Now it has become possible, so why not enter?" said Kutaragi.
We're not keeping our fingers crossed, but we are keeping our ears and eyes peeled for more developments. Keep tuned in, folks.
UPDATE: Spong unplugs the dream drain for this rumor, folks. It seems that Spong got hold of a Sony UK contact and instead of getting the usual "No comment" reply, they got this little brainstormer: "Obviously, this is garbage." Rumor canned? That call is up to you.

that'll be sweet
lol wtf is wrong with you it clearly says that this is the PS3 with update HD and other features that Sony has being talking about since the PS3 launch. you guys even failed to mention that this "PS4" uses the same cell ship and graphics card as the PS3
nuff said!!!!!
QJ is full of idiots, this is in no way a PS4
PS4 in 18 months?? oh man... i'm already immune to all this bad PS3 rumours... it's a day-to-day thing... i wouldn't be able to sleep at night if i don't read anything that bad for the PS3... the day just wouldn't be complete anymore!!!
in another news (here's the link): http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/multimedia/display/20070503161401.html they've already got a price for this thing!!! hahaha!!!! and i quote: "Given that in the consumer electronics industry manufacturers do not subsidize hardware in hope to compensate their losses by selling many games, it is highly likely that the console, which currently costs $840 to manufacture, will be sold at a premium price. An executive at Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. was quoted as saying that the price range could be from ¥200 to ¥300 thousand ($1680 to $2520)." oh man... life as a PS3 owner!!! it's colorfull!!! i love it!!
http://www.n4g.com/industrynews/News-37669.aspx "Father of the PlayStation, Ken Kutaragi's recent comments in the lead up to his retirement from Sony regarding the next iterations of the Playstation appear to have kicked off a firestorm of speculation. The latest regards the Playstation 4 and its imminent appearance. Australian tech site, Smarthouse, reports that – according to a Sony insider - the PS4 is 18 months away.Sponge spoke to Sony in the UK this morning and were told, “Obviously, this is garbage.” This unequivocal response is very different to the usual, “We don’t comment on rumours” line… very different....."

This is like the same rumor about the psx that came about shortly after the PS2 release. if you google image psx you will see the same image as this article shows. some people to this day still call a ps1 a psx when thats not at all correct.
Jesus Christ, this is NOT the Playstation 4, haven't any of you heard about the PSX? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSX_(DVR) It was Playstation 2 hardware with a ton of extra stuff to turn it into a Media Device. THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. IT IS A NEW VERSION OF THE PSX - NOT THE PLAYSTATION 4. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... STOP REPORTING THAT IT IS THE PS4... THE PS3's LIFETIME IS SAID BY SONY TO RUN TILL 2010.
Woo hoo. The PS3 ELITE!!! I'm in for one. :)
this has been already proven bogus....QJ i dunno wuts wrong wit yall....heres link http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=25607499&sid=6170092&tag=latestnews;title;3
Its a PS3 (DVR) just like the PSX(DVR). Only difference is that it has TIVO functions. & thats it.
Yea Omg PSX is The PSX not the PS1, I hate the stupid people at gamestop!
QJ what the ***** is wrong with you? This has got to be the 3rd lamest post I've seen on this site in last month. FFS learn how to get good articles and keep the *****ty ones out.
the 80GB PS3.. that controller glove thing... and this PS4... anything new about the PS3?
were calling the elite a 720 just a while ago. now that the upgraded version of the ps3 was called the successor you get all defensive... funny.
big difference!!! the Elite was announce by Microsoft itself... this thing has been proven to be a bogus rumour... if a lie has been told about the 360 wouldn't you want to clarify it as well????
this is soo ironic, you guys keep complaining how microsoft only cares about money.... now sony is going to watch the ps3 die just as the psp did, by releasing the ps4 insanely soon, have fun spending $1000 bucks.
This one was proved false though. (obviously) They have plenty of reason to get defensive. As did the Xbox fanboys when the elite was announced... although that one proved to be true
or else ur just going to look stupid... oops you already did!!! read first moron!!!!
thats good.but it wont b a ps4 its still a ps3.remember a new system will use a more powerful graphics card.not the same 1.so this i s just an upgrade.like micrsoft did with the 360 elite,but only better
....i hate the market
its like if u got a x360 and u buy a xbox360 elite lol bull ***** i got i ps3 i ll not buy a upgraded version only for a better hdd lol a 2.5 hdd 100gb for ps3 is like 100 $ on ebay
PS3 for the win... If this is true looks like Sony is doing more then painting their box black hahahahahah MS fails at life making their consoles work properly.
OMG! GUESS WHAT QJ?! SONY JUST ANNOUNCED: PLAYSTATION 5, 6, AND 7 ARE ALL SLATED FOR RELEASE NEXT MONTH! this would be the stupidest move ever in the history of buisness. all ps3 owners would be pissed off and wouldn't buy one, and it would become a dreamcast
Its obviously the PSX2. Take the current PS console, add much multi-media content and networking capability. Sound familiar? Thats because the first PSX was a PS2 with all those abilities. And remember how it failed immediately? I think this is a rumor guy trying to make some buzz.
BS the picture is PSX and WTF it wont BE CALLED PS4 ps4 will be out after 6-7 years or wont be out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSX_(DVR)
I don;t believe it, for me its all blasfemy
for at least 5 more years
What's with the "The PS3 is upgradebable"?? I really hope that this is only a false rumour!
the PS3 has a bunch of problems what make sony think they can release another defective consel they should fix the problems with PS3 before going to PS4
I wish there could be a console that we can upgrade without having to buy new ones. I get attached to my consoles in a way i want to keep it.
i saw dat pic b4, i was going to release in place of da ps3 way earlier but they didnt like da design, but idk would b kool...lies n deception or wat ever u said... how is dat possible if there showing da price, n da 360 elite came out with mor memory dats all, this is way different
when is qj gonna stop recycling rumors? This "project" is not a playstation 4 and has been mentioned as long ago as two months after the PS3's launch. IIRC, kaz hirai came out saying they werei n development of a more multimedia-centric PS3 unit that was intended more as a home entertainment center than a gaming device.
Yeah i remember that picture. (PSX)
