Rumor: PS3 Slim to cost UK£ 40 lower than cheapest current PS3, will come in 2 models |
Ó
A Telegraph report has claimed that the long-rumored PS3 Slim is "expected" to cost less than the cheapest current PS3s by around UK£ 40 (about US$ 68) when it hits retail. The same reports also says that the Slim is "likely" to be available in two configurations.
The statements above are unsourced and should be taken with a heap of salt, but for info's sake here's what the Telegraph has to say about the PS3 Slim:
The new console, dubbed the PS3 Slim, is expected to cost less than the current generation of PlayStation 3 consoles, which start at around UK£ 300 (US$ 508) for the 40GB version. The Slim is likely to come in two models, one with a 40GB hard drive, another with an 80GB hard drive, with prices expected to start at around UK£ 260 (US$ 440).
Keep in mind that even if those UK prices turn out to be true, North America will likely have totally different price points -- quite possibly way lower -- owing to the sometimes nonsensical differences in the nature of game and console pricing in the two territories.
The Telegraph also reports that according to DigiTimes, Sony has ordered enough parts to make a million Slims in the third quarter of 2009. This could be further evidence that backs up the existence of the PS3 Slim.
Still, treat this as pure rumor as of now, folks. Lets hope Sony does indeed have something official to say about it at GamesCom later this month.

Giving it liposuction and a moderate price point just wouldn't be the same... It loses all of it's luster and looks so depressed and flat. Instead of sitting around eating an endless supply of pizza and playing TMNT Turtles in Time Re-Shelled on XBLA, it would be inclined to get up out of it's seat and use Wii Fit on a regular basis and play Wii Sports Resort every few hours after walking the dog outside...
No... I can't bear to watch what Sony will do to it's chubby little console. Sure, it's jealous of it's 2 older brothers and it's cousin who all got makeovers, but not like this, they weren't like this...
Seriously though, if that's really the design, they need to go back to the drawing board. Looks like a black Wii Balance Board. I really have the urge to step on it for some reason...

2. Being a computer programmer and hardware junkie for more than these kids around here, this will have a heat issue no matter what they do. PPC CPUs get very hot and this isn't what would let air flow well. The fat does everything, just like my original PS2 fat. No issues, no flimsy construction.
