smaller, generally means smaller components that generate less heat and use less electric, not pointless at all to improve on what all ready exists, and offer a better solution to consumers who might be purchasing one this Christmas.
-

-
A new Final Fantasy release can only be imminent. I'm ok with that.
-
-
I'm surprised this model actually raises the price. I thought we'd see a $199 PS3 by now.
-
-
this is their FOURTH design for this console and it still looks terrible

personally i think the games are far better on the ps3, defo worth the price of admission, even if i do play on my pc mostly.
-
Would you be meaning the first party games, or games in general.
For the first one I could understand how someone might think that, but for the second....you would have to be off your rocker. I can't think of a single game that was a better port on the PS3 than on the 360.
I'm not saying there isn't one but the 360 has been the better platform for the vast majority of ports/cross platform games.-

Uh oh, it doesn't come with a Move controller.... Garnett and the WC crew are going to tear this to pieces! ;)
-
Why?

I think it's independent of consumers.
This is a manufacturing thing. It's cheaper to produce the Super Slim, end of story. There's no benefit to the consumers aside from the smaller footprint (and a marginal electrical usage decrease, but who gives a shit about that?). This is purely to help Sony's bottom line.
And it's not a bad idea. I figure MS and Sony will announce their new systems next year for a 2015 release. This is a good way to further reduce costs and squeeze another couple of years revenue from the PS3.-
I think 2015 is way too late for the new systems, sony & Ms are both under a lot of pressure from the rest of the industry to make a move. Sales are down and excitement is starting to slow to a crawl, they need the new systems at the latest early 2014.
-
Yeah, if they announce 2015 release dates Nintendo will look like a fucking genious.

I've stacked up some gift certificates that I'm probably going to use to buy a PS3. Will watch to see how things develop, but it seems quite likely I'll take the plunge during this fall now. :)

Like someone said above, the current price is to shift existing PS3 stock, in a month or two the new version's price will come down below the Wii-U.

But by now people relise that for a combination of a blu-ray play(top of the range BTW) and a console this has to be the best choice? PLUS where else can I get 20-30 games a year for £40? PSN+
Shit i've bought two, one up and one downstairs because it churns through anything I throw at it.
I won't need a super slim but for people with an old fatty, retire it to a blu-ray (plus old 40,60,80gb HD's) and get your game on with the super slim.
Plus DUST_514 is awesome and any freebies will only serve you well.-
-
I jumped on it when Space Marine was free. Now I need to ugrade my hard drive since my 80GB drive can't even hold all the shit that released for free, much less the stuff I bought.
-
-
I keep my fatty alive for the backwards compatibility
-
Yeah here's the thing about that. I just got one of those a couple months ago off craigslist. I was pretty stoked about the backwards compatibility.
Turns out that even when you play a PS or PS2 game in 480i on an SDTV, they lag like crazy. Gradius is unplayable, as I'm sure older wipeouts and fighting games are too. Totally unacceptable.
Because of that, I will eventually get one of these new slim guys and sell my BC model. No hurry though, the BC model will retain it's value ($200-250) and these super slims will eventually drop in price. -
I wanted a fatty for BC but I don't think I've ever played a PS2 game, other than the first 20 minutes of the first GoW game.

$299 for WiiUlite and $349 WiiU.

Yeah, that's a great deal smaller than the PC/space heater with spider man lettering I have under my desk. I'm very interested.

next day: let's drag this rake through the top of the plastic molding. Viola!
-
-
Do you guys think Sony and Microsoft both have preliminary models of their next gen systems ready to go, but they're just waiting for the other guy to make the first move? Then they come along 6 months later and announce their killer system?

My original PS3 was never that loud, my new slim version is silent, although from time to time the drive makes horrific noises.
-
-
Looks cool but too expensive, would be cool if MS came out with a much smaller 360, maybe without a drive and make it a media/xbla box with like 32gb of flash memory.
-
Still ugly.
-
yeah. It clashes with my whole attire.
