New PS3 model pics surface

Man, and I thought the 'regular' slim model was less than attractive. But this just adds even more fugliness to the picture.....

Damn, I miss my lovely ceramic white 'fat' PS3. (I wouldn't have bought a slim if the situation of my old one YLOD hadn't came along...)

How about adding back in the ability to play PS2 games?

As long as it's fully BC compatible I'll pick one up; I could care less what it looks like.

wow that thing looks really cheap. well maybe they'll finally get the over priced internet ready blu ray player down to it's more correct price of about 99.00 U.S dollars. That'd be a fair price, seeing how you can get a stand alone blu ray for about 49.00.

Why the hell are they doing this instead of working on releasing a new console.

Honestly who cares what it looks like I'm still not going to buy one when my original "fat" model is still running strong. Unless they add backwards capability then id be all over it. I'm hoping the picture is deceiving and the thing is a hell of a lot smaller than it looks lol....

My favourite design so far has been the Slim...maybe it's just me... This reminds me a bit too much of the PS2 and the 'old' generation.

By the way, the slim version of ps2 was much better looking than original ps2. Plus it had an extra embedded ethernet card which the original didnt have. Times are really changed, arent they? :)

I dont understand, why ps3 is getting uglier when it gets cheaper. I have a ps3 slim and i though it was ugly (comparing the original ps3) but after see the new one, I started to think mine looks better :) well, these just are empty words. As long as it does the job, its shape isnt important.

My slim looks way better

Man, that is hideous and will date very quickly. why don't they design it to blend with other audio/video gear most people have next to their TVs?

They should have put 4 GB RAM in a new PS3 model and sell it $100 more. I would easily have pwned Wii U.

Sony you are only doing dumb stuff recently but i only ask you one thing. Please give us backwards compatibility for ps4.

this isn't half as bad as the original xbox

I dont remember looking at any of my consoles longer than the time it takes to load a game disc. One has to be a serious drama queen to complain about it. Seriously, it does not even look bad. It's not white nor have m&m buttons on it's controller.

is it made of black cardboard? OR maybe those rippled potato chips? Either way it looks ridiculous. What were they thinking? "Surely, consumers will wanna buy a console that looks this ugly."

Seems like 16gb is a typo...maybe they meant to file 160gb? Thas makes just a lil' more sense...but oh well, I'm not the one wasting the plastic lol

The New PS3: It Only Does RIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDGGGGGGEEEEE RACER!!!!

16 gb. Enough to hold an entire collection of Minis. Or Metal Gear Solid 4.

PS3: Betcha can't just play one.... game.

I'm sticking with my PS3 with a 320 gb HDD in it. I think. All those free games are taking up all my HDD space.

Ugly as sin...I still like the original PS3 design the best. They should have miniturized that. They need to fire their designer. Seriously.

The title of the article says "pics" and I only see "pic."

The 16GB is a typo? It is 160GB as well a 250GB and 500GB. In 2012 there is no way Sony would release a Playstation 3 console with only a 16GB HDD.

I have ps3 slim in my bed room and fat one in the living room, perfer the slim cause it much quiter. but I would be intrested in top loading ps3. I was never fond of sliding loader players

This tells me that Sony is desperately trying to boost their hardware sales. I still have my backwards compatible PS3, threw in a 320GB hard drive and haven't had any problems with it. I just hope this new model is worth the resources they burned in designing it. Resources that could have been used in improving the next gen console.

To everyone complaining about dust, have you never used the vacuum cleaner with the fuzzy end piece (dunno the real name for it.) It works like a treat on just about everything.

That why i keep my ps2 cause if my ps3 broke i can play my old ps2 or ps1 games on it

I'll stick to using my fat PS3 with a 128GB SSD in it!

Why, and ugly to boot. The slim is good enough Sony. Work on revamping some of your exclusives that have fallen through the cracks.

16 Gigaboogies! You ain't gonna play Gran Turismo 5 on that!

I wonder how much the 16GB model will cost? and if the HDD is replaceable? i could buy the 16GB model and replace it with the 250GB HDD of my dead PS3 :)

They got rid of the disc-loading slot and went back to the PS and PS2 models, so it's possible they'll drop the price now to $150-200...I would not even buy that at all. In case if my PS3 Slim breaks, I'll just save my money for PS4 and while every single PS3 games I missed will get cheaper to buy later on. And that 16GB plan...WTF was that Sony? Are you tagging now with Microsoft's 4GB competition? 250GB or 500GB makes sense to offer. Sony, I'll give this nasty finger whoever gave that 16GB idea. Cross our fingers that PS4 will have it's backward compatible with previous PS consoles.

Looks a bit like my old Amiga CD32 but without the circular bit.

16GiB PS3 = 4GiB Xbox 360 What's the big deal? It is not meant for you.

The 16GB hard-drive is quite surprising considering how many games you need to install on the PS3. I have the 250GB slim and I only have around 20GB left largely because of the games that need to install. Also the 16GB will make owning Playstation Plus a pain because you will only be able to download 2 of the 10 games at once. In conclusion, the 16GB is very inconvenient
