New PS3 model pics surface

It kinda looks like the right side could slide over top of the left side, so maybe thats how you access the disc compartment. Looks kinda cheep so maybe the price will be to, sure would be nice if it would play ps and ps2 games as well. That would wrap up this gen nicely and give gamers a reason to buy this redesign.

I have A ps3 already, besides the GB of this new model, what else is it capable of doing? unlike the xbox newest model the reason to buy that was b/c it was incapable of getting the RRoD and it had better ventilation and smaller. so what's the new perk for buying this PS3 besides more GB?

I don't care for the design but a 500 GB is a strong selling point.

@Jadashake Yep. I had to delete games and demos all the time when I had a 120gb hard drive. I've not had to do that once now that i've plugged in a 500gb drive, although I think I might need to start doing that again soon.

Sure 16gb is workable but you won't be getting the best out of it for sure. I think, as someone said. maybe it is a typo and should have been 160gb. Are 160gb drives really that expensive? I wouldn't have thought so.

But either way I don't find this slimmer model exciting at all and I was thinking of maybe getting a slimmer model if they release one, but if it's a top loader I think it means it can't be used vertically which means it needs more desk/shelf space whereas I want one that will be smaller and more practical. And this one looks a little ugly too, so I think i'll be passing..

Cool. I'm interested :)

if this is $100 (At most 150) I buy it!!! xD!

just need to play mgs titles!!!

introducing this model now means one thing, no ps4 till at least another 2 years, PC FTW

Those ridges are there so that when you cook a burger on it it gives you nice grill lines.

Looks cool but too little too late in my opinion, I have the old chunky glossy one and the top is so marked from wiping it it looks terrible in light.

I think the slim should have been the original and then this be the later slimmer model, another afterthought, I'm just wondering how much that'll cost in the UK, and 16GB is a really dull idea aswell because the PS3 installs almost everything to its hard drive, could only install about 3 or 4 games maximum at one time.

Totally Fugly!

Maybe it's not ridges, but alternating surface textures? (I hope)

Um, no thanks Sony... I'm not digging the cardboard look :/

Seriously, 149,99 for an ugly 16 GB PS3 would seem like a good strategy to me... Am I day dreaming?

New slogan -

"PS3, now ribbed for her pleasure"

Price cut? Yeahhhh!!! Eat this Wii You! = P

1) That looks fkn hideous.

2) Who thought it would be clever to have a 16Gb model?

But will it blend?

Ha! It looks like its made out of corrugated steel sheets! Like a little black warehouse! Ill stick with my big fat old boy thank you very much!

it looks ugly

I want it

can someone explain to me why would I need more than 16GB, game plays from DVD amirite? If I play 1 game at a time, sell it, buy another etc, do I even need more space than that?

As long as it doesn't YLOD, I'm in.

No "BC" = NO purchase for me..

This is not a bid at selling new hardware to current PS3 owners. Just like the slim it's an update that first of all aims at making production cheaper, so that Sony can either lower the prices or score some more money. The 16 GB version feature flash memory instead of a traditional harddrive. Since you can't get a new harddrive for less than ~$50, and 16 GB of flash memory sells for only ~$10 Sony should be able to drop the cost of this model by ~$40.

Whats with the ridges? the Xbox had those and it was a pain to keep clean.These console designers really don't think things through enough its either piano black that looks a complete mess after a few days or its ridges that will never clean.What ever happened to good old smooth satin finishes?

This seems alright , who cares about the amount of storage is easily fixed , maybe some people just want the 16gb for online multiplayer if it is cheaper and gets more people with a playstation 3 then it has worked

How about adding the emotion engine back in now they're more steady financially, it's the only thing that makes sense...currently this is pointless.

Don't like the ridges, slim was just fine size wise, people already upgraded their HD when the wanted 500GB's worth of space. I don't really see the point of this.Yeah, its good that you're trying but honestly just work on nailing out all the kinks in the current systems.

if it's a 16 gb drive, you may as well not include a hard drive and save consumers the cost, because they'll only buy that model to swap it out.

terrible.

OMGOMGOMG 500GB HD fuckin insane it must be so much more fucking powerful than the old PS3's LOL IM BUYING IT.

ridges are terrible.. It's going to get ridiculously dirty if you aren't on top of cleaning it and have dust problems.

The PS3 is ugly enough, and so was that PS3 concept controller. In fact, like the controller, stick with the PS2 design. Repackage a PS3 into a PS2 shell and I'll consider buying (another) PS3.

It look like the old slim Not much difference and i dont think people who already own the old ps3 slim will waste money on this model ....
