August 19th, 2009 08:37 AM #3They have always made slim versions before but I think in this generation since talo sila sa Xbox 360 they had to release it much earlier in the PS3's lifespan.

August 19th, 2009 11:29 AM #4So magkano naman kaya ito? Bibili pa naman sana ako. and now may lalabas na bago. Yung XBox ng mga kids ko.....Jurrasic na!
Magiging mura na siguro yung bulky na PS3, or ipi-phase out na nila ito?

Probably-fake video of the PS3 slim surfaces
posted Jul 12th 2009
We're pretty much assuming this video of a purportedly "stolen" PS3 slim at a street market in the Philippines is fake, but given the mounting pile of evidence and Sony's other recent leaks, we feel compelled to share it with you. Nothing particularly amazing here -- it's a blurry video of a black plastic box with that new rounded-off logo style from the PSPgo on it -- but if it's real it's certainly interesting. So, what say you -- KIRF, or the real deal?
Update: So this video was originally posted in the PS3 News forums, along with the nicer high-res pic above, which pretty much matches the box art we've seen. Anyone changing their minds?
From the video's author "TheLastDestroyer":
"I'm sorry the video is very short and very low quality, but my phone is ancient and the memory is very low, but i hope you believe me when i say this is in no way a fabrication.
I found the PS3 slim at an underground market in the Philippines. They were selling it for roughly 250 pounds (converted from 20,000 PHP) with a Dualshock 3. More details at the website."

August 19th, 2009 03:58 PM #9Siguro looks lang, not much on specs. The design looks really cheap, parang PS2 ung cover, mas okay ung original na glossy.

August 19th, 2009 04:08 PM #10Yeah looks cheap, not as slick as the normal PS3.
However, it does boast a reduction in electricity of 34%....
I read the normal 80GB ones will cost $299 (?)

August 19th, 2009 05:22 PM #14^^ I've just discovered that my old PS3 has a card reader :rofl:.
just goes to show I've never use that feature.
as for the ps2 compatability and 2 usb slots, It's the same as the large version the last time I checked.

August 19th, 2009 06:58 PM #16True, those features have little use. However the 4 USB slots are useful for playing mutiple instruments, it also run cooler than using multi slot adapters. But those features dissappeared a long time ago with the 80GB and 160 GB models. A 320 GB Slim is also slated for release soon.
Has anyone seen it in VMall?
The new 3.0 firmware will be released concurrently with the PS3 slim, which should provide a breath of fresh air for existing machines. Other new features of the PS3 slim include BRAVIA Sync, which allows you to control the PS3 XMB over HDMI through your BRAVIA TV remote, and System Standby to shut off the PS3 when the BRAVIA TV is off. Sony also claims this new machine will run more quietly than existing PS3 systems, which is good news for people who like to watch movies or have conversations in the general vicinity of their game console. There's also a Vertical Stand, which will retail for $24. Not so awesome is Sony's removal of the Install Other OS feature... farewell, Linux. We hardly knew thee.
Update: We've got press shots! Check 'em all in the gallery below, and be sure to pore over that to-scale comparo pic up top. There's one from above as well, which reveals that the new model is actual "deeper" than the PS3 fat.

August 19th, 2009 07:13 PM #17For arguments sake, 2 USB ports is enough already, if you need more just buy a cheap hub. Card readers? Who really uses these when there are sufficient substitutes around like HTTP file server and USB pen drives to name a few. But PS2 compatibility is where 40GBers can't defend themselves, it's a good function to have.

August 19th, 2009 07:24 PM #18But to be honest all Sony talk about is hardware, where are the software? The good must-have games. Kaya lampaso sa Xbox 360 eh mas maganda nga PS3 hard ware wise but hardware is useless without the good quality must-have games that the XBox 360 has more...
