So my 60 GB is kinda dying, I had it fixed few months ago and now it's become very slow. I'm gonna buy a new PS3, but I heard Sony was readying a new model. Is there any chance we'll get any info about this model in E3? I simply wanna know if I should wait or just go buy one before that.

Thanks.

Sony will be focusing alot on the NGP and The Move at E3..I doubt they have a new model in the works and if they do it will probably only be a HDD upgrade, so I would buy a slim now.

It's possible. Maybe they will make bigger HDD's standard. They already bumped the slim once from 120GB+250GB models to 160GB+320GB models. I could see them going for a 250GB model standard and keeping the 320GB or maybe making a 500GB version. Hardware is continually being revised.

Yeah...I don't see that happening. Just get a slim, if you can.

I would hope not, current models already have a large enough HDD in my opinion and I'm not sure what else could be improved. IF they released some ultra small version of the PS3 that had full BC and other stuff then sure, but sony has other things to be working on right now. I'd be more interested in seeing the NGP and so forth.

Yeah I understand they're focusing on the NGP (which I'm stoked on). Guess I'll be picking a slim soon, thanks for the replies.

Relax dude. I can't exactly remember where, but I read that Sony was making a new PS3 model after the hacking thing happened. I'm not sure if it's legit or not, and that's why I was asking. I'm not assuming they're making a new one, I'm just wondering.

i am calm, its just that u see threads like this 5x a day!!! i mean ud think ppl actually do some research before posting. and no its nother another model, sony was talking about sending a firmware update to all ps3s that added security and what not. it wasnt about a new model

I did research, in fact I lurk these forums daily and I haven't seen any thread about this in a while, I've seen some about the PS4 but not about the new model. A quick look right now on the first 10 pages didn't show any of those threads actually. As for the firmware they said it was a temperary solution, nothing exactly related to a new model.

Anyway, thanks for the advice and I'm looking into the Killzone 3 bundle right, it looks great! ;)

The K3 has been discontinued those are the last and they are no long 300 on amazon they are selling for like 369 or something. Honestly if you want a new ps3 i would wait for a good bundle to do so in the fall, if your 60gb is working ok just make sure you are backing it up in case it goes down. i dont understand how its going slow its not like a desktop PC or anything My 60Gb just died in November and showed no signs what so ever. The only new model PS3 i have ever heard of is a more secure version due to the whole hacking thing, Maybe that gets shown and a price cut gets revealed for the fall would be top of my list,

Aww, that sucks, they show on ebgames website though. I'll check if they still have some.

As for my PS3 I got YLoD few months ago, I got it fixed but now everything is too slow in it. The loading times, the frames dropped (I usually don't notice low frame rate or screen tearing even in bad games, but now I do notice low frame even in good games), even in-game voice overs in FFXIII became slow-motion voices.
