Sorry if someone already posted this. Both Sears and K-Mart are offering presales on the PS3 Slim. Looks legit enough for me...

Edit: Update!!! Look at the K-Mart homepage! PS3 Slim confirmed!

Second Edit: Ah, they took it down... it said "Rumours are true! A new and improved PS3 is here!" or something like that...

Is there any confirmation on what the Slim looks like? at $300 I'll probably buy it in case mine dies on me.

The links show no pictures, so no, no comfirmation. I would wait until Gamescon for that! ;)

Well since Kmart owns Sears, no big surprise they would have it up on both sites.

Might be a little unrealistic, but who knows? I just hope Sony announces backward compatibility... I am perfectly happy with my PS3 fat. :D

If/when it does release in August, I suppose that would fit with the rumors that it would release sometime in August, who knows? Cool though, neat find there. I still plan on sticking by my trusty ol' george foreman grill PS3 :P

That is pretty much my feelings on the situation. I'm curious about the final design of it...

So, what...now millions of ps3 owners trade in their fat PS3's for a slim model? I mean, none of this price drop or redesign should affect any body here. New owners will be getting a cheaper built PS3 for $299.00. Lets hope the quality remains. Even if you are in the market for a new PS3, you should probably wait a bit to see how this Slim model is holding up.

Expect the "no games" to become popular again. In any case, if this is true, what would Kazuya's thread be for?

I can't imagine this to be legit if they're the ONLY store to have a pre-order sale? Doesn't make sense, esp. if the release is 6 days away??? 6 days away and no hoopla about it? I'm thinking bogus on this one...

Most likely they were not suppose to put it until after the official announcement but the fact that it is still up some 3 hours later leads me to think it's not a hack or a error.

Most likely an error I think. Still, as far as I'm concerned, its as good as confirmed...

Does it have the same capabilities as the 80GB out right now? Because thats what I have and I love it...my only beef is the lack of BC. So if the slim is the same PS3 but has BC I will get it.

The apparent specs are here. It's supposed to have either 120gb or 250gb options.

"In short: It's a smaller PS3, but that's it. No new features, no special hardware, just smaller and cheaper. And it wont have sex with you."

But if it's going to be released on the 24th of August--6 days away, don't you guys think there would of been some kind of advertising for this major change? I think there will be a slim PS3, but I don't believe it's going to be next week. Major companies aren't known for their tight lips, and I can't imagine Sony not announcing something this big and advertising it IF it's being released next week. Hey, if I'm wrong, that's great for those thinking of getting a PS3.

Yes. And then, they'll start selling a lot of gadgets to fix this or that problem like premature overheating, extra USB ports hub, et cetera.

I read that Sony will introduce through a firmware download backward compability to the ps2 to all existing ps3 models and I think that the slim will have that included.
