When the PS2 was on the horizon, the Playstation became smaller, same thing with the ps2 (I detect a trend:) ) Anyone wonder what the new "Even slimmer PS3" will look like? And when do you think it will be released? My guess is about 3 years from now, as well as a $500/$600 price tag...

I'd say it will be a bit longer than that before we see a slimmer PS3. Maybe four or five years. By then, with advancements in technology, everything will be smaller...but how much smaller is the real question. Also, by then the price should drop. I guess it would be about $400-ish.

yes but if you look at the facts, when the PS3 was released the technology wasn't as new for that time period so by the time it was released there was pretty much a way to make it smaller already, wit hthe PS3 being so new in its technology, and since the whole thing is used space wize, unlike the PS2 which had that big empty space in it were you could put in a network adaptor.

i would think were at least 6 years away.

$170 is over half the original price of PS2. 200 is 1/3 the price of PS3. Its very possible.

naw man, there will never be a slimmer PS3 because PS3 has been installed with many good parts that wont breake unlike the ps2. Believe me, they can't make a slimmer ps3 with all those parts.Ackad
They can and they will. The Blu-Ray drive will get slimmer, the CPU will get smaller, the GPU will get smaller, and dozens of components will be combined into smaller components. The motherboard will shrink, the power requirements (and supply) will shrink, the cooling fans will shrink, and the PS3 slim will be born. There's nothing magical about the PS3 that stops it from facing the grim reality of all technology - advancement happens, and quickly. Give it four years, Sony will have a slimmer PS3.

The PS3 currently has a 90 nm processor, but is moving to a 65 nm one yet this year. A smaller processor uses less electricity and runs cooler. Sony or IBM or someone said that a 45 nm processor will be out in like 2009. Some analyst felt that this is when a slim PS3 would be possible. So, you'll need to wait two more years for a slim PS3.
