The guys at T3 are saying one of their inside men has heard word that Sony will be producing a slimmer, sexier PS3 heading for the shelves this autumn. Gizmodo
THIS PICTURE IS NOT REAL. IT IS AN ARTISTS RENDITION. http://gizmodo.com/351496/slim-ps3-is-heading-for-shelves-this-autumn Thoughts? Would you wait for it, or just buy a PS3 now? Dizzcuz.

While it looks good, I'm not too sure how well it will handle heat. I wouldn't be suprised if it would start having problems like the 360's are. You start shoving all that horse power under the hood and shrinking it down just makes it that much harder to breath. If it aint broke don't fix it.

I like my big black beast. Its about the same size as the 360, and they look good together, along with the tiny Wii looking out over them. They are one big family. :D

The image is an artist's rendition. Of course its fake. Does not mean that they are not planning a slim PS3, which is what the thread is about, not the picture.

Why would you need a down-sized PS3? Unless you absolutely will suffocate in your house if someone puts a PS3 there, I doubt it's neccasary. The only game systems that should get slimmer are handhelds.

lol Fake Pics FTW. Dude Don't expect a slim PS3 till atleast 2010. The slim version of PS1 &2 were not released till 4 years after the console release and the same thing will happen with the PS3, I have no doubt in my mind that there will be a slim PS3 but not this soon.

It clearly says T3.com at the bottom. The quote also says, "..will be..", in future tense. As in it has not happened yet. Without the mockup, the OP looked lonely.

Personally I don't like the look of it. I think the black original ps3 is a beautiful piece of electronics. In regard to the topic of a slim ps3, unless you don't have a lot of space or the hardware was changed significantly, I don't see the importance of a smaller console.

I included some text above the photo saying it's merely a mockup, an artists rendition. Who would have known it would all go so wrong...

Well it's obvious there will be a slim version of the PS3 "in the future". There was one for the PS, PS2 and PSP so it only makes sense to assume that there will be one for the PS3.


But will we see it anytime soon? I don't think so.

Whichever PS3 has the most BC when I decide to buy a PS3 is the one I will get. Big or small.

I was referring to the Wii mushed on there comment. It made me lol to think of Sony as sticking a Wii onto the PS3.

I could see that happening when they shrink the cell and rsx down to 45nm,which is supposed to happen late this year,although if they do slim it down it's bound to come with a power brick,let's hope it's not the same size as the 360's otherwise it beats the point of slimming it down.

The right portion looks like the Wii except taller and a little bigger.

I'm glad they're not real pics because that looks hideous IMO. The PS3 in its current form looks like a high end piece of electronics equipment and is a gorgeous mahine. Be pretty interesting to see what Sony come up with for the slim model.

It's nice that the PS3 will be more compact, but I'd stick with the juggernaut version. Also, if they do release a thinner version, I hope it doesn't look like those pics, it looks like a Wii strapped to part of a PS3.

haha laughing at all the people that said fake, cause they didnt even read the post. And if the PS3 Slim came out this year, PS3 sales would be crazy. One reason the PS3 isnt more popular is because of how huge it is.

I'm not sure I agree with you there, regarding the size. I'm just not sure how wise a decision it would be to put out a slim PS3 so early.

I think people missed the point in the slim PS2, it didn't just sell because it was smaller the main reason was because it was so damn cheap by then and had a killer line up. The PS3 does not fill either of those requirements just yet so just wait I guess.

PS: I actually like the design lol and would buy it :shock:.

Sony will lower the price of the PS3 before spending the money to retool everything for a new design.
