Sony’s enigmatic PS3 Slim has finally had an official announcement.
The PS3 Slim will hit stores in September, at a respectable pricepoint of $299, €299 or ¥29,980, Sony said at German event Gamescon.
The PS3 Slim itself is said to be a third lighter than the original, draw a third less power, and will come with a 120GB HDD. Other features will be the same as the soon to be PS3 Cheap.
Official pictures are still lacking, but this probably means the previously revealed designs are close to the mark.
Retailers have immediately begun listing the unit:
Additionally, price cuts on the old, fat models are due, not that anyone wants them now…

Lol, that PS3 is like 4x larger than the System Unit..
plastic looks cheap, weird design.
kutaragi doesn't rike.
I faintly remember the old ps2 slim having some heat issues in the long run. I wonder, will this have any hardware issues as well. Still, doesn't really touch me as I still don't own any new gen console.
on latest release ps2 slim doesn't have that problem.
now really good time to buy new ps2 slim for anybody who don't have console yet but doesn't have money for current latest gen console
plus the the newer ps2 slim (scph9000+)are much more lighter than past slim ps2
"on latest release ps2 slim doesn't have that problem."
-- How many ps2 slim units were sold which *did* have the problem?
-- How did Sony handle the warranty issues with the problematic slim ps2s?

XBOX360 SUCK.ITS A MUTHAFACKING PIECE OF CRAP.
Finally a Price I can afford to buy.
No BC at ALL.
Well I guess I would regret buying the fat PS3 I recently did if it hadn't been a 60gb model coupled with Swap Magic 3.6 >:-p
In Australia, EB have just put it up as AUS$499, or ~US$410.
Yeah I'm rather annoyed with this even though I have a PS3 already. We always get ripped off. I think it would actually be cheaper to import from Japan since it's under 30,000 yen there and all..
I'm surprised japan doesn't have it yet, and just checked gamestop's site apparently it has no ps2 backwards compatibility so guess they plan to end the ps2 soon
If you arent being a idiot and forget that
- U.S. barely has any sale taxe, and europe its around 20% avg.
- ITS 300 BUCKS EITHERWAY
- You are a fucking ami fag
- You are a fucking euro fag whining about ami fags
- America ALWAYS HAD CHEAPER SHIT
- If there were no import taxes in european countries packages from america to europe would not be sent by plane anymore because the delay got so huge that the sea route is faster.
- You are a fucking retard and arent reading complete posts
- You are happy because your currency is weak? LoL
-a euro is worth more than a dollar, your currency is weaker.
-it's not 300 bucks either way, it's more expensive if you buy it in europe retard
1. Europe has a higher average Income compared to the US.
2. European citizens on average work less (over 2 work weeks less) than the average american citizen.
3. The EU has some of the highest tariffs on imported goods in the world, even if said good has a corporate headquarters within the EU.
4. The UK is playing 250 pounds (Vats included), so the difference is not that different.
5. Average sales tax in the US (not including Alaska and Oregon) is about 9%. Higher if you live in states like Vermont. These are not included in the US price.
6. Gas is far more expensive in Europe, there for COST OF DELIVERY MUST ALSO BE INCLUDED.
Ok, THIS anon ^ makes a great argument.
Bill O'Reilly is a faggot
It getting cheaper and cheaper to buy 200 PS3s to bruteforce an SSL certificate.
Yea, looks like my project to study protein and RNA structural folding with 100 PS3s can finally materialize.
...oh wait, PS3 Slim no longer supports 3rd party OS. Well that sucks.
ay caramba! I'll get this one!
confirmed: http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/sony-debuts-slimmer-ps3
I knew waiting to buy a PS3 was a good idea! I know what I'll be getting next month.
MS is going to release a 360 Slim tomorrow for their conference.
It's gonna have no harddrive and no disc drive. Just a power and reset button. You have to supply the drive yourself. It'll only cost $120, cheaper than the Arcade model.
In the meanwhile they'll try to downplay the PS3 Slim announcement by putting their Elite model to $299 phasing out the Pro. The Elite model will have a disc drive and harddrive, but don't know why they're not including HD cables this time around.
I'm curious how they are going to defeat the problem of the 970fx heat issue. Shrinking the dye and making a larger heatsink can only do so much, plus cramming that thing in a smaller space and reducing said heat sink can only lead to the severe heating issues that plagued the machine before hand.
PS3 Slim... slim chance sony'll get any of my money.
join the empire, get a 360...
but will it play ps2 games?
No. But there is a SLIM possibility that they'll add that in the future if that patent Sony filed is ever to become a reality... Which of course, I hope it will.
I am sure a lot of kids are going to want it for Christmas.
but will it play ps2 games?
Until firmware update allows it for non 1st-Generation PS3s, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
is it still huge compare to ps2 slim. maybe they will release a ps3 slimmer in the next few year
PS3, PS3 Slim, PS3 Slimmer, PS3 Flat.
simca is interested, will be saving up for this
nya~
THAT HUGE PS3 IS BADASS WHERE DO I GET ONE?
is there anyone even attempting to hack ps3?
Well, personally, I like fatter, bulkier models (I mean, not so huge...). Get too slim, you get too fragile.
What did they remove?
Why the hell would I stop at 60 when I can get 120?
the 60gb PS3s have full BC unlike the fat 40/80/160 and slim 120gb models.
combine that with SW 3.6+ or 3.8 for a more full ps2 gaming experience.
Now its really time to start considering getting a PS3.
Yes, it's now becoming very affordable...Even I might consider getting one sooner or later with this new development.
Bust still no backward compatibility is somewhat disappointing. Oh well I'll still have a ps2 anyways.
Or refurbished 60GB PS3's. They are available if you know where to look. **cough** GameStop **cough**
I'm happy with my fat ps3. Which i brought specially for all the games exclusive for it. This is just like the fat one excpet for size, and usually big = sexier.
I won't get this anytime soon, but I won' be surprised if I get one as an upgrade.
Not too impressed with the way it looks...
haha, same shit in slim size :D
Haha same dumb fucker posting twice in one article. :D
omg lol, last pic is epic
i just hope this version come with the same things as the original, i don't want to buy again a "ps2 slim w/ no cooler"
Pics
http://www.joystiq.com/photos/playstation-3-slim/2216305/full/
this version looks shit, the older is better.
this version looks like banged-up PS2 being feed on pork chop everyday.
299€.... Yeah of course we in Europe are going to pay more.. Just like with games on steam :D
Doesn't look that bad, at least the new finish isn't a dust/scratchs magnet...
And yet i would never trade my 60GB model for anything else...
Anyone else notice that 300 euros is about 420 USD? That's a pretty big difference even if they usually charge a bit more after converting prices.
Yeah, we're paying for the rest of the world in Europe
Uh u gais r so lucky... I'm in Latin America and the price is like 600 bucks..
Go to my post for the official pictures ;)
Looking forward to this Slim, i will get it for sure :D
GK大勝利！！！！！！

PS3 Win!
そうです！あなたがすごい！
You guys fucking rock, lol
Haha, that PS3 is fakken HUGE. :'D
thought it was a fridge for awhile.
I didn't see it until you mentioned it..
gauffaw..
looool took me a good 5secs of staring to actually notice it
haha i soo want one ps3 fat now :D
I feel a tinge of regret for not holding out longer for the PS3 Slim. But I don’t really mind. I still got my PS3 Phat bundle at a great price (Console + 2 games + extra controller = USD310), and the console itself look mighty impressive in my living room alongside my Xbox 360. Not to mention I still have an old PS2 Phat from yesteryears, so it’ll complement each other.
That said, the latest announcement from Sony will likely see a nice boost to PS3 sales. More hard drive space and less space are great incentives.
a year ago, i bought my PS3 40GB for its full 500$. I also Bought GTA4 (60$) and a 60$ 2 year warranty.
I am so full of rage.
And half as expensive as what it used to be on launch day. Let's just hope it's a stable console.
Whats with the anonymouses and bill oreily's? O.o
it's spelled anonymice!
Official pictures are still lacking?
So what in your retarded ass mind continues to make you believe a PS3 slim really exists Artefact?

You haven't been watching Gamescom have you? The president of SCE holding a new slim PS3 on stage is pretty decent proof.
no need for him to deal such this directly
Dumbfuck
what a stupid fuck
Obviously he does not know what a Playstation is. Or maybe he hails from the Planet "Only-One-Size"
Well, since everyone says you're an idiot, so am I:
You're an idiot.
