Agree with NexGen76, at least 2-3 years till a slim one comes out.

I can see it being a possibility since they shrunk the cell processor to 45nm. Its suppose to offer more power to the chip since its smaller so a smaller PS3 is a viable option with a modified motherboard that doesnt need extra chips to compensate for the older chip. It would be a good idea if the price would be cheaper but remember when theres cheaper theres flaws or set backs.

also agree man at least a year or 2 before we get a new ps3, i think they also should add a sonystyle option so you can upgrade the HDD
i think there are up to 320 on 2.5"

cuz i like to have backup movies ready to play and wouldn't it just be

he wont do that since his file is full of viruses and trojans since there is no way of playing ps3 games without and iso boot loader. and you cant even find that anywhere to download. oh and by the way andy1977, nice job on breaking the rules by posting a direct link to downloaded material.

Well let's see: laptop Blu-ray, smaller cell, no hdmi, no wifi, 2 USB, no optical, no extra ports, less graphics ram, less mobo ram, reconfiguration of mobo. Yeah its defenantly possible but it will be stupid in comparison to the buff ps3

first off lets stay on topic the ps3 will go slim in less than 2 years trust me sony will scramble out some mumbling stories and then deny everything you know get ppl thinking and hoping then Bamm!!!

they'll have a large propaganda on it and release it

and dont say they cant or they wont you have to remember microsort is releasing a xbox portable (still in works and rumors) and sony already released the psp slim and there was only rumors and also with skype for the psp, there was rumors and sony said nothing on the matter then bamm!!! they released it in ver 3.90ofw

and sony can do it lol well nothin now but to wait and see

@spydah
like 21q hinted at, there is also a slimmer blu ray player that was made, they just need to find a way to cheaply mass produce it.

@don010
sony, and most companies, don't like to comment on rumors because if something doesn't work out and they have to drop it, they look bad. if they say something won't happen and then it happens, they look bad. so if they say, "no comment" they can make something and look good, or decide against something and say they never said anything about something happening and it was just speculation.

And since no one else posted it, this is the picture from these t3 guys as to what the slim ps3 might look like.

it would be made expensive that is for sure, it would be as dumb as getting a gameboy advanced micro

Sony, as is policy, refused to comment. "We don't comment on rumour or speculation."

The rumor is not completely off base though. Sony has introduced slim versions of its PSP, original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 after production costs fell.

---

As we have seen in the past this is the norm when it comes to Sony and the progression of their products in gaming. It comes out normal then gets a new coulor and rumble pack then goes on a diet and becomes slim and the price stay the same i wonder if that the key here to keep changing soo that the price does not have to alter.

Mate the reason is i do not have the time i once had to sit everyday and read and keep up to date with the news threads as u may have noticed i am not in the forums anymore due to my lack of time. I love aD and although i do not have the time i once had i still feel i can contribute to these threads although old as in last month. I still want to be kept up to date but i am doing at my own time now. Sorry if that effects u. If this is the case and u think that the news article is too old then why not unsubscribe.

Anyway no harm or malacie intended towards you mate just my explanation of why i pop up late on these article threads nowadays.

Im sure that the ps3 is the BEST cooled current gen console yet.
Im sure thats what i read atleast - I could be wrong

no the cooling on ps3 is just enough! me and my buds have a few crashes after playing fall of man for over 5 hours...not enough
but its cooling isn't that much better then the 360's, sometimes worse!

Cool! Now original ps3's will be cheaper!

And since when did linking to COMPLETELY LEGAL open source material become against the rules?? YDL is FOSS and licensed under the GPL, or does that stand for nothing in Finland since the MPAA/RIAA made pussies out of the government?

Rumours of a slim ps3 are just that.. rumours. Expect to see one when there are about 12 months of life left in the console to extract yet more money out of people.

---

The slim PS3 will probably have a lower life expectancy than the slim PS2, barely a year. The PS2 worked for 1 year for most people I know and that is just a bad idea for anyone who plays alot of console games.

Hellooo, if Sony can make a decent laptop I know they can make a slimmer PS3 with everything the bulky PS3 has and maybe even better, but I doubt it will be coming out that soon. If they want to make money selling a slimmer PS3 they should make a cooling dock cause they're gonna need it. (sold separatly of course)
This is what they should make the slimmer version have:
1. free wi-fi
2. backward compatable (for newbies out there I mean for it to play PS1 and PS2 games)
3. affordable price
4. more MMO games
5. two USB ports
6. cd/dvd player
7. some kind of messenging app like the Wii's message board and Xbox's Xbox Live
8. better on screen virtual keyboard
9. 160GB HDD
