I saw this in the 360 forum and read about it on CNET. The new slim comes out 9.1.09.

It is 36% smaller. That is nice but the materials are super blah to me. When PS3 came out in 2006 I thought it was very good looking. A bit big and heavy but whatev....

It is 3 years later, the LCD and Plasmas that will commonly sit next to or near these consoles are even more common and better looking.....so why is the fit and finish taking a step backwards on this new shell for the PS3?

My PS3 doesn't have a single blemish on it. It has never been transported outside of its original packaging, it sits on a folded paper towel, and there is no pet hair in sight. If I spend money on something, I like to keep it looking mint. I am not balling to the point of having nice things everywhere so the the things I do have need to gleam. I don't think this new PS3 knows how to gleam :(

No big deal though....I am fine with the looks and the 80GBs my existing unit has. How do others feel about the looks?

Did you go to the link I posted?

120GB, smaller package, less power consumption, lighter weight are the pros

no more linux, drab (imo) finish are the cons


It is a strong set of pros if you don't already own a PS3....

Pros - it's smaller; bigger HD; retro compatible on selected games.

Cons - it's 1 fn ugly mofo (was born up the ugly tree, popped out of and ugly vajayjay, slipped off the top ugly branch and hit the ugly ground but not before hitting every fn ugly branch on the way down and while it was on the ground it got covered in ugly p!ss from an ugly dog's ugly d!ck); because it's smaller it'll over heat faster; they say they've saved money making it like this but you know that just means it's less reliable and has sh!ttier components.  Did I mention that it's ugly as sin???

the real pros and cons to me are whether or not its more stable or less stable. it uses less power and probably has an upgraded heatsink fan design.. so im guessing it will probably be better.. but there is always a chance that it being smaller could end up making it overheat and be worse.

I'm really surprised people don't like the look...I don't dislike the current version but the new one looks pretty sweet to me.  Although I'd have to wait to pa** judgment until I actually see it first hand...

i just wish it had the ultra sleek wet jet black finish outside skin like the old one. i do like that about the old one better. but the design, slimness and the fact it has 120 gigs and an in-power source makes it a far superior machine to the old ps3. the looks are about even to me because i thought the old one was in fact to big. this one is perfect, just wish it had the same finish on the outside. you would be dumb to take the old one over this new slim design...

i think this new version and 3.0 firmware are gonna put sony in a good spot for a comeback. of course 360 is dropping their elite in price but thats not new tech like the new ps3

sup kesi, i think what it says is it doesnt come with an ethernet cable in the box, you have to buy your own. you can see in the pics of the back of the unit that it comes with ethernet port. http://kotaku.com/5340085/ps3-slims-pics-and-specs/gallery/#

click on my link, the specs are there it has wired ethernet port, it doesnt come with a free ethernet cable, similiar to the way the new 360 elites wont come with HDMI cables in the 299 model
