New PS3 Slim announced....

Originally posted by Deadaim Originally posted by Drokun No ethernet means no wired network/internet? lool   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

oh, well i guess not everyone has spare ethernet cables at home

do you want sony to come wipe your a** aswell? lol sony is doing everyone with a ps3 a favor by taking out some of these unneeded things to get the price to 299.99, the machine isnt even called the slim officially, its just the new ps3, the other ones will be gone soon, off store shelves by the end of the year. but this will bring more players and better competetion to the ps3... better video game sales better games etc etc

Well I for one happen to be someone who does have spare ethernet cables lol

I would compromise with some free charmin ultra coupons in the new packaging.

Deadaim, I saw that article, but they haven't announced that PS2 will cease production. The VP in England noted the other day that they are still working on the BC solution, which means they already have it. Until sales of the PS3 pick up, PS2 is still selling, thus they don't want to undermine the PS2 market by BC. That's what the Sony VP stated after that article was posted.

its not like someone is gonna come in your house and be like "oh whats that the new ps3, what a scrub" .. it looks fine

Originally posted by _EnVy_ i actually like its overall looks better...

Originally posted by _EnVy_ Originally posted by NecroBeestiality Originally posted by _EnVy_ 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... This is sort of what I am saying. Smaller is obviously better. But the finish is so blah. I mean it doesn't look that bad per se but consider that expensive technology ideally looks slightly ahead of its time so it still looks cool down the road a bit. This new PS3 looks AIGHT in 2009. Next year and the year after it will age very rapidly I feel......of course that only matters to those stimulated by the aesthetics of their electronics. Some people are, some people aren't, and no one chooses to be either way. have you seen the 360 or read up about it? its uglier than sin and has around a 50% chance of failing and not working shortly down the line. yet it still outsells the ps3. but thank god sony made improvements to their system, or i was going to have to go back to pc gaming 100%. i just dont like investing a good sum of money and it just pooping out on me very quickly. id settle for a little less looks and a better machine anyday over a good looking pile of ****. if you read about the slim, you would know its the best gaming system ever made in overall terms. even better than its mother, the old ps3.

As far as how the 360 looks or sells......not really what I was talking about. The hardware in the new PS3? Seems like an improvement but again, not what I was talking about. You can bring all that into this that is totally fine, but know that is exactly what is happening. I just started a thread asking what everyone's take on the looks are. "Don't care" was your option.....not "Don't care because....". As I mentioned before, this thread is geared toward opinions on the looks. You should probably just leave this discussion to the shallow a$$holes like my self.


I mean that in the non-douchiest way possible. (That is the second time I have said that today....if I have to keep clarifying that, I am probably a big douche, oh well.....dirty vag'z here I come lol)

In all seriousness I agreed with where u were coming from before you said it, it is just that I started a thread about something else.

Originally posted by _EnVy_ just making a point though, cant judge a book by its cover. but like i said to me the slim looks better than the old style, and "looks" to be better period lol. take that for what is worth i guess ~.^

noted

I own the 160GB PS3 that included Drake's Fortune & the free voucher for Pain & I couldn't be happier.

The only discrepancy that I care about besides the trivial differences that distinguish each system is the price point - the more people that own the PS3 the better.

The ‘overweight’ (considering that ‘slim’ is the keyword here) PS3's have always been aesthetically sexy to me.
